Reach is a digital marketing metric that measures the total number of unique users who have seen a piece of content, advertisement, or campaign. Unlike impressions, reach counts each user only once, even if they see the content multiple times.
In social media and advertising analytics, reach is used to evaluate how widely content is distributed and how many individual people it has impacted. It helps marketers understand audience size and campaign visibility.
For example:
- A Facebook post is seen by 5,000 unique users, so the reach is 5,000.
- An Instagram ad is displayed to different users across multiple regions.
- A YouTube video is shown to new viewers through recommendations.
- A marketing campaign targets a specific audience segment and tracks unique viewers.
