What is Social Media Reach?

Social Media Reach measures the total number of unique users who see your content. It's a key metric for understanding the visibility and distribution of your social media posts. Reach is different from impressions, which count the total number of times your content is displayed (including multiple views by the same user).

Why Reach Matters

Tracking your social media reach helps you understand how widely your content is being distributed. It allows you to:

• Measure the effectiveness of your content distribution strategy
• Understand how algorithm changes affect your content visibility
• Identify which content types reach the widest audience
• Evaluate the impact of paid promotion on content visibility
• Set realistic goals for audience growth and content performance

Reach vs. Impressions

Understanding the difference between these metrics:

• Reach: The number of unique users who see your content
• Impressions: The total number of times your content is displayed (including multiple views by the same user)
• A high impressions-to-reach ratio indicates that the same users are seeing your content multiple times
