The number of different people or accounts reached by content.

Definition

Reach shows how many unique people or accounts saw a piece of content. It is a central awareness metric and a base for many campaign comparisons.

Also known as: Unique Reach

Why reach is not everything

High reach can create visibility, but by itself it says little about audience fit, purchase intent, or profitability.

For creator selection, relevant reach is more important than maximum reach.

Role in the funnel

Reach matters most at the top of the funnel when brands build new audiences or make products known.

For performance goals, it should be connected with CTR, conversion rate, CPO, and ROAS.
