Post Impressions

Post Impressions is the total number of times a post was visible in user timelines or feeds. It simply indicates that the post was shown in a timeline or feed and does not necessarily mean that people read it, clicked to open it, or engaged with it in any way. It’s important to distinguish between Post Impressions and Post Reach.
