Creator Ad Reporting
The primary metrics in a Creator Ad are Impressions, Clicks, and CTR.
Impressions are a count of how many unique users saw your ad on a given day.
Clicks are the actual number of times a unique user actually clicked on the ad and saw your products. It’s expected that the number of clicks is lower than impressions.
CTR stands for Click Throuh Rate. This is a percentage that is derived from Clicks divided by Impressions.
An industry standard for CTR is a little over 1%.
