Impressions: Definition

How often your ad is shown. An impression is counted each time your ad is shown on a search result page or other site on the Google Network. Note: If your ad or keywords aren't receiving enough impressions, read Issues with fluctuating impressions.

  • Each time your ad appears on Google or the Google Network, it's counted as one impression.
  • In some cases, only a section of your ad may be shown. For example, in Google Maps, we may show only your business name and location or only your business name and the first line of your ad text.
  • You'll sometimes see the abbreviation "Impr" in your account showing the number of impressions for your ad.
