Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why should I use Reach instead of Impressions?
Reach measure unique individuals, while Impressions count every time your post is seen (one person could see it 5 times). Reach provides a more accurate view of how many people chose to interact with your content.
2. What is a good Click-through Rate (CTR) for email?
Most industries see a 2% to 5% CTR. If your CTR is below 1%, it usually means your call-to-action (CTA) isn't clear enough or is buried too deep in the email.
3. Is high engagement better than high reach?
High engagement signals quality and relevance. High reach signals awareness. For conversion-focused campaigns, engagement is usually the superior metric to track.
4. How does the Bounce Rate affect my email security?
A hard bounce rate above 2% can damage your sender reputation, causing your emails to land in spam folders or be blocked entirely by providers like Gmail.
