How it works

Enter your impressions and your reach, and the ad frequency calculator gives you the average number of times each person saw your ad, plus how often that is per week.

Too few and nobody remembers you, too many and people start scrolling past. A common rule of thumb is 3 to 4 times a week before the ad wears out.
