# TikTok Impressions: Ad Views on TikTok

> Track how many times your TikTok ads appeared on screen. Monitor ad visibility and reach to optimize campaign delivery.

<Tip>
  TikTok Impressions measures how many times your ads appeared on screen — the same viewer can account for multiple impressions.
</Tip>

## Formula

<Info>
  **TikTok Impressions** = **SUM** ( Ad Impressions ) **FROM** TikTok Ads

## Example

Your TikTok campaign delivered **2.4 million impressions** last week across three ad groups.

| Ad Group   | Impressions   | Spend        | CPM        |
| ---------- | ------------- | ------------ | ---------- |
| Awareness  | 1,200,000     | \$4,800      | \$4.00     |
| Engagement | 850,000       | \$3,825      | \$4.50     |
| Conversion | 350,000       | \$1,925      | \$5.50     |
| **Total**  | **2,400,000** | **\$10,550** | **\$4.40** |

## How It Works

TikTok counts an impression each time your ad appears on a user's screen. This includes feed ads, in-stream ads, and TopView placements. The same user can generate multiple impressions if they see your ad more than once.
