  1. Lift measurement using your first-party data hosted within third-party data environments, and using the Facebook lift platform for setup.
  2. Lift measurement for using grocery and retailer transaction data. It’s primarily for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands.

We can also help you understand the demographics — age, gender, and location — of your audience so you can optimize your strategy for future campaigns.

For measuring Audience Outcomes, you should focus on the metrics Reach and Frequency in your ad reports. Reach is the number of people who saw your ads at least once, which is different from impressions, which may include multiple views of your ads by the same people. Frequency is the average number of times each person saw your ad.

These results can help you understand who you’re reaching and how often. This information, combined with other tests such as Brand or Conversion Lift, can help you determine your optimal reach and frequency that’s required to drive your business goals.

How it works

Once your campaign is running, you can access these metrics any time through ads reporting in Ads Manager, Power Editor, or via the Ads Insights API. Advertisers can measure and compare audiences reached for online and TV campaigns by working with Facebook partners.

Viewability verification partners Viewability measures how many ad impressions were viewed by your audience and for how long. When combined with reach measurement, viewability can give you a full picture of how your media plan was delivered. You can measure and verify viewability metrics for Facebook and Instagram through select viewability partners.

Our partners can verify ad viewability metrics for video ads on Facebook, offering more advertisers the transparency they need to trust their ad delivery data. These partnerships are part of our continued commitment to enabling Facebook advertising measurement by independent third parties. We worked with third-party verification companies to implement an integration that provides the highest standard of independent verification.
