REACH

Paid reach and organic reach are metrics used to measure the reach of a post, story, or advertisement on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

Paid reach refers to the number of people who have seen a paid advertisement. This metric is a way to measure how many people have been exposed to an advertisement, regardless of whether they engaged with it or not. It can help businesses and advertisers understand the reach of their paid campaigns, and whether they are reaching their target audience.

Organic reach refers to the number of people who have seen a post or story without any paid promotion. Organic reach is a way to measure the reach of a post or story that is not promoted through paid advertising. It can help businesses and advertisers understand the reach of their organic content and how it performs without any paid promotion.

It is important to note that paid reach and organic reach are different metrics, paid reach tells you about the reach of the paid promotion campaign, while organic reach tells you about the reach of the content without any paid promotion.

Both metrics can be useful for businesses and advertisers to understand the reach and visibility of their content, and to make decisions about their advertising and content strategy.
