Impressions

What are the Impressions? – Definition

Impressions represent the number of times a given page is displayed in organic or paid search results. What’s important, impressions don’t necessarily mean that the user clicked and visited the page. The impression is counted every time the page appears in the search results when the user types a given search query. The URL of the link registers an impression when users open in Google a page with this result; even if this result was not scrolled down so that users can actually see it.
