You should track impressions in any campaign, whatever the initial objective, but it is especially important in brand awareness campaigns. This metric will tell you how many people have actually seen your ad, whether or not they bought from you.
You can prioritise impressions by creating a cost-per-thousand-impressionscampaign, which means that you will pay for the number of impressions that your ad received rather than the number of clicks.
