The metrics that stall your growth aren’t always the ones flashing red ⚡⚡
They’re the silent ones 🤫🤫
The ones that look “fine” on the surface until your sales start slipping and your reach starts shrinking.
Here’s the metric that tells you the truth 👇
Look at your First-Time Impression Ratio.
It matters more than most brands realize.
Because when this number drops, especially alongside declining ad performance, it’s a major red flag.
Your audience is burning out🔥
Translation?
➡️ You’re showing ads to the same people, over… and over… and over.
Eventually, they stop clicking. Stop converting. Stop caring.
And you’re left wondering:
“Why are results slowing down when the campaign used to work so well?”
The answer is often right here.
A shrinking First-Time Impression Ratio usually means:
⚠️ You’re not reaching enough new people
⚠️ Your audience is too narrow (or exhausted)
⚠️ You’re paying to speak to people who’ve already said “not now”
But when this number stays healthy?
✅ Your targeting is fresh
✅ Your reach is expanding
✅ Your ads are driving real, sustainable growth, not just retargeting the same pool
The fix?
Sometimes it’s broader targeting, or a a creative shift.
Sometimes… it’s spotting the issue before it costs you thousands!
This is why a real Meta ad audit matters.
Because metrics like this, silent, invisible, and expensive, don’t show up unless you’re looking for them.
I offer two complimentary Meta ad audits per month for ecommerce brands ready to plug the slow leaks and scale by doing the right thing.
