Frequency

Also called: Posting frequency

How often an account posts, or, in advertising, how many times on average each person sees the same ad.

For posting, consistency matters more than volume. Three posts a week, every week, usually does better than seven one week and none the next, and it's easier to keep up.

In ads, frequency is impressions divided by reach. A frequency of 3 means each person saw the ad three times on average; much higher and people start to tire of it.
