Explanation: The correct answer is The number of times an ad is shown divided by the total number of impressions. In the context of Microsoft Advertising Shopping campaigns, impression share refers to the proportion of times that an advertiser’s ads are displayed to users searching for relevant products, compared to the total number of times that these ads could have been shown. Essentially, it measures the extent to which an advertiser’s ads are capturing available impressions in the auction marketplace. By calculating impression share, advertisers can gain insights into the competitiveness and visibility of their ads within their target audience segments. A higher impression share indicates that an advertiser’s ads are being shown more frequently, potentially leading to increased brand exposure and engagement opportunities. Conversely, a lower impression share suggests that there may be opportunities to improve ad visibility and reach through adjustments to bidding strategies, budget allocation, or campaign targeting. Therefore, understanding how impression share is defined and calculated is essential for advertisers to assess the performance and effectiveness of their Microsoft Advertising Shopping campaigns and make informed decisions to optimize their ad presence and maximize their impact within the marketplace.
