Just because your ad is served on the web or in an app, doesn’t mean it will be seen. Viewability tells you whether an ad had the chance to be seen or not.
What is viewability?
Viewability is a measure of whether or not an ad had a chance to be seen by a user. It helps marketers by providing metrics on the number of times their ads actually appear in front of users.
