Unique Reach Overlap reports show overlap, which is how many unique users saw or clicked on ads across a given pair of dimensions, such as Country and Advertiser. You can also use overlap reports for exclusive reach and duplicate reach, which tell you about unique reach for one particular dimension.
How you can use overlap data
When users see your ads on multiple sites, it’s called overlap. If your campaign goal is to build brand awareness, you could share your message to your users across all targeted sites, day after day. If you want to maximize your audience reach, you could reduce the amount of overlap between sites. With overlap reports, you can make informed decisions on how best to maximize your media spend across multiple sites.
