Changes to Facebook’s impression reporting for ads that were initially announced in August have begun making their way to Ads Manager.

The social network announced in August that it would begin reporting gross impressions—total billable and nonbillable impressions, such as those from non-human bot traffic—as well as ads that auto-refresh.

Reader Chris Ruberg, manager of social marketing operations for Affinitiv, shared the Ads Manager screenshots below with Social Pro Daily.
