Views is a metric in Google Analytics 4 that tracks the number of times a particular page or screen is viewed by a user on your website or app.
With Databox you can track all your metrics from various data sources in one place.
Views refer to the number of times a specific piece of content (especially a video) or webpage has been accessed or viewed by users.
For example, the Views metric in Google Analytics 4 measures the number of times a specific page or screen has been viewed during a given time period. For videos, Views per unique viewer measures the number of times a specific user has viewed your video.
Views play a crucial role in understanding the popularity and reach of content, as well as providing insights into user engagement. They can be used to track user engagement with specific pages or screens, identify popular content, and evaluate the effectiveness of marketing campaigns or website changes.
A good number of content views to aim for largely depends on your benchmark data, content type, and your goals.
A good number of website views is between 6.5k and 7.5k, according to our benchmark data from the GA4 Benchmark Group for all companies.
For Google My Business profiles, a good number of views is around 1.5k (including both Google Search and Google Maps during the specified Date Range), according to Google My Business Benchmark Group for all companies.
If you’re looking for YouTube benchmarks, a good number of views is around 1500 to 3000 views for all companies.

Page views and impressions are not the same metric, although they’re related, and you might want to track your impression-to-view ratio, especially for videos.
An impression occurs when an ad is displayed on a webpage, mobile app, or any digital platform. It represents the number of times an ad is shown to users, regardless of whether they interact with it. For example, if a video ad is displayed on a user’s feed on social media, it may gain an impression, but it won’t gain a view unless the user actually watches the video for a certain amount of time.
Impressions and views don’t involve user interaction with the content, but clicks do. The user might click on an ad, a hyperlink on a page, or a web page title in SERPs. Tracking these three metrics is particularly useful in ad campaigns, where analyzing the impressions, views, and clicks helps you refine and better target your ads.
With Databox, you can track views, impressions, clicks, or any custom metric and access important data in one streamlined dashboard, so that you can fully understand your performance and progress towards your business goals.
