What's a good Ad Fatigue Score?

A good Ad Fatigue Score for a local business is 3 or lower. Composite score indicating how fatigued the audience is with current creatives (frequency-based). An excellent Ad Fatigue Score — the top tier Karbon Agency grades client campaigns against — is 1.50 or lower, while 5 marks the minimum acceptable tier.

Why Ad Fatigue Score matters

Fatigued ads waste money and annoy potential customers. Rising fatigue scores signal it is time to rotate creatives before performance collapses.
