How Can I See My Total Impressions on Twitter (X)?

If you want to enable monetization on Twitter (X), there’s one requirement that matters more than almost anything else:
5 million impressions in the last 3 months.

That sounds simple, until you actually try to check your total impressions.

I wanted to know whether I was already close to that number. If I had 5 million impressions, buying a blue tick would make sense immediately. But if I were far away, I didn’t want to spend money just for a small chance.

That’s where the problem started.

Why It’s Hard to See Your Total Impressions on Twitter

Twitter does show analytics, but full access is mostly tied to Premium.

Is it worth buying it?

Without Premium:

You can see limited post-level stats
You can’t easily calculate your total impressions for the last 3 months
There’s no clear “you’re at X / 5,000,000” overview

So you’re forced into a risky decision:

Buy Premium first, then check your impressions
Or stay blind and guess where you stand

I didn’t want to do either.

What “Total Impressions” Really Means for Monetization

Before going further, this part matters.

For monetization eligibility:

It’s organic impressions
It’s total impressions across all posts
It’s measured over the last 3 months, not the lifetime

One viral tweet isn’t enough. You need a consistent reach across weeks.

So the real question became:

“How can I see my total impressions clearly, without already paying for Premium?”

The Solution I Used: Circleboom Twitter (No Premium Needed)

That’s when I used Circleboom Twitter.

Circleboom Twitter is an official X Enterprise Customer, and it gives you access to detailed Twitter analytics without requiring a Premium subscription.

Most importantly for me:

It shows total impressions
It shows post-level impression data
It works even if you don’t have a blue tick
It pulls the same core analytics you’d expect from Twitter itself

With just a few clicks, I finally got a clear answer.

How to See Your Total Impressions on Twitter (Step by Step)

Here’s exactly how I checked my total impressions using Circleboom Twitter:

Step 1: Log in to Circleboom Twitter

Open the Analytics section. From the dashboard, go to Post Analytics.

Step 2: View your total impressions

You’ll see:

Total impressions for the selected period
Engagement metrics
Performance trends over time

At this point, I finally had a clear number—no guessing, no Premium required.

Going Deeper: Seeing Impressions for Every Tweet

Seeing the total number is helpful, but Circleboom Twitter goes further.

It also shows:

Impressions for each individual tweet
Engagement details (likes, replies, retweets)
Sorting options (for example, highest impressions first)

This is where things get really useful.

By sorting my tweets by impressions, I could instantly see:

Which tweets performed best
Which formats worked
Which topics consistently brought reach

Instead of guessing what to post next, I had real data.

The Reality Check: I Wasn’t at 5 Million Yet

After checking my total impressions, I saw that I wasn’t at 5 million.

At first, that was disappointing, but it was also clarifying.

Now I knew:

Buying Premium right now wouldn’t unlock monetization
What I actually needed was an impressions growth plan

And instead of starting from scratch, I decided to scale what already worked.

How I Increased Impressions: Auto-Retweeting My Best Tweets

One thing became obvious from the analytics:
Some tweets were already proven winners.

So instead of constantly creating new content, I focused on redistribution.

With Circleboom Twitter, you can:

Identify your highest-impression tweets
Automatically retweet them at scheduled intervals
Bring them back in front of:
- New followers
- Different time zones
- Different daily activity cycles

This alone can significantly increase total impressions over time.

How to Set Auto-Retweets (Step by Step)

Here’s how I set it up:

Step #1: Navigate to the Analytics Menu
From the left-hand menu, click on the "Analytics" tab, then select "Post Analytics" from the dropdown.

Within Post Analytics, select the "Post Engagement Analytics" option.

Circleboom will display a detailed breakdown of your posts, including metrics like impressions, likes, retweets, replies, and more.

Step #2: Sort by Impressions
Locate the "Impressions" column in the content list.

Click on the column heading, and Circleboom will automatically arrange your tweets from the highest to the lowest number of impressions.

Step #3: Once you’ve found your old tweets, Circleboom offers several tools to make the most of them; choose which you want to use:

🟢 Reschedule Popular Tweets: Found a tweet that’s still relevant or hilarious but didn’t get the engagement it deserved? With Circleboom, you can reschedule it to repost it at a better time.

Maybe your audience wasn’t active when you first tweeted it, or perhaps it just got lost in the noise. Rescheduling ensures your best content gets a second chance to shine.

🔵 Refresh Content with AI: Some of your old tweets might feel outdated or could use a fresh twist. Circleboom’s AI-powered tweet generator can help you rewrite or improve them.

Whether you want to update the language, add a modern twist, or make it more engaging, the AI feature has got you covered.

🟡 Set Auto-Retweets: If you’ve got evergreen tweets that are still relevant, why not let them work for you on autopilot?

Circleboom’s auto-retweet feature allows you to automatically retweet your best-performing content at regular intervals. This is perfect for driving consistent engagement without lifting a finger.

Extra Tips to Reach 5 Million Impressions Faster

Beyond auto-retweets, these strategies help accelerate growth:

Reuse high-performing hooks
Post consistently (even short text posts matter)
Focus on topics that already earned impressions
Post when your audience is most active
Think in series content, not one-off tweets

Impressions are cumulative. Small wins add up fast when distribution is consistent.

Final Thoughts: Check First, Then Decide

If you’re aiming for Twitter monetization, don’t buy Premium just to “see if you qualify.”

First:

Check your real total impressions
Understand how far you are from 5 million
Build a plan to close the gap

Using Circleboom Twitter allowed me to stop guessing, see the exact numbers, and focus on increasing impressions strategically, before spending any money.

Once you know where you stand, every next step becomes much easier to decide.
