Impressions
An impression is the number of times an ad or promoted post (such as a boosted post on Facebook) is shown on a social platform.
Reach
Reach is the full number of users who have been exposed to your content and posts. Reach is very similar to impressions, except this number includes non-promoted posts.
Organic Reach
Organic reach is the number of times your post naturally appeared to a user on their feed, not through a social ad or promoted post.
CTR

CPC
A cost per click is how much each click costs the brand when consumers click on an ad.
Conversion
A conversion is when a consumer takes a desirable action, such as subscribing to a newsletter, buying a product, or downloading an ebook.
ROI
Regarding social media, a return on investment is the value of what you got in return for your marketing strategy.
Targeting
Targeting is the specifics behind the audience you are hoping to reach with your social ads.
