# Why it is recommended to set the counter time frame to 1?

## Introduction
To ensure the **Visitor Counter** displays effectively and provides timely information, it’s important to configure the **Minimum Visitors To Show The Counter** setting. This determines when the counter appears on your product pages and helps maximize its impact on potential buyers.

## **Why Set the Minimum Visitors to 1?**
1. **Immediate Visibility**
* Setting the value to 1 ensures the counter appears as soon as at least one visitor interacts with the product.
* This allows you to display real-time visitor activity without waiting for multiple visitors.
2. **Enhanced User Experience**
* If a higher value is set (e.g., 3), the counter will only appear after that many visitors have visited the product page.
* By setting it to 1, even a single visitor triggers the counter, providing instant feedback to potential buyers and creating urgency.

## **How to Adjust the Setting**
1. Go to the **App Dashboard**.
2. Navigate to **Counter Settings → Appearance Rule**.
3. Set **“Minimum Visitors To Show The Counter”** to **1**. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/f/8/4/1/f8416cba63cde000/image_1t8c1ml.png =1000x356)
