The Best Times to Post
Do your post times actually matter?
Heck yes, they do.
If you’re able to dial in your post times, you’ll ultimately get more likes, shares, comments, clicks, swipes, etc. And we all want those, right?
The folks at Hootsuite used data from Unmetric to compile data from over 300 brands in the B2B and B2C industries.
Here’s what they found out:
The best times to post on Facebook:
- B2B brands: The best time to post on Facebook is between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
- B2C brands: The best time to post on Facebook is 12 p.m. EST on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
Keep in mind:
- 74% of Facebook users visit the site every day—more than any other social network
- 88% of Facebook users access the site via mobile device
