Frequently asked questions
Are these times guaranteed to work?
These are data-backed general guidelines based on aggregated platform usage. Your actual best time depends on your specific audience. Use these as a starting point, then check your platform analytics after 20 posts for your personalized peak times.
Should I post at the exact same time every day?
Consistency helps, but exact minute precision is not necessary. Posting within a 30-minute window of your peak time is fine. What matters more is posting consistently on the same days each week.
Do these times account for daylight saving?
The timezone selector accounts for standard time. During daylight saving periods, your audience's active hours may shift by an hour. Check your analytics during DST transitions and adjust accordingly.
