Top Times to Post Out

There are many articles out there claiming the 'best times' to post out, however in reality these times vary greatly by industry and by social platform. 

This is why we break this down for you, showing you the best overall times but also the best times for each day of the week across each social network.

How we work this out

We score each post you send out based on comments, shares and likes, with comments achieving a higher score than likes (don't worry this is done automatically for you!).

Once this is calculated we put this into a percentage for you to make it really easy for you to find the optimum time to post out on each day. This helps normalise the data, making a post with 5,000 interactions comparable with one with just 50.

You are able to change this chart within the report, to look at the top times per engagement type using the drop-down menu on the right. Above that, you can also hop into different networks to see what the best times are for specific metrics and channels, without having to build multiple reports.

How to use this chart

Looking at the image above we can see that over the course of the week Wednesday at 9 AM is the best time/day combo. However, on a Friday, the best time is 12 PM. These figures are updated continuously, so you are provided with the most up-to-date information for your scheduling.
