Quick answer

Best times to post, in short.

As a general starting point, mid-morning and early evening on weekdays tend to work across most platforms, because that's when people check their feeds. But these are averages. The best time to post is whenever your audience is online, and that's specific to you. Use the tool above for a per-platform starting point, then refine with your own data.

  • Instagram. Weekday mornings and lunch breaks.
  • TikTok. Later in the day and evenings.
  • Facebook. Early to mid weekday.
  • LinkedIn. Weekday mornings, business hours.

How it works

How to find your best time to post.

Pick your platform.

Choose the network you post on, since the best times differ for each one.

Start with the averages.

Use the per-platform starting points as a baseline for your first posts.

Refine with your own data.

Watch when your audience actually engages and adjust. RedaQuest can do this for you automatically.

Why timing matters

Right content, wrong time, no reach.

Posting when your audience is asleep is the easiest way to waste good content. Timing won't fix a weak post, but it gives a good one its best shot.

The real answer: your audience

Averages get you started. Your data wins.

Generic charts are a guess. RedaQuest watches when your audience actually engages and tells you your best times, then schedules your posts to hit them automatically. No more guessing from a blog chart.
