These are average starting points. Your real best time depends on your audience. RedaQuest Analytics shows yours.

Quick answer

Best time to post on LinkedIn, in short.

As a general starting point, LinkedIn does best on weekday mornings during business hours, when people check in before and between meetings. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday tend to be the strongest days. These are averages though, not a rule. The best time to post is whenever your audience is online, and that depends on your industry and where they work. Use these as a baseline, then refine with your own data.

How it works

How to find your best time to post on LinkedIn.

Start with the weekday morning window.

Schedule your first LinkedIn posts for mid-morning on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, then watch how they perform.

Check your LinkedIn analytics.

Open your page or profile analytics and look at when your followers are active and which posts earned the most engagement.

Adjust to your own audience.

Shift your posting times toward the hours your audience actually responds. RedaQuest can find these times and schedule for you automatically.

Why timing matters

LinkedIn rewards posts that catch the first hour.

LinkedIn shows your post to a small group first, then reaches further if that group engages quickly. Post when your audience is online and you give the post a real chance to spread. Post when they're offline and even strong content can stall before anyone sees it.

Know your audience

B2B hours, not consumer hours.

LinkedIn is a workday network. Most people scroll it between tasks, not late at night. If you sell to other businesses, weekday mornings and lunch breaks are where attention lives. If your audience works across time zones, post toward the morning of the region that matters most, then check whether a second post later in the day helps you reach the rest.
