Here are their top tips for reaching your audience when they’re most active.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Instagram: Early mornings are best for brands, evenings for personal accounts</strong> </h3> <p>Eileen Kwok, Social and Influencer Marketing Strategist at Hootsuite, notes that the type of account you manage will determine the right approach:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>If you’re managing a brand account, I think it’s always good to post on Instagram early in the day. However, I find that when it comes to personal accounts, your own Instagram account for example, most people prefer to post at night time — 8 or 9 p.m.</p> </blockquote> <p>The team also believes that evening scrolling habits can be more beneficial for certain industries, such as real estate, retail, and entertainment:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>People tend to house hunt, shop, and watch videos later in the day.</p> </blockquote> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Facebook: Focus on time zones</strong> </h3> <p>Trish Riswick, Social Media Marketing Team Lead at Hootsuite, emphasizes the importance of aligning posts with your audience’s time zone:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>Our biggest piece of advice is always to target the time zone where your audience is. For us, North America and the U.K. are our primary targets. If we’re posting things at 3 p.m. PST, that’s 10 p.m. in the U.K. We have to be a bit more morning-focused to make sure we’re reaching our U.K. audience.</p> </blockquote> <p>That said, the nature of Facebook gives brands a lot of flexibility:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>The good news is that almost half of all users check Facebook multiple times a day, and they spend longer on this social media platform than many others.</p> </blockquote> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. LinkedIn: Mornings are for reads, afternoons for videos</strong> </h3> <p>For LinkedIn, Trish suggests tailoring your content type to different times of the day:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>We tend to post more written content in the morning and videos in the afternoon.</p> </blockquote> <p>She also highlights the evolving audience on the platform:</p> <div class="hs-blockquote"> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-default"> <p>You would think that early mornings would tend to do better on LinkedIn, but we’ve found that our afternoon posts do sometimes blow up. While it used to be primarily professionals who are up and scrolling at 5 a.m., LinkedIn now has a lot of young professionals who are browsing in their leisurely time, too.</p> <footer class="flex flex-row items-center justify-end gap-4"> <picture decoding="async" class="rounded-full h-16 w-16 my-0 border-2 border-lake" loading="lazy"> <source type="image/webp" srcset="https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish.jpeg.webp 800w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-310x310.jpeg.webp 310w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-620x620.jpeg.webp 620w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-150x150.jpeg.webp 150w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-768x768.jpeg.webp 768w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-556x556.jpeg.webp 556w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"/> <img decoding="async" width="800" height="800" src="https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish.jpeg" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish.jpeg 800w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-310x310.jpeg 310w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-620x620.jpeg 620w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-768x768.jpeg 768w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-556x556.jpeg 556w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"/> </picture> <cite class="not-italic !text-left flex flex-col"> <span class="text-2xl font-bold"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/trish-riswick-779428108/">Trish Riswick</a> </span> <span class="text-sm font-thin">Social Marketing Team Lead at Hootsuite </span> </cite> </footer> </blockquote> </div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. X (Twitter): Timing is key for trends and news</strong> </h3> <p>The recency-focused nature of X means that mornings can often be the best time to post. As Trish notes:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>We recently ran a poll that suggested we should be posting more readable things in the morning when people are just getting ready for work or on their lunch break.</p> </blockquote> <p>However, keeping an eye on real-world events is crucial for X’s fast-paced environment. Eileen says:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>It’s smart to keep in mind what’s going on in the world as a basis of when you should be posting. For example, if it’s the Super Bowl and social media will be really busy with content, maybe you don’t want to post on that specific time or even on that day of the week because you will get less engagement.</p> </blockquote> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. TikTok: Patience pays off</strong> </h3> <p>TikTok’s algorithm takes some time time to deliver content to the right feeds, which means patience is key. Here’s Eileen’s advice on managing expectations:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>Don’t get discouraged if your post doesn’t garner a lot of views in the first couple of hours it’s posted. TikTok videos tend to need 24 hours to be fully pushed out, so we recommend keeping the post out even if it doesn’t receive high engagement right off the bat.</p> </blockquote> <p>Trish adds that timing your posts earlier than you’d expect can help:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>Sometimes TikTok can take a little bit to actually get your video out because it’s trying to figure out what your video is, whose algorithm it should fall on, that kind of stuff.</p> </blockquote> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. Pinterest: Focus on SEO over timing</strong> </h3> <p>Unlike other platforms, Pinterest prioritizes content through searchability rather than recency. Eileen’s advice is to focus on optimizing your posts for search:</p> <div class="hs-blockquote"> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-default"> <p>In my experience, the platform prioritizes your SEO strategy over the time you post. If you’re inputting the right keywords in your caption and optimizing your profile, your posts will get prioritized by the algorithm.</p> <footer class="flex flex-row items-center justify-end gap-4"> <picture decoding="async" class="rounded-full h-16 w-16 my-0 border-2 border-lake" loading="lazy"> <source type="image/webp" srcset="https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Eileen-Kwok.png.webp 552w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Eileen-Kwok-310x308.png.webp 310w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Eileen-Kwok-150x150.png.webp 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px"/> <img decoding="async" width="552" height="548" src="https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Eileen-Kwok.png" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Eileen-Kwok.png 552w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Eileen-Kwok-310x308.png 310w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Eileen-Kwok-150x150.png 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px"/> </picture> <cite class="not-italic !text-left flex flex-col"> <span class="text-2xl font-bold"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/eileen-kwok/">Eileen Kwok</a> </span> <span class="text-sm font-thin">Social and Influencer Marketing Strategist at Hootsuite </span> </cite> </footer> </blockquote> </div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="What_determines_your_best_time_to_post">What determines your best time to post?</span></h2> <p>Finding the best time to post to social media isn’t just about picking a random time and hoping for the best. It’s a blend of art and science, influenced by a variety of factors that shape your audience’s online behavior.</p> <p>Let’s dive into what makes the timing tick.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Your unique audience</strong></h3> <p>Your audience isn’t just a statistic; <strong>they’re real people with their own quirks and habits. </strong>Understanding who they are is the first step to figuring out when they’re most likely to be scrolling through their feeds.</p> <p>When determining your personal best time of day to post on social media,<strong> think about your audience’s demographics (age, gender, location, interests), as well as their social media habits.</strong></p> <p>Are they night owls or early birds? Do they work 9-to-5 jobs or have flexible schedules? Knowing these details can give you clues about when they’re most active online.</p> <p>But don’t stop there — use analytics tools provided by social media platforms to dig deeper.</p> <p><strong>Look for patterns in when your audience is most engaged.</strong> Maybe they’re more active on weekdays during lunch breaks or evenings after dinner.</p> <p>By tapping into these insights, you can tailor your social media calendar to catch their attention at peak engagement times.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Your industry</strong></h3> <p>Different industries have different rhythms when it comes to social media activity. <strong>What works for a fashion brand might not be the best social marketing strategy for a tech startup.</strong></p> <p>Take a moment to <strong>consider the nature of your business and how your audience interacts with similar businesses.</strong></p> <p>For example, if you’re in the fitness industry, you might find that your followers are most active in the early morning or late afternoon when they’re squeezing in workouts.</p> <p>On the other hand, if you’re in the entertainment industry, evenings and weekends might be peak times for the most engagement when people are winding down and looking for something to do.</p> <p>It’s worth keeping an ear to the ground in your industry, whether you learn tactics worth emulating, or just spot some pitfalls to avoid. (You might even consider adding publishing schedules to your ongoing<a href="https://blog.hootsuite.com/social-listening-business/"> social listening</a> endeavors.)</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. The competition</strong></h3> <p><strong>Keep an eye on what your competitors are doing, too.</strong> While you don’t want to copy them outright, monitoring their posting schedules can give you insights into when your shared audience is most active.</p> <p>Take a survey of their high-performing social media posts (or even do a full<a href="https://blog.hootsuite.com/competitive-analysis-on-social-media/"> social competitive analysis</a>) and see what patterns crop up, or perhaps reverse-engineer your competitors’ strategies.</p> <p>Here at Hootsuite, for instance, we’ve learned to avoid publishing on the hour, because that’s when a lot of brands post.</p> <p>Instead, we post on the :15 or :45 mark to give our social media content a little breathing room.</p> <p>Hootsuite’s <strong>industry benchmarking tool </strong>within Analytics shows you how you stack up to the competition. It’ll even give you personalized tips for how to gain an edge against the leaders in your industry.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="620" height="585" src="https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/competitor-benchmarking-data-in-hootsuite-for-link-620x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-438440" srcset="https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/competitor-benchmarking-data-in-hootsuite-for-link-620x585.png 620w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/competitor-benchmarking-data-in-hootsuite-for-link-310x293.png 310w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/competitor-benchmarking-data-in-hootsuite-for-link-768x725.png 768w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/competitor-benchmarking-data-in-hootsuite-for-link-1536x1451.png 1536w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/competitor-benchmarking-data-in-hootsuite-for-link.png 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px"></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Time zones</strong></h3> <p>Understanding your target audience’s time zones is crucial for ensuring that your posts reach them when they’re most likely to be online.</p> <p><strong>If your followers are scattered across the globe, you’ll need to consider the different time zones they live within.</strong></p> <p>For example, if you’re based in Vancouver but have followers in New York, London, and Tokyo, posting at 9:00 AM local time might mean reaching your East Coast audience bright and early, but missing out on social media engagement from your international followers who are fast asleep.</p> <p>At Hootsuite, our channels strive to catch people across North America (PST through EST) by posting in the morning or early afternoon, Pacific Time.</p> <p>For channels that also want to catch the UK, the earlier in the morning, the better.</p> <p>Meanwhile, brands with a substantial audience in a specific region <strong>might consider creating a separate handle for that audience</strong>. (This may have the added benefit of allowing you to post in a target language, too.)</p> <p>To accommodate everyone, you’ll need to <strong>find a balance that maximizes visibility across multiple time zones.</strong></p> <p>This might involve scheduling posts at different times throughout the day or using social media management tools that allow you to schedule posts in advance and target specific time zones.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. Platform algorithms</strong></h3> <p>Social media platforms are<a href="https://blog.hootsuite.com/social-media-algorithm/"> constantly tweaking their algorithms</a> to deliver the best possible experience for users. While the specifics are often shrouded in mystery, one thing’s for sure: timing matters. <strong>Social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter reward content that generates engagement shortly after it’s posted.</strong> That means if you want your post to get maximum visibility, you’ll need to time it just right.</p> <p><strong>Pay attention to when your audience is most active and aim to publish during those peak periods. But don’t forget about the lifespan of your content either.</strong></p> <p>While some posts might have immediate impact, others — like evergreen content — can continue to attract engagement over time. <strong>Experiment with different posting times and track the results</strong> to find what works best for your audience and content strategy.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. Current events and trends</strong></h3> <p>Social media is a dynamic landscape, shaped by current events, holidays, and trends. Paying attention to what’s happening in the world can help you capitalize on timely opportunities to connect with your audience.</p> <p>Is there a big industry conference happening? A national holiday or observance? A viral meme or trending topic? <strong>Incorporating these events into your posting schedule can help your content feel relevant and timely</strong>, increasing the likelihood of engagement.</p> <p>Just be mindful of the context and tone of your posts — <strong>what might be appropriate for one event could be off-putting for another.</strong> Keep your finger on the pulse of what’s happening and be ready to adapt your strategy accordingly.</p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/pchmidtt/">Paige Schmidt</a>, Hootsuite’s Social Engagement Coordinator, has noticed that events and trends are big in 2025.<em> “There’s a growing demand for relevant and timely content that aligns with pop culture events such as sports events, award shows, and music/movie releases. Brands that plan content around these events or mark them for scheduling stand to capture audience attention effectively,”</em> she says.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>7. Experimentation and analysis</strong></h3> <p>At the end of the day,<strong> there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for the perfect posting time.</strong> What works for one brand might not work for another. That’s why it’s essential to <strong>approach your posting strategy with a spirit of experimentation and a willingness to learn.</strong></p> <p>Test different posting times, frequencies, and types of content to see what resonates most with your audience.</p> <p>Use analytics tools to track key metrics like engagement, reach, and click-through rates, and <strong>use that data to refine your approach over time.</strong></p> <p>You should also take a look at your top-performing posts from the past, and see what can be mimicked or improved upon there. Take a close look at posts that did the best in terms of:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Awareness (i.e., posts that have high impressions)</li> <li>Engagement (i.e., posts that earned the highest engagement rates)</li> <li>Sales/Traffic (i.e.,posts that attracted a lot of clicks)</li> </ul> <p>Next, take a look at what time of day or week you posted successful content, and see what kind of patterns emerge.</p> <p><strong>Pro tip:</strong><a href="https://www.hootsuite.com/platform/analytics"><strong> </strong>Hootsuite Analytics’ Best Time to Publish feature</a> pulls your unique posting history automatically, without any data-crunching, and suggests times to post in order to maximize your ROI.</p> <p>Remember, social media is a constantly evolving landscape, so be prepared to adapt and iterate as you go.</p> <div class="hs-blockquote"> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-default"> <p>It can be gutting when you’ve worked hard on a post and it doesn’t land. My best piece of advice is to be patient. Sometimes the algorithm needs more time to place your content and sometimes your audience needs more time to warm up to the type of content you’re creating. Consistency is key, so keep trying!</p> <footer class="flex flex-row items-center justify-end gap-4"> <picture decoding="async" class="rounded-full h-16 w-16 my-0 border-2 border-lake" loading="lazy"> <source type="image/webp" srcset="https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish.jpeg.webp 800w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-310x310.jpeg.webp 310w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-620x620.jpeg.webp 620w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-150x150.jpeg.webp 150w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-768x768.jpeg.webp 768w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-556x556.jpeg.webp 556w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"/> <img decoding="async" width="800" height="800" src="https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish.jpeg" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish.jpeg 800w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-310x310.jpeg 310w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-620x620.jpeg 620w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-768x768.jpeg 768w, https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Trish-556x556.jpeg 556w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"/> </picture> <cite class="not-italic !text-left flex flex-col"> <span class="text-2xl font-bold">Trish Riswick </span> <span class="text-sm font-thin">Social Marketing Team Lead at Hootsuite </span> </cite> </footer> </blockquote> </div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="How_to_find_your_unique_best_posting_times_with_Hootsuite"><a id="post-465690-_u3q9ame9lfwk"></a>How to find your unique best posting times with Hootsuite</span></h2> <p>Gone are the days of blindly tossing content into the digital ether and hoping for the best.
