That&#8217;s a question that&#8217;s been puzzling marketers for quite a while. A recent study conducted by Sprout Social looked at Facebook posting times and expressed the results in Central Time Zone. The results are somewhat surprising, but surprisingly reliable. Here&#8217;s why. We&#8217;ll look at three factors that play a role in when people are most likely to see our posts:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sprout_Social\"><\/span>Sprout Social<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for the best time to post on Facebook, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. Sprout Social, one of the world&#8217;s leading social media management tools, has done extensive research and analyzed over 20,000 customer profiles to identify the best times to post to Facebook. This research shows that posting on Wednesdays at 11AM is the best time to engage with your audience. Compared to other social networks, Facebook peaks in activity around eight a.m. in the audience&#8217;s time zone. Sprout&#8217;s Facebook page insights also reveal that Tuesday through Thursdays are the best days to post to Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to identifying the best time to post on Facebook, RecurPost also allows you to customize your posts and manage your assets. Sprout Social&#8217;s asset library contains media and enables you to customize saved replies and repurpose them to suit your business&#8217; needs. You can also use Sprout Social&#8217;s chatbot tool to stay on top of customer inquiries and queries. This feature is available for both Facebook and Twitter and will speed up your customer response time.<\/p>\n<p>The Sprout Social best time to post on your Facebook page depends on the nature of your business. Whether you run a small, local restaurant, or an international organization, it&#8217;s important to understand the best time to post to Facebook. With 71% of consumers using social media more often than in years past, you&#8217;ll want to meet your customers&#8217; needs on social. By maximizing the power of your posts, you can optimize your marketing efforts to meet their needs. In addition to tracking your engagement and growth, Sprout Social also offers a free 30-day trial of its ViralPost feature.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CoSchedule\"><\/span>CoSchedule<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For B2C businesses, the most effective time to post on Facebook is between 9 and 10 am on weekdays. This is similar to the times found for B2B companies, which receive optimal engagement between 9 am and 12 noon. However, the best time to post on Facebook for education businesses falls somewhere in between. According to a study by CoSchedule, higher education brands should avoid posting during the afternoon and early evening to maximize reach.<\/p>\n<p>Sprout Social and CoSchedule have both done studies to identify the best times to post on Facebook. According to the former, Mondays are ideal posting days. Facebook activity is high during the first half of the week and falls off at the end of the day. Sprout Social also found the best times to post on Facebook, which are between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The best times to post on Facebook are often dependent on your audience&#8217;s activity levels. Media companies, for example, can&#8217;t ignore these changes because they could risk losing engagement with viral stories. Sprout Social recommends posting during the early morning hours, when most Facebook users check their news feeds. On the other hand, CoSchedule recommends post times between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CoSchedules_research\"><\/span>CoSchedule&#8217;s research<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most popular day and time to post on Facebook varies by industry. According to a study by CoSchedule, the best times to post on Facebook are between nine and ten in the morning and between 12 and one pm on a Friday. The study suggests that you post at these times to maximize the reach of your posts. For B2C businesses, however, there are other factors to consider. The best time to post on Facebook depends on the type of product or service you offer.<\/p>\n<p>According to CoSchedule&#8217;s research, B2C brands should post during the mornings, when their target audience is most active. While users of B2B sites generally log on during their free time, B2C businesses should post between 9 AM and 4 PM. Sprout Social&#8217;s data points to noon as the best time to post on Facebook for B2B brands.<\/p>\n<p>For higher education brands, the most popular times to post on Facebook are before class and during breaks between lessons. Sprout Social recommends posting at the same times as the healthcare sector, though its findings are not always supported by the company. This is because higher education users tend to check their news feeds during these hours. As such, higher education brands should post at these times. There are some caveats to keep in mind, however.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z3Tqh1C_Q6A\" width=\"356\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"199\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Best Time to Post on Facebook?
