Tips for posting on Facebook

  • Early afternoon catches the post-lunch scroll on both desktop and mobile.
  • Native photos and video tend to out-reach plain links — pair good timing with the right format.
  • Page reach is limited, so timing helps but consistency and engagement matter more.

These windows are a benchmark starting point. Pair them with the full best-time overview for every platform, then test against your own analytics.
