Where these hours come from

They are rules of thumb: the patterns that engagement studies across social platforms keep finding, such as lunch and evening peaks for leisure apps and work hours for professional networks. They are a starting point, not a promise.

Your audience is the real answer. Post at two or three of these slots for a few weeks, compare the results, then keep the hours that work. Your platform’s own analytics show when your followers are online.

Plan the week once. Post every day.

Create a workspace in a minute, connect your channels and your agent, and let the schedule keep the rhythm.
