Inputs
Days to post
These are practical defaults based on common LinkedIn usage patterns (Tue–Thu mornings tend to be strong). The best schedule is the one you can stick to and test weekly.
Preset notes
Standard (2 slots): Great default for most B2B audiences. Use Tue–Thu if you want the highest baseline.
Start with one preset for 2–4 weeks, then compare engagement rate and saves by format.

FAQ
What is the best time to post on LinkedIn?
It depends on your audience and timezone. As a baseline, Tuesday to Thursday mornings in the audience timezone often perform well. The best approach is to pick a schedule you can repeat and test week over week.
Does time zone matter on LinkedIn?
Yes. If your audience is mostly in one region, posting during their business hours increases the chance they see and engage with your post.
How often should I post on LinkedIn?
Consistency beats volume. 1–3 times per week is enough for most people. If you post daily, keep quality high and reuse frameworks.
Is there a single best day to post?
Tuesday to Thursday are often strong. Mondays can work for weekly planning content; Fridays can work for lighter posts. Weekend performance depends heavily on niche.
