What does it all mean?
• Posts at 3 p.m. Wednesday to get the most comment, but results will vary• For active sites, you risk cannibalizing engagement on your page if you post more often than every 80 minutes – another argument for segmentation• You should post at least once a day• Be mindful of peak usage times (weekdays, 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., but don’t be controlled by it• Off-peak times represent opportunity; less noise • Analyze activity on your Facebook page and plan accordingly; stats are generalized • Don’t ignore evenings and weekends; users have more leisure time and may be more engaged with your message
