Best-time recommendations explained

Understand how TimeToPost uses account history for private recommendations and public aggregate data for free timing guides.

Two kinds of timing data

Inside a connected account, TimeToPost recommends posting windows from that account's own engagement history when enough data is available.

Public best-time pages and free tools use aggregate curves and may use editorial baselines where platform data is limited. Treat those as planning aids, not a guarantee.

How to use a recommendation

Best-time slots work best as a calendar skeleton.

  1. Open best-time recommendations for the account or platform.
  2. Pick a high-confidence slot that matches the post format.
  3. Spread posts across days instead of clustering every draft into one peak hour.
  4. Review analytics after publishing and let the recommendation improve as more account history arrives.
