Facebook posting tips
Mornings drive reach on Facebook
Facebook engagement peaks between 9 AM and 1 PM on weekdays. Early morning posts catch people during their commute and lunch breaks.
Video content gets priority
Facebook's algorithm prioritizes native video and Reels. A video post typically gets 2-3x more organic reach than a link or photo post.
Weekends need a different strategy
Weekend engagement is lower but competition is also lower. If you post on Saturdays, aim for late morning (10-12 PM).
Groups have different peak times
Facebook Group engagement peaks in the evenings (6-9 PM) when people are relaxing at home — different from Page content.
