LinkedIn posting tips
- Weekdays 7 AM–5 PM; weekends empty in the composer table.
- Tue–Thu list a ~9 AM peak. If you only schedule one LinkedIn post a week, put it there first.
- Longer posts usually get more reading time mid-week than Friday afternoon.
- Queue in SocialRobot against these slots; the table does not auto-personalize per company page yet.
Queue LinkedIn for these windows
The composer suggests these hours per platform. Audience-specific Instagram timing lives in analytics and does not auto-fill the queue yet.
