Best times to post on social [INFOGRAPHIC]

What are the best times to post on each social media channel in 2023?

It’s no secret that social media has become part of modern life, logging into your favourite platform has become a daily routine.

With so much activity, it can be challenging for businesses to know when the best time is to post.

Why is timing important for social media marketing?

When posting on socials you want as many people as possible (your audience) to see it.

The algorithms prioritize engagement, so content that gets attention is usually shown to more users and posting when you know your audience is active will boost your algorithm.

Posting at the right time may help you increase that reach.

Giraffe social media has shared their infographic of the best timings to post on each platform:

Now, do we think you should follow this?

It all depends on your audience; you should post when your audience is active the most, you can find this on each platform.

For example; If you want to see when your audience is active on Instagram you just need to head to your Profile and click on ‘Insights’, once it opens, scroll down to ‘Audience’ and press ‘See more’. Scroll down to ‘followers’ and you’ll see the day at the top and the times people are online.

Hopefully this will help you understand more and schedule you social media more effectively!

The strategic implication for B2C and B2B is the same; distribution gets easier to buy, credibility gets harder to earn. Threads rewards coherence in public conversation, how you answer, how you sound, how specific you are. Treat it as a trust surface, because that’s where decisions get shaped now.

Feeds are getting tired of “perfect”. A lot of the most interesting work going into 2026 is reacting against hyper-digital polish with visuals that feel more handled: scanned textures, mismatched elements, collecting layouts, and deliberate “imperfections” that make the human hand visible again. That matters for social, because audiences clock…
