How to use this Best Times to Post tool?

Pick your country and whether you're analyzing a typical profile, top 5% profile, or company page. You'll see a heatmap showing engagement by hour and day, plus charts tracking reach patterns throughout the week. Use these insights to schedule your posts when your audience is actually online.

Why does posting time matter on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn's algorithm favors posts that get early engagement. Post when nobody's around, and your content dies in the first hour. Post when your audience is active, and that initial engagement signals the algorithm to show your post to more people. Timing isn't everything, but it's the easiest way to get more eyes on the content you're already creating.

Does this work for both personal profiles and company pages?

Yes. The tool shows data for typical profiles, top-performing profiles (top 5%), and company pages. Engagement patterns differ between these account types, so we break them out separately.

Will this guarantee my posts go viral?

No. Good timing gets more people to see your post, but they still need a reason to engage with it. Think of this as removing one obstacle, you're making sure you're not posting into an empty room.

How is this different from generic "best time to post" advice?

Most advice tells everyone to post at 10am Tuesday. We show you actual data for your specific audience location and account size. What works for a US company page is different from what works for a personal profile in Germany.
