Today, more people access Facebook from a mobile device than a desktop — 751 million monthly active users to be exact. Smartphone owners even spend more time checking Facebook on their mobile device than they do using Google.
Facebook traffic peaks mid-week on Wednesday. The best time to post is during 1pm and 4pm on weekdays. Early mornings, evenings and weekends are low traffic times.
The best time to post on Facebook is when your audience will see it. And this is going to be unique to you and your business.
You can set your posts any time and can publish it on the best time using Scheduling.
