# what is the best way to optimise the time slots for posting social posts?

Right now HubSpot only gives me 11am or 5pm as recommended times, and we do not have enough data on our follower to create our own posting times. Is it possible to do analysis on when to post socials?

I found the easiest for me was to take a few weeks and create social posts that go out at various times. Then after a few weeks, I looked at the analytics tab of hubspot social to see what posts had the most views. From there I tried to establish an initial basis for posting times, based on trends. Granted it is not the most accurate way, but a starting point. Generally speaking, some follow this: The best times for media companies to post on Facebook: Tuesday at 5 p.m. and Friday from 8–9 a.m. Other top times: Wednesday from 8–9 a.m., Wednesday at 5 p.m. and Thursday at 5 p.m. Most consistent engagement: Tuesday through Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
