When To Post To Get Seen!

Getting seen on social media can be tricky so it helps to be aware of times that improve your chances!
This does need a disclaimer however and that’s that these are generalized times and not all markets perform the same. You ALWAYS should be doing your own testing.
Optimizing your posting times can greatly improve the EdgeRank of your Facebook Page.
That said though, these can be great starting points.
