How to find your own best time to post on Facebook
Your Page's followers may keep different hours than the study. Meta Business Suite can suggest a time: when you schedule a Page post and set its date and time, you can view a recommended time to post (Facebook Help).
To check your own data, open post insights, sort recent posts by reach and note when the best ones went out. Post at those hours for a few weeks, alternating with the times above, and keep the hours that win.
