Pro Scheduling Tips

Advanced strategies for maximum engagement

Start with Conservative Frequency

Begin with 1-2 posts per day per platform and gradually increase based on engagement. Quality beats quantity.

Test Different Time Windows

Use A/B testing for 2-3 different time slots to find what works best for your specific audience.

Monitor Engagement Patterns

Check analytics weekly to identify trends and adjust your scheduling strategy accordingly.

Platform-Specific Content

Tailor content format and timing for each platform's unique audience behavior and algorithm preferences.

Common Setup Issues

Quick fixes for the most common scheduling problems

AI suggestions seem off

The AI needs 7-14 days to learn your audience. Start with custom times and gradually enable AI features.

Posts scheduling at wrong times

Check your timezone settings in Project Settings. Ensure it matches your target audience, not your personal location.

Queue running empty

Increase content generation frequency or enable automated content creation from your topics.

Platform-specific timing conflicts

Set custom time windows for each platform. LinkedIn needs business hours, while Instagram works better evenings/weekends.
