Posting Time Test Plan
Test timing properly instead of trusting generic advice.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Design a posting time test. Platform, audience and typical posting schedule: [PLATFORM_AUDIENCE_SCHEDULE]. Post types: [POST_TYPES]. Weeks available: [WEEKS]. Create an experiment that compares three time slots across similar posts while keeping content type constant. Explain how many posts per slot are needed for a rough indication and why the result may still be noisy. Provide a log template, a rotation schedule that avoids always putting the best content in one slot, and a decision rule for choosing a time with a stated margin. Warn about confounders such as holidays and algorithm changes. Include a brief report template with the result and a statement of confidence. Also add a worked example log with invented data for nine posts and a conclusion that expresses uncertainty, and a note on revisiting the test every six months. Include a short note about audiences in different time zones and a way to record where followers are located, using the platform's own insights if available.

Invented log: 9 posts across three slots Slot | Posts | Clicks to site (median) 8 a.m. | 3 | 14 12 p.m. | 3 | 21 7 p.m. | 3 | 18 Conclusion: noon may be best, but differences are small with only three posts per slot; repeat for another 6 weeks before changing the schedule. Confounders: holiday week; one post had a larger image. Rule: change the schedule only if a slot beats the others by at least 20 percent over two cycles.
