Day playbook

Best Time to Post on Instagram on Sunday

Sunday scroll tends to be slower and more reflective. Save-worthy frameworks, annual-planning prompts, and behind-the-scenes content often outperform hard promos—especially in the late morning when users preview the week ahead.

14-day experiment checklist

  1. Pick two adjacent posting windows ±60 minutes apart.
  2. Fix creative quality so timing is the primary variable.
  3. Log timezone, format (Reels, carousel, static), and objective.
  4. Compare saves and profile visits, not only top-line reach.
