What it does
A B2B page on LinkedIn and a creator on TikTok should not follow the same weekly rhythm. This guide splits its reference data by account type as well as platform, so choosing B2B, B2C or creator changes the recommended days, peak hour ranges and tip.
Results appear as highlighted days in a week strip and a 24-hour heatmap, which makes it easy to turn into a weekly posting template. Use it as a starting point for a new schedule, then confirm with your own analytics after a few weeks.

When to use it
- Building a weekly template
- Use the highlighted days as your fixed posting days before filling in a content calendar.
- Brand versus creator accounts
- Switch account type to see how recommended days shift, such as weekday focus for B2B and weekends for creator YouTube.
- Choosing days for a new platform
- Get a reasonable starting schedule on a platform where you have no posting history yet.
Example
Input
Platform YouTube, account type creator
Output
Best days: Fri, Sat, Sun. Peak hours: 12:00-16:00. Tip: Weekend uploads catch leisure viewers.
Switching to B2B on YouTube changes this to Tue and Wed, 10:00-12:00, which shows why account type matters.
Tips
- Treat the days as the tool's reference defaults. After four to six weeks, compare your own post performance by weekday and adjust.
- Peak hours are in your audience's local time. For a spread-out audience, combine this with the timezone converter.
- If the result is Daily, choose the days you can sustain rather than forcing seven posts a week.
- Keep your most important post of the week on the first highlighted day, and use later days for supporting content.
Questions
Why do B2B and B2C accounts get different best days?
The guide's reference data assumes business audiences are most active on workdays and consumer or creator audiences also browse at weekends and evenings, so it stores separate days for each.
How is this different from the best time to post tool?
This guide focuses on which weekdays to post and splits the answer by B2B, B2C or creator. Use best time to post when you mainly need hour-level windows for a platform.
Which time zone are the peak hours in?
They are local times for the audience you are posting to. If your followers are in several zones, use the timezone audience converter to find overlaps.
