Posting frequency calculator
Find the minimum useful cadence for staying visible without turning social media into a second job.
What this tool helps you decide
Use this calculator when the real question is not “what is the ideal posting schedule in theory?” but “what can we actually keep up for six months without dropping off?”
To see what small businesses actually post, and where common posting advice gets its numbers, read the posting frequency benchmarks. For what Google measures for posts and which published numbers hold up, see the Google Business Profile posting benchmarks.
