PSA: The "post at 9am on Tuesday" rule is killing your client results

I spent 6 months following that whole "post when everyone is awake" advice for a landscaping client in Austin. Tuesday at 9am sharp every week. Engagement was dead. Zero comments, barely any likes. Then out of frustration I tried posting their before and after yard pics on a Saturday at 7pm. Got 40 leads in two days. Turns out homeowners actually browse when they're relaxing at night, not during work hours. I checked their analytics deeper and found most of their audience was active between 8-11pm. Now I schedule all their content for evenings and weekends. Has anyone else ditched the "best time" articles and found weird hours that actually work for their niche?

Totally changed my mind on this. Started posting my stuff late nights too and saw way better results.

That advice worked fine for my clients, maybe your audience is just weird.

Are you sure @jade_jenkins isn't just posting to an audience of robots who never sleep?
