Posting frequency by platform

📸

Instagram

4–7 posts/week + daily Stories

Instagram's algorithm rewards consistency and recency. Reels reach new audiences; static posts retain existing followers. Stories keep you top-of-feed without crowding the main grid.

👥

Facebook

4–5 posts/week

Organic reach is lower than in Instagram but Facebook still drives strong engagement for local businesses in UAE. 4–5× weekly is the right balance between visibility and feed fatigue.

💼

LinkedIn

3–5 posts/week

LinkedIn rewards quality over quantity more than any other platform. 3–5 thoughtful posts per week outperforms daily posting of weak content. Best for B2B, professional services, and recruitment.

🐦

X / Twitter

5–7 posts/week

X has a high-volume, short-attention environment. 1–3 posts per day keeps you visible. Original takes on industry news and engaging with trending topics work best.

🎵

TikTok

5–7 posts/week

TikTok's algorithm doesn't penalise new accounts that post frequently — in fact, daily posting is often necessary to break through. Short, authentic videos (15-60s) perform best for UAE and UK audiences.
