|---|---|---|
| Jakarta | 07:00-09:00, 11:00-13:00, 17:00-19:00 | Standard business hours |

Being Inconsistent
- Posting 5x one day, 0x next three days
- Algorithm penalizes inconsistency
Only Posting During "Optimal" Times
- Sometimes off-peak times have less competition
- Test early morning (05:00-06:00) atau late night (22:00-23:00)
DO's ✅
Check Your Own Insights
- Every account has unique audience
- Your best times may differ dari general recommendations
Maintain Consistent Schedule

- Followers know when to expect content
Post at Multiple Times
