How is Convosight’s Post Scheduler different from Facebook Group Post Scheduler?

Let’s first look at the Facebook group post scheduler.

To access it, you have to go to the ‘Create Post’ section, write your post, and click on the calendar icon, right beside the post button.

Go on to select the date and time at which you want to schedule post in your Facebook group. Hit schedule.

As you can see above, Facebook group post scheduler gives you a long list of dates and timings to schedule your post.

It sure is easy, but you don’t get to know about the best times to post in your group. 

You need to figure out the best time to post in your Facebook group yourself by referring to group insights.

Under the Engagement tab as part of the ‘Insights‘, you’ll see two separate graphs for popular days and popular times.

Use popular days and time graph in Post Scheduler

The above graphs not only seem overwhelming but are also difficult to process.

Looking at the popular days’ graph, I can tell that very few conversations happen in our community on Thursday followed by Saturday. On the other hand, Wednesdays are the best followed by Fridays.

However, when I look at the popular times graph, it’s hard to comprehend the exact best time to post. All the timings are rounded off, i.e. 10 AM, 11 AM, 12 PM, 1 PM, 2 PM, and so on.

Which means it’s an estimated time frame that Facebook has given.

That’s where Convosight’s Post Scheduler plays its part. 

As mentioned above, it gives you the exact best times to post for every single day. 

And the content formats that members engage with the most in your group.

This means:

  • No complicated data to process, breakdown, and use
  • Easy and convenient to schedule posts without worrying about maximum engagement
  • Ample time is saved

In addition to that, Convosight’s Post Scheduler gives you content suggestions, pre-defined templates to get started with, and a long list of emojis to make your content more consumable.

Besides, it allows auto posting to multiple Facebook groups simultaneously. 

That too, without getting blocked. Check out this blog to know how and everything else.👇🏻

Facebook Group Post Scheduler

While that’s about how to schedule Facebook group posts for free, (Yes, Convosight is free to use for all Facebook group admins) let me now share with you how you can track their performance. 

On Facebook, you must refer to the ‘Post Insights’, available for every post done in the group.

post insights

Check the performance of the post by calculating the reach % and engagement %.

But first, you need to understand what each of the metrics under the performance section means.

  • Post Engagement: It refers to the number of times members engaged with your post by reacting, commenting, or sharing it.
  • People Reached: It refers to the (estimated) number of people who saw the post at least once.
  • Active members at the time of post: It is the number of people who were active in the group in the last 28 days from the day the post was published. A member is considered active in the group if they have viewed content in the group or via News Feed.

These are standalone metrics and you can track the actual performance of a post by calculating the Reach% and Engagement%.

Reach % can be calculated by dividing the number of people reached by active members at the time of post.

Engagement % can be calculated by dividing post engagement by people reached.
