Find Out the Best Time to Post on Google+ Have you ever wondered if there’s an ideal time you should share your posts on Google+ so that they have more impact? Developer Daniel Treadwell did, and instead of staying in the dark, he decided to build a tool that will do just that – the aptly named Google+Timing. Announcing the new app, Daniel writes: “To attempt to aid you (and myself!) In getting the most out of your posts I have created Google+Timing, a site which analyzes your post history (capped at 100 posts for now) that highlights the days and hours in which your posts have the highest impact.”

After granting the app access to your Google+ profile, it analyzes engagement on your posts, and determines what time is best for you to post. If it says that you should be posting at 4am in the morning, be sure to check the timezone. You can easily change the timezone with the handy dropdown menu at the top of the page.

CWiA: If you look down from the virtual towers of the online marketing and communications world, chances are you will see Hilda Green at the grassroots of business start-ups doing website development, graphic design, database management, electronic mail, social media and community engagement. As emien.com.au, she’s the community go-to-person for business start-ups and up-and-runners competing for a voice in the online chatterama.
