What are the best times to post on Craigslist

January 6, 2023 dstribute.io Job Distribution Software

Even will all the advanced digital resources available today, Craigslist remains to be one of the most popular platforms for recruiters, sellers, and buyers. The reason for this is that it is absolutely free and gets a high amount of traffic almost every single day.

According to a recent report by Ahrefs.com, Craigslist is the 20th most visited website in the USA. Its monthly search traffic is over 76 million!

Thus, to make your mark on the website and get enough views on Craigslist, you need to upload your ads and posts at the right time of the day. Yes, the time at which you share your posts plays a crucial role in determining the result of your posts and ads.

But what are the best times to post on Craigslist? Read the blog post till the end to find out everything about it!

Best hours of the day to post on Craigslist

Generally, most Craigslist experts recommend the early morning hours for sharing your ads and job posts on Craigslist. During the weekdays (especially Monday), the time between 10 AM to 12 PM works the best. Since it is the break time for most employees, they will likely check out Craigslist then.

On the other hand, if you prefer to post in the evenings, 5 PM on Monday through Friday can give you the desired results. For weekends, especially Saturday, we recommend posting during the morning hours.

Best days of the week to post on Craigslist

Different people swear by other days when it comes to the best days of the week to post jobs on Craigslist. Generally, Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays are considered to be the best days for Craigslist posts. Many business owners recommend avoiding Tuesdays and Wednesdays as their ads witness the least views and traffic during these days.

However, the best day for your Craigslist post will also depend on the type of item you are trying to sell. So, please research your audience, understand when they are most likely to check Craigslist and experiment with different days.

The ideal lead time

One of the most important things you should know about Craigslist is that, like most things in life, it is highly unpredictable. Sometimes you will be able to find high-quality leads within days, while it will take months other times.

Thus, we recommend running your Craigslist ads at least one to two months before you need to sell your items. This will give you plenty of time to understand your ads performance and will help you avoid the last-minute rush.

Summing up

The number of monthly user visits makes Craigslist incredibly popular; it also makes it extremely competitive. So, it would be best to pull all the stops you can to get more eyeballs for your ads and posts. After all, the more people view your ads, the more likely you will find high-quality leads.

Thus, take note of the times mentioned above and try to post your Craigslist ad. On the other hand, if you are looking for some help with your Craigslist ads, manual job postings, or Craigslist bulk job postings, get in touch with us!

Fantastic product. Bruce and his team are amazing. My experience has been smooth throughout and exceeded expectations greatly. It's great to use a product that just immediately works, plus having the team so easily reachable. I've recommended this to friends and will continue to do so

We’ve been using Dstribute as one of our recruitment channels, and overall, it’s been a great experience. Initially, we faced some issues with job postings, but Bruce and his team were incredibly patient and persistent in resolving them, even after multiple attempts. Their support was top-notch.

The platform itself is excellent—easy to use, effective, and very reasonably priced. It has been a valuable addition to our hiring process. Definitely recommend Dstribute to anyone looking for a solid recruitment solution!
Jamen Griffith
Dstribute has been a great investment for our company as it has not only brought in a strong, steady flow of candidates to our ATS on a daily basis, but it has an incredibly friendly and easy to use interface, ultimately making it a significant time saver. If you are searching around for a multi-poster to add to your recruitment company, I would look no further and reach out to Bruce at dstribute. You won't be disappointed.
