How to schedule Facebook posts on your Page: the guide

A Facebook Page lives on consistency: Ramadan opening hours, the menu of the week, an event announcement. Posting all of that by hand, at the right moment, takes more time than you think. This guide explains how to schedule Facebook posts on your Page, from a computer, from a phone or with a tool like Postilik, and how to write posts people actually read. It complements our page on how to schedule posts on all your networks.

Last updated: November 2026. Meta’s menus change often: if a button has another name for you, the order of the steps stays the same.

Can you schedule Facebook posts?

Yes, on a Facebook Page: the one for your business, association or activity. On a personal profile, Facebook offers no scheduling, and no tool can publish for you: Facebook reserves publishing by apps for Pages. If you use your profile for your business, creating a Page is free and gives you scheduling and statistics.

According to Meta’s help at the time of writing, a post can be scheduled up to 75 days ahead in Meta Business Suite. Some users report a shorter limit on their account: if a distant date is refused, bring it closer.

Before you schedule

• Access to the Page that lets you publish, as an admin or with content access.
• A visual in the right format. 4:5 (1080 × 1350 pixels) or square fills the mobile feed well.
• The text ready, with its first two lines polished: they are the only ones visible before “See more”.

Method 1: schedule with Meta Business Suite on a computer

1. Open Meta Business Suite and click Create post.
2. Select your Page, and your Instagram account if you want to publish in both places.
3. Write the text and add your photos or video.
4. Click the arrow next to the publish button, choose Schedule, then the date and time.
5. Confirm. The post joins the planner, where you can edit, move or delete it.

Method 2: schedule from your phone

The Meta Business Suite app follows the same steps on mobile: create a post, choose the Page, then the scheduling option before confirming. It is handy for a post prepared during the day, less so for planning a whole month.

Method 3: how to schedule Facebook posts with Postilik

1. In the post editor, select your Facebook Page. If you manage several Pages, choose the one that publishes.
2. Describe your post in one sentence. The AI writes the text in Darija, Modern Standard Arabic, French or English, in your business’s tone. You can also write it yourself.
3. Add an image or an album of up to ten images, created with AI or uploaded.
4. If needed, add a first comment, published right after the post: handy for a link, opening hours or an address.
5. Choose the day and time, then schedule. The post joins your calendar with your other networks.

Postilik’s full plans add video, Reels and Facebook Stories. The Solo plan, focused on a single network, covers text, image and album posts: our Postilik for Facebook page presents it in detail.

The methods compared

If you only publish on Facebook and Instagram, Meta Business Suite is often enough. As soon as you add other networks or write in several languages, a shared tool saves time every week.

What to publish on a Facebook Page

For the limits of each format, our post formats guide gives sizes and file counts for each network.

Write a Facebook post people read

• The first two lines carry everything. Put the information or the question first, not after three sentences of introduction.
• One call to action. Book, order, comment: pick one.
• Short paragraphs. One idea per line, especially on mobile.
• The link in the right place. In the text for an important announcement, or in the first comment to keep the post readable.
• Your customers’ language. A post in Darija or Arabic reaches part of your audience that a French text does not, and the reverse is also true.

After publishing

A scheduled post goes out on its own, but comments and messages arrive live. Answering quickly matters as much as posting on time. The Postilik inbox brings together messages and comments from your networks so you can answer them in one place.

Example: a month of posts for a restaurant

Here is a starter plan for the Page of a fictional restaurant in Marrakech, prepared in half a day at the start of the month.

Twelve posts, all scheduled at once. On days without a post, the Page stays alive through replies to comments and messages.

Common mistakes

• Trying to schedule on a personal profile. Use a Page.
• Promising a swipeable carousel. In organic posts, several images form an album.
• Scheduling too far ahead. An offer scheduled two months in advance may no longer be current: review your calendar every week.
• Copying the Instagram text without re-reading it. Hashtags matter less here, and the tone can be more detailed. Our guide on how to post to multiple social media platforms at once shows how to adapt one idea.

Key takeaways

To schedule Facebook posts, you need a Page. Meta Business Suite does it for free for Facebook and Instagram. Postilik adds writing in your customers’ language, the first comment and your other networks in the same calendar. To decide how many posts to publish, see our guide on how often to post on social media. Request your Postilik access to schedule your Page’s month in one go. Accounts are currently opened on request.
