How to schedule posts on a Facebook Page

Published October 5, 2026 · 5 min read

Scheduling Facebook posts keeps a Page active even during busy weeks. Here are your options, from the simplest to the most automated.

First: a Page, not a profile

Scheduling works on Facebook Pages, not personal profiles. If your business still uses a profile, create a Page: it’s free, and it’s also what unlocks insights and publishing tools.

With Meta Business Suite (free)

  • Open Meta Business Suite and select your Page
  • Create a post, add the text and the image
  • Instead of “Publish”, choose to schedule and set the date and time
  • Find scheduled posts in the planner to edit them

With Relay (AI)

Just write what you want to announce and when: “announce our new menu Friday at 11 am on Facebook and Instagram”. Relay writes a version for each network, prepares the visual and shows you everything before scheduling. The post then goes out on time, even with your computer off.

Common mistakes

  • Scheduling on a personal profile instead of the Page
  • Forgetting the time zone when managing a Page from another country
  • Scheduling a whole month, then never answering comments

Frequently asked questions

Can I schedule posts in a Facebook group?

Outside tools can’t post in groups: Facebook doesn’t allow apps to. Scheduling is for Pages.
