FAQ

How many pins per day should a business publish?

Cadence varies by niche, but consistency beats spikes. Start with a realistic weekly schedule you can sustain.

Should we plan by board or by campaign?

Use both. Campaign objective defines priority, while board rotation preserves channel breadth and evergreen growth.

Can agencies use one calendar for many clients?

Use one template structure, but keep a separate calendar per client workspace to avoid cross-account mistakes.
