💡 Personal Tips
Metricool's 'Best time to post' feature is based on your actual audience data, not generic advice — check it monthly as your audience shifts. The competitor tracking feature (paid) is one of the best value analytics features in any social tool: track up to 100 competitor Instagram/TikTok accounts and see their posting frequency, engagement rates, and top content. The autolist feature auto-reposts your best evergreen content at set intervals — great for content that ages well. Export the weekly report PDF and send it to clients; it looks professional and takes 30 seconds.
