Why timing matters for saas/b2b on YouTube

YouTube surfaces content based on click-through rate and watch time. Upload a few hours before peak viewing so the algorithm has time to index and start recommending your video during the high-traffic window.

Strong mid-morning peak (10 AM-12 PM) when professionals browse between meetings. Secondary peak at lunch (12-2 PM). Engagement drops sharply after 5 PM and on weekends.
