Posting Cadence

Typically, we’ve seen that posting at least 10x for each position per month, per market (network reach) drives the initial traffic you’re looking to generate. Among all clients, we have found they tend to currently post on average 12x posts, per month, per market.

  • If posting in multiple categories, please apply to each selected.
  • Due to the nature of Craigslist's feed-based system working in chronological order, consider posting more in high-volume, competitive markets and less in low-volume, less competitive markets.


For visual learners, here is a video showing how to do this.
