The honest answer is two to three times a week
For most B2B companies, two to three posts a week from a real person is the point where presence builds without the schedule collapsing. Daily posting works if you have someone whose job it is; for everyone else it produces three excellent weeks and then silence, which performs worse than a steady, unremarkable rhythm. The number matters less than whether you can still be doing it in month nine, because that is when the compounding starts.
Frequency cannot rescue the wrong account
Before adding posts, check where they are coming from. Company pages reach a fraction of what an individual reaches, on every measure, which means tripling the output of a company page still gets you close to nothing. The founder and the specialists are the accounts with reach, and that is not a quirk of the algorithm but of how people behave. If this is news, start with why a founder presence outperforms a company page before touching the calendar.
Match the cadence to what you can source
Content runs out before enthusiasm does. Before committing to a number, count what your business actually generates in a normal month: projects that finished, questions customers asked, a decision you made and why, something that went wrong and what you changed. That inventory sets your honest ceiling. Companies that pick a frequency first end up padding with industry news nobody needed, which trains the audience to scroll past your name.
Commenting is half the work and none of the calendar
Twenty minutes a day replying properly under other people's posts does more for reach than a third weekly post, and almost nobody schedules it. It puts you in front of the audience you want without asking them to come to you, and it starts the conversations that turn into enquiries, which is most of how LinkedIn actually generates B2B leads. Treat it as part of the commitment rather than something done when there is time, because there is never time.

A rhythm of three identical text posts a week flattens quickly. Rotate through what you already have: a short observation, a project photograph with what it took, a question, something filmed on a phone on site. Video in particular carries further than text on every platform now, and it does not need to be produced, only made for the way people actually watch. Variety keeps the same cadence from feeling like an obligation to the reader and to you.
Write it down or it will not survive Q4
The reason cadences fail is that nobody owns them. Put a name against the account, a repeating slot in the calendar, and a small backlog of drafts written when things were quiet. A fortnight of buffer is what carries you through the week a project catches fire. Deciding this properly is most of what separates running social in-house from handing it over, and it is worth settling before you commit to a number.
Judge it on conversations, not impressions
Three months in, the useful question is not how many people saw the posts. It is how many relevant conversations started, how many came from people who fit what you sell, and whether anyone mentioned a post in a sales call. That number is small and honest. Reach without conversations usually means you are posting for peers rather than buyers, which is a content problem rather than a frequency one, and adding posts will not fix it. Getting that rhythm right is the whole of social media management.
