The short answer is: the data says no. Consistency is more likely to raise your reach and audience engagement — which is the primary service offered by third-party scheduling/repurposing tools. However, this myth will always persist based on who you ask.

How do we know scheduling tools are not likely the culprit of low engagement?

Organic reach is the number of eyes on your content without you paying to reach a specific audience. Unlike ads, organic posts aren’t targeted to specific audiences, so they rely on the social network’s algorithm.
