Optimize Your DEXScreener Profile
- Upload a high-quality banner (1500x500px) that showcases your brand
- Write a compelling description — include your narrative, utility, and community size
- Add all social links: Twitter, Telegram, Discord, Website

- Partner with other token communities for cross-promotional buys
- Use content packs to maintain consistent social presence that drives daily volume
- Create FOMO with holder milestones and market cap celebrations
Timing Matters
- US morning (9-11 AM EST) and evening (7-9 PM EST) are peak DEXScreener hours
- Weekdays generally have more competition but more eyes
- Coordinate pushes when similar tokens aren't trending — less competition
- Sustained volume over 4-6 hours beats a single spike
Content Strategy for Trending
- Generate 90-180 shill posts with HypeForge to sustain a multi-day content blitz
- Create urgency-based memes: 'THIS CHART' and 'NOT TOO LATE' formats perform well
- Post before, during, and after buy pushes — maximize the momentum
- Engage with every reply on your posts — algorithm loves engagement
After Trending
- Don't stop marketing after trending — that's when the new holders need validation
- Submit to CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap while you have attention
- Run a competitor spy report to identify your next strategic move
- Reinvest in more content — trending is a springboard, not the destination
