Social scheduling

One update, published to your profile and your social channels.

The offer you post on Google is the offer your social followers should see too. Write it once, choose where it goes, and schedule it for every location at the same time.

The short answer

Multi social scheduling publishes your posts to social channels alongside your Google Business Profile, from the same composer and the same schedule. You write the update once and check the locations and channels it should reach before setting the publish date. It removes the copy and paste step that usually ends with social updated and the Google profile forgotten.

What it is

Why does the profile get skipped?

Most local businesses do post. They post to social, because that is where they already spend their time and where the followers are.

The Google profile is the one that gets forgotten, even though it is the thing people see at the exact moment they are choosing who to call.

Publishing to both from one place ends that split. The update reaches the followers you built and the customer who has never heard of you yet.

01 · Write it once

One composer, several destinations.

You write the update, attach the image, and check the boxes for where it should go. The profile and your social channels sit on the same screen, so you are not logging into each one separately.

Nothing is copied between tabs, so nothing gets pasted into the wrong account.

02 · Every location at once

Thirty branches, one scheduled post.

A company-wide announcement should not take thirty separate posts. Choose the locations and the same update publishes for all of them.

News about one branch still works the way you would expect. It goes only to that branch.

03 · Scheduled, not squeezed in

Pick the date and leave it.

Posts sit in a schedule, so a week of updates gets planned on a Monday afternoon rather than remembered on seven separate mornings.

A seasonal offer can be written in advance and published on the day it starts. Doing that by hand across several locations is hard to get right.

04 · Consistency people notice

What is live on social is live on the profile.

An offer that appears on social but not on the profile makes the business look careless, or worse, makes the offer look expired.

Publishing together means both carry the same offer with the same start and end dates.

05 · It costs no extra time

The profile post is the part you were skipping.

Nobody skips the profile because they think it does not matter. They skip it because it is one more login at the end of a busy day, which is a bad place to put anything you want done consistently.

When it is a checkbox on a post you were writing anyway, the reason disappears.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What does multi social scheduling do?

It publishes the same update to your social channels and to your Google Business Profile, so you write it once instead of twice and neither one gets skipped.

Can I post to only one of them?

Yes. The destinations are chosen per post, so an update can go to the profile alone, to social alone, or to both.

Does it work for multiple locations?

Yes. Pick the locations the post belongs to and each one publishes to its own profile, so a company-wide offer is one scheduled post rather than thirty.

Can I schedule in advance?

Yes. A post sits in the schedule until its date, and it can still be edited or pulled before it publishes if the offer changes.

Why post to the Google profile at all?

Because a profile that has not posted in months looks like a business that may not be open. Social reaches the customers you already have. The profile reaches the ones comparing you against two competitors right now.

Do I still need a separate social tool?

For local posting, no. Scheduling here covers both destinations together, and it is included rather than billed as its own subscription.

The customer choosing right now is looking at your profile.

Connect your locations and your next offer goes out on the date you set, with no second login. From $5.33 per location each month, three day trial.
