Social Planner is a powerful tool on your platform that enables social media posting and scheduling.

In this article, we're going to see how you can use Social Planner to make posts for your Facebook page or group, or for a Google My Business listing.

Let’s start with a Facebook post.

To open the tool, first click Marketing on the left menu, and then click Social Planner on the top menu that appears.

Next, click the Facebook logo.

This will open a pop up prompting you to connect your Facebook account.

Select the page you want to use and then click Next.

In the permissions section that appears, make sure that the Create and manage content toggle is enabled, and then click Done.

Click Ok on the next page that appears.

Finally, select your Facebook page on the popup and click Allow.

Now that your page is connected, let’s click Compose new post to create a new Facebook post.

This will open a post builder.

To start, click the drop down menu and select the linked account you want to create the post for.

You’ll notice that there’s a preview pane on the right to show you what your post will look like.

Next, type your post’s text in the content text box.

You can also add an image to your post, which we’ll do right now.

Click the image icon below the text to add an image.

This opens a library where you can choose a previously-uploaded image. You can also upload a new image to the library by clicking Upload file in the top right.

Click an image in your library to select it.

If you look at the preview pane, you can see that both our text and image have been added.

Great! Our post is complete and we’re ready to publish it.

Click the drop down on the Post button. This gives us options to:

• Post Now - Publish the post immediately.

• Schedule Post - Schedule a date and time to publish the post.

• Delete - Delete the post.

If you select Schedule Post, a calendar will open with a time selector to specify exactly when your post will be published.

We’ve decided to schedule our post.

After you select your desired Post option, you’ll be redirected back to the Social Planner dashboard.

Now, let’s check out how our post will look.

To view a post, click Preview link on the left side of the post entry.

The preview link will take you directly to your published post on Facebook.

Now, let’s go back to your Social Planner dashboard to add a new account.

Click the selector at the top left of the dashboard and then click Add Account.

You can choose between adding a new Facebook page or group or add a new Google My Business listing.

And that’s all there is to it!

With your platform’s Social Planner tool, you can easily create and schedule posts to ensure a steady stream of content on both Facebook and Google My Business.
