Business Center makes it easy to consolidate your social media platforms into one easy-to-use platform! You can schedule and publish posts across various channels simultaneously, saving time and ensuring consistent messaging. This consolidated approach also allows for unified analytics, simplifying performance tracking and providing comprehensive insights into your overall social media strategy.
Which Social Media Profiles Can I connect to Business Center?
With Business Center, you can connect:
To get started, navigate to Social. If you haven't connected any social media pages before, you will be prompted to do so.
If you have connected a social media profile previously but want to do so again, click on the gear icon from any page within Social
Then, click on Add New
Select the Social Media Profile you would like to connect (at the end you will be given the option to add another)
What is "Other Platforms?"
Have a social media platform you also manage? While Business Center can only post to the pages mentioned above, you can still receive an email containing your post with a reminder to post it to your other platform, so you can still achieve consistent messaging.
We can automatically notify you to post to:
- Snapchat
- Tumblr
- Custom (other platform)
From here, the process can vary depending on the platform, but all of them will involve signing in with your credentials and granting the necessary permissions. See the individual step-by-step guides for details connecting each platform individually.
FAQ
