SmarterQueue

 

SmarterQueue is a social media manager app. It will categorize, queue, and post on various social media apps. Right now, they include Twitter, Facebook Pages, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. TikTok, Discord, Tumblr, Snapchat, and Reddit are not available. The app is available from SmarterQueue’s website for both PC and Mac, but there are limits on mobile. Currently, iOS has all features, but Android will only work for posting to Instagram.

The app offers a free 14-day trial to begin. You can sign up with Twitter, Facebook, or an email address. Once your account is set up, you can add social media accounts. You must give permission for the apps to work together. You must have a Facebook page (not just a profile) and link the page to your Instagram. Once you establish your links, the app will auto-post for you. You can also recycle content to repost and never miss a time slot. More on that later.

Users can create posts inside the app with a preview of the different platforms. You can categorize posts to represent your brand better. It’s great for keeping those “Buy Me” threads in check. All content can be scheduled ahead of time. The color-coordinated categories make it easy to set up for best exposure/marketing. Preview a week at a time on the calendar and see all your social media activity in one spot.

After the free 14 trial, users must choose a subscription level. A solo account is $17 a month annually. A business account is $34 a month annually, and to manage multiple accounts, it’s $68 a month annually. Each level has a different allowance of social media profiles—four, ten, twenty-five, respectively. Each has its own number of posts—10, 20, 40 daily and categories used—10, 20, 50. There is also a custom account. It’s also $17 a month annually and starts the same as the solo account. But you can juggle the limits—lowering one, raising another to fit your brand.

Next week, we’ll dig into how to use the program.
