✓ HootsuiteHootsuite is a great tool for those that want to increase their social media engagement. It can be managed by several members of your team and allow you to delegate tasks to each one. You can also manage multiple social media platforms at once and schedule posts in advance. When you come up with new strategies, you’re able to view your analytics and utilize the reporting features if you want a professional document on your social media progress.

In order to manage multiple clients, it’s important to stay organized. I love using Hootsuite. The platform is free up to three channels and after that, they have very reasonable annual fees based on how many accounts you have. You can publish directly to Instagram, which many platforms CANNOT do. This was a big win for us.

With Hootsuite, you can schedule content, create analytics reports to track your account’s progress (engagement, likes, followers, etc.) and create streams that are basically a homepage for all published posts, scheduled posts, and any posts that contain hashtags that are relevant to your brand or business. Super helpful!

As a social media manager/marketer, I personally use Hootsuite as my go-to social media management tool.

I am a huge fan of Hootsuite and I recommend this tool to others because it is convenient and efficient as you are able to see all your social media platforms under one tab/page. This is a huge advantage for many people especially social media managers as they are very time-sensitive.

Also, it allows them to schedule their posts for later dates which is also a bonus point. Hootsuite also makes social listening much easier for social media marketers and managers.

As Marketing Lead I’m in charge of Social Media and am happily using the free version of Hootsuite. I especially like the handy “Publisher” Feature which allows me to write one post for different Social Media channels. I love, that I can still adapt the tracking link for every Social Media channel individually. It is a huge time saver.

Also, I love the calendar view with the scheduled posts. You get everything at a glance and the whole team is up to date.

Additionally, it helps us to monitor the social media as we track keywords with the monitoring service.

To sum it up, I think the free version of Hootsuite is a good tool for small businesses with limited Marketing budget.

As the sole member of the Marketing Team at our small organization, time management is absolutely crucial. That is why I am so reliant on Hootsuite to manage our social media presence across our four core accounts. The tool allows me to monitor key feeds and engagements across our platforms, as well as schedule out similar content across multiple channels all in one go. This means I can batch our social media content creation, and significantly reduce the number of hours I spend in the networks each week, ultimately optimizing the ROI on my time across social.

Rather than juggling multiple social platforms and posting content at all hours of the day, brands should schedule updates in advance using a service like Hootsuite or Sprout Social. This allows them to publish content on the same time of day and days of the week, which boosts SEO and appears more professional and consistent.

It’s easy to use and making edits and changes is a breeze! Accounts can have multiple users, allowing content creators to create drafts and managers to easily edit, approve, and schedule posts. It’s especially helpful for agencies with multiple clients’ social media accounts to keep track of!
