Scheduling Posts
Plan ahead of time by scheduling your posts. When you schedule in advance Social will by default pick the time of day to publish. This always differs and can be adjusted to your needs. A list of scheduled posts can be found in the posts section. Here you can reschedule by either dragging and dropping the post up or down or you can simply select the post and proceed to edit.

Post and Engagement Summary
Learn which post is performing the best and what demographic they belong to. Social provides a summary of the amount of people that liked a Facebook page and compares the number of people that liked the page organically. Average number of new likes gained and lost are also displayed. When you select any of the information in the summary, a bar graph pops up and will display the data per day.
To save time you can schedule to receive this summary. Choose a date rage and how often you would like to receive the report. These reports can be shared with your team of collaborators.

Monitor Posts
Create your own dashboard to monitor your posts in one place. Add multiple columns to track keywords, @’s and likes. Track conversations and respond to comments and direct messages in your dashboard. Direct messages also have a dedicated section where you can send replies to requests.
