Practical articles for people who run social media for clients and brands: planning, approvals, reporting, AI and what each network really allows.
Social media is easier to talk about than to run. Somewhere between the content plan, the client who wants “one small change”, the network that rejected a video and the report due on Monday, the work happens. This blog is about that work.
We write for agencies, freelancers and in-house teams who publish for brands every week: how to plan a month without filling it with adverts, how to get approvals back on time, how to use AI writing tools without losing a client’s voice, which numbers belong in a report, and what each network actually lets a scheduling tool do. Articles are practical, dated and sourced, and they work whatever tool you use.

The PostRoost team: the people who build and support the product. Articles are reviewed against the networks' own documentation where they mention limits or rules.
No. Every article is written to work with any tool or with a spreadsheet. Where PostRoost helps, we say so briefly and link to the feature.
We link to the network's own developer or help documentation whenever we cite a limit, a permission or a format. If we cannot find an official source, we leave the number out.
Because published benchmarks rarely match a specific audience, and we do not publish numbers we cannot source. We explain how to test timing with your own client's results instead.
