Social media guides

How-to guides for the work around posting: getting client sign-off, planning a month, writing for each network and reporting results.

Each guide is written to be useful on its own, whatever tool you use. Where PostRoost helps, we link to the feature.

  • Client approval workflow

    Who approves, what they check, turnaround times, and how to handle late changes, with a printable checklist.

  • Plan a month of posts

    A repeatable routine: fixed dates, content pillars, a posting rhythm, drafting in batches and one upload.

  • One post, seven networks

    What to change per network: length, links, hashtags, media and titles, with each network's documented limits.

  • Measure social media results

    Which numbers to report, consistent engagement rates, fair period comparisons and tracking clicks to the website.

Frequently asked questions

10 questions

Who are these guides for?

Agencies, freelancers and in-house teams who run social media for a brand and want a repeatable way to plan, approve and report.

Do I need PostRoost to use them?

No. Each guide works on its own, whatever tool you use. Where PostRoost helps with a step, we link to the feature.

Where should I start?

If clients sign off posts, start with the approval workflow guide. If the struggle is filling the calendar, start with planning a month.

Are there templates to go with the guides?

Yes. The calendar, report and approval checklist templates match the guides and are free to download.

Where do the network limits in the guides come from?

From each network's developer documentation, linked in the guide's sources. Where we found no official reference, we say so and give the limit PostRoost's composer uses.

How often are the guides updated?

Guides that cite network limits show the date we last checked them. Networks change their rules, so check the linked documentation for anything critical.

Can I share a guide with my client?

Yes. Link to it or quote it; the guides are written to make sense to clients as well as to the people doing the work.

Do the guides include benchmarks?

No. We do not publish engagement or reach benchmarks we cannot source. The measurement guide explains how to compare a brand with its own past results instead.

Is there a blog as well?

Yes. The blog has shorter, more topical articles on strategy, agency operations, approvals, reporting and AI.

Can I suggest a guide?

Yes. Send us a message with the question you would like answered.
