- View performance in Insights: Track reach, engagement, and link clicks

Step 1: How do I connect my social accounts?
Before you can post, Social AI needs access to your social profiles. Connect Facebook, Google Business Profile, and (with Pro) Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and TikTok from one place.

- Go to
Social AI>Settings. - Open the Connect Accounts tab.
- Click the platform you want to connect (for example, Facebook or Google).
- Sign in and grant the required permissions.
- Repeat for each platform you want to use.
See Account connections for detailed steps, platform limits, and troubleshooting.
Standard includes Facebook and Google Business Profile. Pro adds Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and TikTok. Instagram must be linked to a Facebook Page.
Step 2: How do I create my first post?
Use the Composer to create posts for one or multiple platforms at once. Add text, images, or videos, and customize content per account if needed.
How to create a post

- Click Compose or Create.
- Under Post to, select the accounts you want to publish to.

See Posting content and the Posts overview for platform-specific options, character limits, and media requirements.
Step 3: How do I schedule or publish a post?
