What social networks are compatible with SmarterQueue?
You can publish to Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Instagram, Google Business, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads. You can also publish to any other destination via notifications with Universal Profiles (in private beta). Each network has different capabilities, so check out our Social Platforms page for full details.
Will people know I'm using SmarterQueue?
Nope! We don't add any branding to your posts. Admins of your Facebook page will see "SmarterQueue" (so you know how the post was published), but your fans won't see this.
Is there a limit on how many profiles I can connect?
You can connect up to 150 social profiles on our custom plan, and you can separate them into multiple Workspaces to make things easier to manage. Contact us if you have more profiles to add.
Can I try it out without actually posting anything?
Of course! You can try out all of SmarterQueue's features and functionalities while your Queue is paused, so nothing will be published. If you're not ready to put a post in the Queue, but you want to save it, you can store posts in Drafts.
I'm just starting out on social media. Is SmarterQueue complicated?
No! We have users with all experience levels. All customers get a free onboarding call during their trial, and our Customer Success team are always available to help you further. Our Help Center is stuffed full of video guides and articles to help you learn. You'll be a pro in no time!
Can I use multiple profiles of the same social network? e.g 2 Facebook Pages, or a LinkedIn personal and LinkedIn company profile?
Absolutely! We're flexible. Unlike many other tools which only let you connect one profile per platform, you can connect as many profiles of each type as you like, in the same Workspace. For example, on the Business plan, you can connect 10 social profiles. This can be any combination of profile – e.g. 9 Instagram Profiles and 1 Facebook Page; or 3 X (Twitter) Profiles, 1 Pinterest Profile, 1 Facebook Page and 4 Instagram Profiles. Mix and match as your heart desires!
Will SmarterQueue know when's the best time to post?
There are so many random variables involved in social media publishing, that it’s impossible to predict your ‘best times to post’, especially with ever-changing algorithm updates and competitor posts. Any tool that tells you otherwise is exaggerating the truth. Coming Soon: We can offer you a visual heatmap of your past posts so you can see which times get the most engagement, so you can create your Posting Plan accordingly.
How much time will I save by using SmarterQueue?
With SmarterQueue, you can automate your posting schedule, keep your feed filled with content for weeks on end, reuse high-performing content, and write captions instantly with our AI feature, saving you hours each week. Some customers have said they save over 10 hours each week, and get up to 10x more engagement. Use this time to focus on growing your business, not your social media workload. Get started with a free trial and see how much time you can reclaim!

Am I bound into a contract?
You can choose month-to-month billing, which gives you the peace of mind you're not tied in if things change, or you can choose to pre-pay for an annual plan, saving 15%.
How much can I customize my plan?
As well as offering popular-sized plans that should match most solopreneurs, businesses, or agencies, we also let you customize every aspect of these plans, with our affordable add-ons. You can start with our base Solo plan, and then add Advanced Importer and Analytics features, or a few more profiles. Or if you need to add multiple Users to any plan, just pay a small add-on for the extra Users that you need, without having to double the full plan price for each User. Our pricing page lets you play with each option so you see exactly what your perfect plan will cost.
Is there a limit to how much content I can have queued?
We offer different levels of queued posts starting from 500 for a Solo plan, all the way up to unlimited, so you only pay for what you need. You can increase your limit with affordable add-ons.
I'm a business that would like to offer this to all my branches/locations. Can I connect up all my accounts?
Yes! We have worked with businesses like yours. Please get in touch to have a chat.
03. Publishing
How do I know what SmarterQueue is going to post and when?
Your Queue shows your upcoming posts: scheduled and Evergreen. As well as looking at your Queue chronologically, you can filter by social profile, Category, and content type.
Can I choose a time to post, rather than queue it?
Of course! You're always in control. Posts can be published immediately, scheduled for a specific date and time, multiple dates, recurring on a fixed interval, added to the top or bottom of your Queue, or saved as a draft.
What X (Twitter) features do you offer?
X (Twitter) closed their free API in April 2023, but we still offer a large number of our customers the ability to publish posts. This is subject to availability, and post volumes will be capped on a weekly basis. Analytics and Discover features are not currently available for X (Twitter). We hope to bring full X (Twitter) functionality back as soon as they improve their API offerings.
Can I see previews of my posts before they go out?
Yes! SmarterQueue will show you a preview of each post before it's published on each social network you've scheduled it for.
Where can I import content from?
SmarterQueue offers a whole host of ways for you to import content. You can post or queue content straight from the page you're reading with our Browser Extension. You can bulk-import articles from the web via RSS, social media feeds, or from a CSV file. You can even import content from your own bookmarked Sources, your competitors' pages, or your own past posts.
Can I post videos through SmarterQueue?
Yes, you can post native videos to Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, TikTok, and Instagram Business/Creator profiles. For Pinterest, you can publish a link to a video that we'll host for you. Instagram posts that cannot be published directly (e.g. for Personal Profiles) can be published via our mobile apps.
Will engagement be lower than if I post natively?
There is no evidence to suggest posting natively is better for engagement. SmarterQueue actually increases engagement by automatically recycling your posts (so it's seen by more of your audience), which no native publisher can do.
How do I post to Instagram?
You can direct-publish all types of post (Feed, Reel, Story) if you have Instagram Business or Creator Profile. For posts to Personal profiles, Instagram doesn't allow any apps to direct-publish, but you can use the SmarterQueue mobile app (iOS/Android) to make it easier to schedule and publish these posts.
Can I schedule Instagram Stories?
Yes - you can schedule Instagram Stories, and have them published directly if you have a Business or Creator profile; or else you can publish them via the SmarterQueue mobile apps (iOS & Android).
Do all my posts have to be the same across each social platform? Will they all be limited to the length of a tweet?
Not at all! With our Post Editor, you can either type a uniform post or customise your message/images/links for each platform. You can post your @mentions and #hashtags to X (Twitter) and Instagram, but drop them for longer messages on LinkedIn, and add native Page mentions for Facebook and LinkedIn.
Can I have seasonal campaigns that are only active at certain times of the year?
Yes! Seasonal Categories are Categories that will automatically activate and deactivate based on the dates you set. Ideal for time-bound campaigns, seasonal events, partnerships, promos, or holidays.
04. Features
What is Evergreen recycling? How does it work?
Evergreen content is anything which isn't time-specific, meaning you can post it again days or weeks later and still reap the benefits. Simple and mighty, SmarterQueue's Evergreen recycling lets you share, re-share and share again. With so much content published on social media, only a fraction of your followers see your organic posts before they’re pushed out of the feed: Evergreen gets more mileage out of each update. After your post is published, it goes back to the bottom of the Queue to be published again, and again, and again. Alternatively, you can repeat posts at fixed intervals. This can continue forever, so your Queue never runs out. You can also set an expiry date or set a maximum number of times to recycle.
Will my Evergreen posts be recycled forever?
You’re always in control: you can either set your Evergreen posts to recycle forever, set an expiry date, or a maximum number of times to post. You can also delete them, or remove them from the Queue. You can keep great posts for the future by saving them to drafts. Need to stop your posts? You can pause individual Categories, profiles, or your whole Queue.
What about X (Twitter)'s rules regarding duplication?
SmarterQueue is the best tool for recycling on X (Twitter). We have two features to help you maximise your reach and engagement, and stay fully X (Twitter) compliant.
Variations lets you add different versions of your posts when you're scheduling them, to avoid X (Twitter) penalisation and to keep your feeds fresh and enticing. Create as many text and/or media variations of an Evergreen post as you want, and a different combination will be published each time your post is recycled. Win win.
For any duplicate Tweets that you haven’t created Variations for, they will automatically be published as Retweets instead (X (Twitter)'s official recommendation). You can easily identify any duplicate posts in your Queue and edit them to create Variations.
Why should I categorise my posts?
By separating your content into Categories (e.g, Monday Motivation, My Blog Articles, Curated Blog Articles, Throwback Thursdays, Tutorials/How-Tos), you can pre-set the ratio and timings of different content types you publish, and you'll never need to think about manually balancing it out yourself. This ensures you're publishing a good variety of content at different times. Using the Posting Plan, you can visually balance your schedule of content. All that's left is to add posts to each Category in your content library.
How exactly does the AI caption writer work?
SmarterQueue’s AI Caption Writer instantly generates engaging, platform-tailored captions from your prompts. No more staring at a blank screen! Plus, you can rewrite existing captions to better resonate with your audience, saving you time and boosting engagement. It automatically detects which platform you're writing for, and crafts an appropriate social post for that platform.
How can I use SmarterQueue with my team?
SmarterQueue’s Team features let you easily manage users, set up multiple Workspaces, assign roles with different access, and write comments to your colleagues. Whether you're managing clients, projects, or team members, SmarterQueue makes teamwork seamless. You can create a separate Workspace for each client or brand that you manage, and assign different users to be Admins, Editors, or Clients of specific Workspaces. Collaborate seamlessly by using comments to ask for feedback, hand over work, and discuss posts - without switching between separate tools, as every conversation stays right where you schedule your content.
05. Analytics
Can I get reports emailed to me?
Yes! We'll email you a weekly overview of your follower growth and engagement. We'll be adding even more advanced report exports and delivery options in the future.
Can I see competitor analytics?
Yes! You can take a deep dive into your competitors’ social strategies. Analyze their Facebook Page posts, to find out their best times to post, get fresh content ideas, discover their most successful hashtags, and which mentions get them the most engagement.
What about link tracking?
It's all taken care of. We'll automatically add customisable UTM parameters to your links, letting you see in Google Analytics which website visitors came from which social posts, campaigns, and profiles. And your links will automatically be shortened, with click-tracking, if you connect a Bitly account.
