Facebook can be a great way to reach potential customers and showcase the best that your business has to offer. So if you are an ambitious small business owner looking to make the most of your presence on social media, then using Meta Business Suite on Facebook could make a huge difference when it comes to maximising engagement with customers and growing your brand.

With this powerful suite of tools, you’ll be able to create targeted campaigns, access analytics and insights, schedule posts in advance, promote content across platforms – all in one place! And you guessed it, it’s completely free to use and these features run across both Facebook and Instagram platforms.

So considering the upcoming changes happening to Meta Business Suite’s planner, it’s a no-brainer to start using Meta Business Suite to boost your social media strategy!

If you’re looking for a scheduler that covers more than Facebook and Instagram platforms, then Postly might be your best social media management tool. It lets you schedule to YouTube, Telegram, and Reddit (other schedulers don’t always allow for this).

This free social media management software allows you to post to Instagram, Facebook (including groups), LinkedIn, TikTok, and other platforms. Plus the Ai Writer and hashtag generator speeds up the content creation process with catchy captions and descriptions.

We consider this social media management tool a ‘freemium’ option as Postly has a free account that will cover most of your social media management needs, you might benefit from one of their low cost options. Either way, we think Postly is a great alternative and you’ll be able to connect up to 10 social accounts and schedule 20 posts per month! Not bad, right?

You can also check out Later, Buffer, and Hootsuite if you’re looking to weigh up a long term solution for managing social media.

If you’ve put some budget aside for social media management, then one of the best management tools you can invest in is SocialPilot. Why? It’s probably the best value tool that includes as many platforms as socially possible and it includes insights that’s all in one place, saving you a lot of time on your social insights. 

Right now it covers Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google My Business, Tumblr, and TikTok – but they’re planning on adding more platforms in the future.

What else? You can manage both organic content and paid media management, give role-based user permissions and privileges (let’s say if you’re using an agency or have a team), real-time tracking, and there’s a mobile app so you can create and schedule on the go. We’ve used SocialPilot before, and their app is one of the best social media management tools on the market right now.
