How to Create and Manage Post in SocialBooster

Overview

SEO specialists say social postings get more interaction than direct or branded traffic links for products or services in competitive industries. Updating your Google My Business local listing, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts regularly can improve your local search result position and help you direct your clients through direct marketing on your search result pages.

You can save time and ensure that your messages are consistent across all your channels without making any more effort by sharing a post with SocialBooster to multiple locations at once.
