Can I see my posts before they are published?​

We schedule your posts into our Content Panel

You will receive an invitation to the Content Panel during your Onboarding Process.

Content Panel is:

✔️ Always included in your first month 

✔️ Included with some plans from month 2 onwards, or available as an add-on

If Content Panel is not part of your plan, you will not be able to preview your posts before they are published to your social media pages.


Can I still post to my own profiles?

Of course — you retain full access to your social media pages and can post as much or as little as you like.


Why is Instagram not included with all plans?

Instagram is a more complex platform and it takes us longer to plan, prepare, and create Instagram posts.

Instagram is a platform option with the Gold and Platinum Post Plans, or can be added to the Silver Posts Plan for £50 per month.


How many blog posts or newsletters do I get each month?

The Platinum Posts Plan includes up to 2x 500 word blogs or newsletters per month – or 1x 1,000 word blog or newsletter per month.

Other Posts Plans do not include blogs.

You can purchase an independent Custom SEO Blogs & Newsletters Plan and select the number of articles/words you need each month:

  • Up to 2 articles per month (1,000 words) — £140 per month
  • Up to 4 articles per month (2,000 words) — £280 per month
  • Up to 6 articles per month (3,000 words) — £420 per month
  • Up to 8 articles per month (4,000 words) — £560 per month


 

Where can I publish the blogs or newsletters?

Anywhere!

Most clients publish blogs to the blog section of their websites in order to drive their SEO, help their website rank on Google and generate more web visitors.

If you’re on a  Posts Plan, we’ll link to the blogs in your social media posts to supercharge your social content.

Most clients send out the newsletters to their mailing list (via their own mailing list software) or publish them as LinkedIn Newsletters.

 

Do I have to sign a contract?

No!

Before signing up, you’ll just need to agree to our Terms of Service and agree to provide 30-days’ notice to cancel or downgrade your plan. 

 

Do I need to set up a recurring subscription?

Yes

Payment for your plan is taken on a monthly, recurring basis. 

You’ll set up a recurring payment subscription and will be billed automatically on each recurring billing date. A VAT invoice will be sent to you after each payment has been made.

If you give your 30-days’ notice to cancel part-way through a billing period, any final payments will be prorated to cover the 30-day notice period.

 

What is your 30 day notice period?

We are able to offer our plans at such a competitive price because we prepare all campaigns 30 days in advance. We therefore require 30-days’ notice to cancel or downgrade a plan.
