SmarterQueue — Smarter social media scheduling with awesome analytics

Hey everyone, Excited to be on Product Hunt today! I built SmarterQueue because I couldn’t find what I needed in a social media scheduling tool when I was launching my previous startup, and hundreds of other entrepreneurs and marketers I spoke with complained about the social media tools that they were using. The product has been rigorously tried and tested by our beta customers since then, and we've putt together something that will really help speed up your social media scheduling. It's made with startup founders and makers in mind, so you can spend less time worrying about social media, and more time growing your business. Thanks to @mnlfrgr from Maître Viral Referral Waiting List for being an early adopter and helping validate that the product works for busy founders! And @brianleejackson for writing an awesome early review about why he cancelled his Buffer and MeetEdgar subscriptions. 🎁 PRODUCT HUNT OFFER - As well as helping you save time, you can also save money with our special offer - we're giving away 2 FREE MONTHS. Use https://smarterqueue.com/producthunt to get your first 2 months absolutely free on our Agency plan (worth $160!). So what makes SmarterQueue different?

Absolute Game Changer! This is the BEST tool on the market to help you organize, schedule, and post across ALL platforms. We all know social media marketing can be a massive time consumer, but SmarterQueue has saved me thousands of man hours (and I'm not exaggerating) in posting. Seriously, everything you need to post, re-post, and manage your social media accounts is all in one place here. The extremely friendly user interface is unbelievable, anyone can use it, you don't need to be a tech expert. Want to keep sharing the same content without making it look like the same old thing each time? SmarterQueue is the answer. With the Evergreen feature, you can add different text variations to each image or post so it looks fresh each time! If you're just starting out with your brand you can't afford not to use SmarterQueue. Don't waste 10 hours a day on social media trying to keep up with all the posting, with SmarterQueue you can schedule it all in one place.

Can't recommend SmarterQueue enough 🙌 My partner and I swears by SmarterQueue and we've been using it to manage all of the accounts/entities we're involved in. We switched away from Hootsuite and have been using it since the early days when SQ was just focused on content curation, evergreen recycling, and analytics. @claudeschneider and team have been super responsive to bug fixes and feedback and there's been so many improvements since. Kudos on the launch! 🎉

I've tried most all of the top schedulers and came back to SmarterQueue. I run three businesses so it helps me to organise my content, make sure I am posting to all of my profiles, easily see gaps in the schedule and keep my best stuff on repeat. It is one of the essentials of my business tool box.

Pros:

Evergreen content, categories, posting plan, RSS feeds, multiple platforms, great interface. See the gaps in schedule, browser extension

Cons:

Instagram isn't auto posting (yet)

I switched to SQ over a year ago and couldn't be without it now. It's saved me hours and hours in scheduling and is so easy to make sure I get a good mix of content. It prompts when things run low and now that seasonal categories and copy/image variations are possible, it answers every single one of my needs.

Pros:

Calendar view, auto-recycling, copy and image variations, content curation, categories and just all round awesomeness!

Cons:

Cost, maybe. Nothing else really for me

Have used SmarterQueue for a while now. Can't recommend it enough for the busy startup founder.

I've been using this product for over a year, and it saved me HUNDREDS of hours of work!

Great product at a fair price - cheaper than most but with better features and far more advanced that Buffer for example

Pros:

Great time saver, loads of amazing features

Cons:

Not found any yet

Been using for a few months and had great results, minimal effort to maintain a steady social presence across our brands.

Pros:

Autopilot social, while able to keep control to maintain quality and interest

Cons:

None

Very useful tool to create a calendar of content across multiple social channels, quickly and easily. Saves a lot of time every week. Could do with some more tagging functionality to make posts more viral/shareable, but that's a small point.

great product, recommended.

Pros:

easy to use, great time saver

Cons:

reporting could be better

It's so good to see my socials alive and well every day. Get ready for some hard setup work (partic if you have only limited graphics, ideas and marketing resources) - but SQ looks after my socials admirably. Txs Team

Pros:

Easy re-cycles my best content, easy posting interface, handles files and uploads well.

Cons:

Not automatic posting to IG. Categories and how they work on the posting plan to me a while to get used to.

Honestly love this scheduling tool; use it everyday for all my different clients and recommend it regularly.

Pros:

Categories to help spread similar eg "self-promotion" or "blog" content out. Posting same copy with different images. Easy to use.

Cons:

Can't give clients access to see the content I've made for them, because they would then have access to all other clients accounts.

I've used a number of social media schedulers in the past, and this is hands-down the most useful for the price. The nicest thing to me is how responsive the development team is to customer feedback; it's baked into everything they do, and it shows with the transparent product roadmap that is always kept updated (and an always updated board that allows customers to upvote features they would use.) The co-creation aspect has made the product exceptionally powerful for even the most entry level price point, and the flexible pricing allows one to focus on what they need most from the tool rather than one-size-fits-all.

Pros:

This is the perfect combination of set-it-and-forget-it ease and powerful analytics and content discovery.

Cons:

Can't wait for even more functionality that is on the roadmap, but not yet baked in.

I love SmarterQueue. It's really intuitive and does the boring work for me

Pros:

beautiful and intuitive

Cons:

can be pricey for a tiny startup but totally worth it!

I just love this platform and the people behind it. They respond, the fix stuff if you ask, and the platform is super powerful. I love it already, but then when I passed the number of queued posts for the pricing plan I was on I was blown away when they let me individually change limits within the pricing plan for small increments in price rather than having to jump to a higher plan with other limits I didn't need so high. Simple things like that make this better than all the others.

Pros:

Easy interface, useful posting features, incredibly flexible pricing, best Pinterest posting ever. I LOVE THIS APP

Cons:

Had to wait for Pinterest capability but now it's here...so no real cons.

Creating a publishing plan with smarterqueue has never been easier.

Pros:

Saves time, increasing sells

Cons:

Nothing

Love Smarterqueue! Great platform to schedule content for marketing material. Love that you can easily integrate multiple sites (Facebook, Instagram) and even post to multiple business pages as well. Great resource!

Pros:

Visual platform, step by step setup, color coded, customizable to individual needs

Cons:

Learning curve to set up (though they walk you through it); Hoping for auto-post to IG soon, too.

The solution SmarterQueue provided to create evergreen posts and categorizing with time slots was life saving for my team and I. I'm able to focus on the content and copywriting for the posts rather than thinking of when to schedule it all.

Pros:

Having categories and the ability to pre-schedule time slots for our content calendar helped reduce the time spent on scheduling.

Cons:

Some features are still coming.

I tell all my fellow bloggers about this product. After trialing Agorapulse and Hootsuite, SmarterQueue came out on top AND was significantly cheaper, which is big for a blogger just starting out. Recently one of my blogger friends started using it months after I'd told her about it, and she told me she wished she'd started using it a lot sooner!

I was a customer of SmarterQueue before I joined the team as a developer.

I tried Hootsuite and Buffer before, but neither was as nice to use or as powerful as SmarterQueue. I didn't really need a social media management tool for my Facebook group, but when I read my friend's review of SmarterQueue, I just knew I had to try it.

Pros:

Categories and content recycling keep my posts varied and interesting!

Cons:

No real cons - many features that I haven't had time to try / implement yet
