Frequently Asked Questions

How do I include a link to a website page in my post?

When customizing your post, add the full website URL to the accompanying text.

For example, you might include a link to your services page, a helpful blog article, or your online appointment booking page.

Tip: Instagram captions don’t generally support clickable website links. For Instagram posts, consider directing followers to the website link in your Instagram bio.


How do I add hashtags to my posts?

Simply type your hashtags directly into the post text when customizing your content.

For example: #HealthySmiles #DentalCare #YourPracticeName

Choose hashtags that are relevant to your post and your practice.


Is there a limit to how many posts I can schedule?

You can use Get Social to plan and schedule content in advance. Keep in mind that social networks may have their own publishing limits or restrictions.

For the best results, focus on sharing a consistent mix of helpful, engaging, and relevant content rather than posting too frequently.


Can I edit or delete a post after it's been published?

Once a post has been published to Facebook or Instagram, it can no longer be edited through the Get Social scheduler.

To make changes to a published post, you’ll need to visit the social media platform directly.

Stay Connected With Your Audience

Scheduling your posts is just one part of building an engaging social media presence!

Remember to check your Facebook and Instagram notifications regularly so you can respond to questions, comments, and messages in a timely manner.

Engaging with your audience helps build relationships and keeps your practice connected with your community.
