Gramblr is not working anymore, and seems to have shut down.
Here is a Gramblr alternative for posting to Instagram.
How to schedule Instagram posts
To schedule Instagram posts, you need a social media scheduling tool like OneUp.
In OneUp, first connect your Instagram account:
In the Schedule Post dropdown, choose “Schedule a post”.
Choose which account you want to schedule this post to, and create your post:
Then choose to either post once or repeat this post, and either “Post Now” or schedule it for a future date and time.
Single image posts, multi-image posts (AKA carousel), video posts, and Instagram Stories are all supported with OneUp, on both Personal and Business Instagram accounts 😊
This post goes over whether Google My Business posts help with SEO.
Google My Business, sometimes shortened to GMB, has provided the ability to publish posts to your Google My Business account. This is somewhat similar to a social media post, except it shows up in the Google search results.
If you are reading this, it probably means you are at least familiar with Google My Business posts. Your questions are probably something like:
Should I be taking the time to post on Google My Business?
Are there SEO benefits to posting on Google My Business?
Are Google posts worth my time and effort?
After all, Google My Business posts expire after 7 days, so it can be somewhat annoying to remember to post something new at least once a week.
In addition, Google My Business does not offer a way to schedule posts for the future natively, nor a way to publish the same post across multiple GMB locations at the same time.
(However, OneUp allows you to schedule Google posts for the future, set them to automatically repeat, and to post across multiple locations at once. More on OneUp at the bottom.)

Google My Business SEO case studies
Case Study #1
Kyle runs an SEO agency, and was able to get his client ranked in multiple cities in just a short time by utilizing Google My Business posts. This has led to a 54.94% increase in organic traffic for his client compared to the previous period.
Watch Kyle’s video for a full explanation of his process:
Case Study #2
In this study from Seach Engine Land, Joy states that using Google My Business posts moved the business into the top 3 positions of Google, also known as the 3-pack.
For this business, we saw their ranking in the local results increase one position on “garage flooring Vancouver.” It moved up from position four to position three, winning them a spot in the 3-pack, less than a week after they started posting.
For just “garage flooring” (implicit search), they increased from position seven to two about four days after the posts started. I double-checked to make sure they didn’t receive any new reviews a few days prior to the increase, since they did receive a few new reviews during the course of the test.
Joy also talks about a church moving from the 5th spot to the 3rd spot in Google just by using Google My Business posts.
Case Study #3
In this study published on the Moz blog, they looked at the companies that rank in the top 20 of the search results for local searches in major cities for these keywords:
real estate agent, mortgage, travel agency, insurance or insurance agents, dentist, plastic surgeon, personal injury lawyer, plumber, veterinarian or vet, and locksmith
Their findings: A total of 59.60% of businesses that rank in the top 20 for these terms have posted a Google My Business Post on their Google My Business profile.
Additionally, 17.5% of businesses had an active post in the last 7 days.
While it may not prove it with absolute certainty, it leads one to believe that Google My Business posts certainly do have a positive effect on SEO.
Case Study #4
The question was raised whether Google My Business posts help with traffic on this SEO subreddit, and many people responded saying that they have seen positive results from using GMB posts.
Need an easy way to schedule and automatically repeat Google My Business posts?
The fact that your Google My Business posts expire after 7 days means that you have to constantly go back into GMB and post something week after week, again and again.
The solution: schedule out your Google My Business posts weeks or even months ahead of time.
The process is simple. Just connect your Google My Business account on the Accounts page.
Then schedule your GMB post, optionally adding any link or image to the post.
Then add your Call-To-Action button and a link.
In addition to just scheduling posts, OneUp allows you to set GMB posts to automatically repeat at custom intervals — such as once a week or once a month.
This allows you to reap the benefits of being active on Google My Business, without the hassle of constantly going back in every week to manually post something once your post expires.
Then choose to post it now, or schedule it for a date in the future.
Here is what the post looks like inside your Google My Business account:
And here is what the post looks like on the Google search results page:
You are reading this because you have a LinkedIn page for your company, and you want to know how to comment on other people’s posts as your company.
Here is how you can do it.
How to comment on other people’s posts as a company page on LinkedIn
Go to your LinkedIn company page
Click the pencil icon in the “Community Hashtags” section
Add your hashtags
Click on one of the hashtags you will see trending posts related to that hashtag
You will now be able to comment as your company page on any of the trending posts
Here is how to comment as a company page on Linkedin with screenshots:
Go to your LinkedIn company page
2. On the right side of your company page, you will see “Community Hashtags”. Click the pencil.
3. You can now add up to 3 hashtags relevant to your company and industry that you would like to follow.
4. After adding your hashtags, you will see how many people follow each of the hashtags. If you added a hashtag that only a few people follow, you can always edit your choices and swap in a new hashtag.
5. Click on one of the 3 hashtags you have added, and you will be taken to a feed of trending posts with that hashtag. Click on Comment, and you will notice that you are now commenting and liking as your company page.
6. Start commenting 😊
You can always edit which Community Hashtags you are following, so feel free to swap in new hashtags to find more content relevant to your company and your industry.
And that is how to comment as a company page on LinkedIn 🤓
Hootsuite supports Google My Business posts, but does not let you schedule posts for the future. Here is how you can schedule and automatically repeat your Google My Business posts.
Google My Business is an easy way for businesses to stand out in local SEO, and posts on GMB have been shown to increase traffic and improve search rankings.
However, the fact that your Google My Business posts expire after 7 days means that you have to constantly go back into GMB and post something week after week, again and again.
The solution: schedule out your Google My Business posts weeks or even months ahead of time.
The issue, however, is that very few social media schedulers work with Google My Business, and the ones that do work charge upwards of $50/month, which is a big hit to take for many businesses.
Hootsuite only supports Google My Business posts for posting immediately at that time, which you can already do natively in Google My Business. Hootsuite does not allow you to schedule Google My Business posts for the future.
However, OneUp allows you to schedule and automatically repeat your Google My Business posts, in addition to Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
With OneUp, you can schedule posts across multiple GMB accounts and locations at the same time, and set up a rotation of posts to repeat automatically, so that your Google My Business posts are completely automated.
The process is simple. Just connect your Google My Business account on the Accounts page.
Then schedule your GMB post, optionally adding any link or image to the post.
Then add your Call-To-Action button and a link.
In addition to just scheduling posts, OneUp allows you to set GMB posts to automatically repeat at set intervals — such as once a week or once a month.
This allows you to reap the benefits of being active on Google My Business, without the hassle of constantly going back in every week to manually post something once your post expires.
Then choose to post it now, or schedule it for a date in the future.

This post goes over how to post to Facebook, Twitter, and Google My Business at the same time.
For anyone that posts the same thing to Facebook, Twitter, and Google My Business, you know how annoying it can be to switch between all 3, copying and pasting the same post on each of them.
Instead of doing that, here is how you can post to Facebook, Twitter, and Google My Business at the same time.
OneUp is a social media scheduling tool that allows you to schedule and automatically repeat your posts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google My Business, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.

Adding Google My Business CTA buttons – You can add a Call-To-Action button if your Google My Business account is included in your scheduled post.

RSS feed automation – If there are any blogs, publications, podcasts, or YouTube channels that put out good content consistently, you can add the RSS feed links in OneUp, then whenever new content is posted from those places, it is automatically shared to the pages you select.

This post shows you how to manage more than 5 Instagram accounts.
For anyone who manages more than one Instagram account, you know the struggle of constantly switching back and forth between accounts.
However, it becomes even more of a headache once you hit 5 Instagram accounts, because that is the limit for how many you can manage on a mobile device. Some people buy multiple phones just so they can manage more than 5 Instagram accounts.
That is crazy.
If you need an easy way to schedule and post photos to more than 5 Instagram accounts from a computer instead of managing it all from your smartphone, check out OneUp.
OneUp allows you to easily post to multiple Instagram accounts at the same time, and to schedule out posts weeks and months into the future. You can add hashtags and @tag other users in the description, and you can even schedule Instagram Stories with OneUp.
OneUp is an affordable and convenient way to manage multiple Instagram accounts. OneUp also supports Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Google My Business.
This post shows you how to schedule repeating posts on Facebook Pages.
Many Facebook Page admins often have themed posts for each day of the week, where followers engage with the post based on the theme. Some of the ones I have seen are:
It’s Monday, what are you working on today?
Happy Friday! What are your plans for the weekend?
Or you might have posts that you want to repeat every few months, or even once a year on the exact same date.
Here is how you can automate those posts so that you just set your posts to repeat, and they automatically post again at the interval you set.
How to schedule repeating posts on Facebook pages
Connect your Facebook account to OneUp
Click “Schedule a post”
Select which Facebook account(s) you want to post to
Create your post
Choose how often you want your Facebook post to repeat
Post it now, or schedule your repeating Facebook post for a later date
Here are those steps with screenshots:
OneUp is a Facebook-approved social media scheduling tool that allows you to repeat posts at set intervals .
Using OneUp you can click the Facebook button to connect your Pages and Groups.
Once your Page is connected, you are set to schedule a post. You can choose to post to multiple Facebook Pages, Groups, or other social networks at the same time. (For Facebook Groups, you must be the admin of the Group for OneUp to work)
You can add links, images, and videos to your post.
After, choose whether or not you want the post to repeat. You can choose any repeat interval you want. For example, this post will repeat once a week, and it will stop posting after it has been posted 5 times.
Then choose to post it now, or schedule it for the future.
OneUp makes it easy to schedule repeating posts on Facebook Pages, making an admin’s job much easier. Check it out at:
