If using a desktop, Facebook Business Manage can help integrate and consolidate your workload when managing multiple pages for multiple clients. However, it can also be clunky when trying to use it on the go from a smartphone as the functionality is more limited. For those that sit at desks all day, it's a good program. For those of us that stay mobile, it can be frustrating.

If you don't want to have a complicated management of different platforms, and don't want to spend too much money on a social media management platform, Publer is the right thing for you. It's easy to use, and you can modify your package as you go, meaning if you want to add or remove accounts, you can do it one by one, no global thing needed. I really needed that, so I recommend it. You can also give access to someone to use it which is very useful for my community manager.

Cons
Meta Platforms Inc
  • The only thing I have noticed is when on my device, it calls out a list of names that have shared your post, and it only shows one. On the computer it will let you scroll down and see all of them.

I give Facebook Business Manager this rating because how I am able to edit and customize each client location page easily and can add users as needed without any hoops to jump through. I also appreciate the about of reach that Facebook has, so having a tool like this that's easy to use and can be in control of the backed of what people see is so important.

The few times I've had to reach out for ad questions, Facebook Pages customer service is prompt and friendly with their advice. I've never waited longer than 24 hours to get a response, and generally it's just a few hours. They're also quick at removing spam from my Pages when I've needed them to.

While we looked at different possibilities, it just seemed that this program was designed for our key social media platforms. There really was no point in utilizing a different program when this was designed for these platforms specifically. The mobile app is an added convenience that allows me to manage our social media on the go.

I like Publer because it posts PDF documents and other social media networks do not post PDF document so that's why I like Publer and I recommended because when you want to post a PDF document a lot of social media scheduler is just will not let you post PDFs and that's why I Publer is good because it last to post PDF document.

  • Most of our leads come from Facebook paid marketing.
  • Our business is centered around our content, which allows us to stand out from the completion. Facebook allows us to get the content in front of our audience.
  • Facebook Marketing is so dynamic that it takes loads of trial and error to get to a winning formula. And the errors can be expensive.

  • I can't really say specific numbers as I use it for awareness content
  • But it certainly saves me on weeks when I'm too busy to post on LinkedIn
  • Because I already have recycled posts in the queue so I look active even when I'm not
