What Makes SmarterQueue So Powerful

🎯 Make every platform feel intentional (not copy/paste).
In the Post Editor, start from one idea and customize everything per profile (caption, media, links, and more), so cross-posting feels native on every platform.
📅 Stay consistent without daily effort.
You don’t need to worry about manually choosing times for your posts. Organize content into Categories, then set your recurring weekly schedule in your Posting Plan. SmarterQueue auto-schedules posts from each Category into that plan, so you keep a balanced mix of content, week after week.
⏰ Get precision when timing matters.
Use Seasonal Categories to run campaigns across months, as well as specific launches, promos, and time-bound themes. Add the posts once, set the season, and they get auto-scheduled during the campaign window. And when you need exact timing for a specific post, choose one of the manual scheduling options.
🔁 Get more value from your best content without it feeling repetitive.
Evergreen recycling automatically repeats your strongest posts over time, so you get more engagement from existing content. And with Variations, you can swap in different captions or media so repeats stay fresh and you can compare performance.
✍️ Don’t let writer’s block break your plan.
The AI Assistant helps you generate caption ideas, rewrites, and variation angles, so you can keep moving even when you’re not feeling creative.
🧲 Keep your calendar full without constant content hunting.
Find Content and RSS/auto-importing help you pull in ideas and posts from the sources you rely on. CSV uploads and bulk actions help you build and refine lots of posts at once, so planning ahead doesn’t become “one post at a time.”
📊 Know what’s working, and why.
Analytics provides a myriad of performance charts and reports for SmarterQueue-published posts (including recycled content and SmarterQueue Boost), and allows you to export PDF reports. Profile Analytics lets you learn from all existing public posts on your feed, and you can even do competitor analysis.
👥 Scale to teams and clients without chaos.
Add multiple users to collaborate with your team or clients, then control access with roles and permissions. Use Workspaces to keep brands separate, and comments to keep feedback on the post, so teamwork stays organized and approvals don’t slow you down.

Write And Build Posts

Feature What it does & why it matters
Post Editor A unified post creation space for all connected platforms, with live previews and platform-relevant settings so you can confidently publish content that looks right everywhere.
Shared vs per-profile content customization Start with one post idea, then optionally tailor any or all details for each profile so repurposing stays fast and fits the platform.
Related posts Keep posts created together linked as a logical set for faster previewing and editing, even if each post is scheduled independently.
Captions & text handling Write within platform limits and formatting behaviours so posts don’t break unexpectedly at publish time.
First comments Publish a first comment automatically with the post, ideal for links, calls to action, or extra context without cluttering captions.
Snippets Save reusable blocks of text (CTAs, hashtag sets, disclaimers) to stay consistent and create faster at scale.
AI Assistant Generate or rewrite captions/first comments/snippets to keep cadence high and reduce “blank page” slowdown.
Drafts Save work-in-progress posts without scheduling them, so ideas don’t get lost and approvals don’t block creation momentum.
Hashtags Use hashtags in captions or first comments to support discoverability without sacrificing readability.
Hashtag Search tool Quickly generate relevant hashtag ideas (integrated flow) to improve topical reach.
Mentions Add @handles that pass through to platforms, supporting attribution, partnerships, and reach.
Emoji keyboard Add emojis quickly while previewing how they’ll appear per platform, helping make content more scannable and expressive.

Add And Manage Media

Feature What it does & why it matters
Add images, videos & GIFs to posts Attach media with platform-aware rules (including multi-image limits), helping posts publish cleanly and look right.
Media Library Store media once and reuse it - supports bulk uploading, media filtering and deletion, reuse, and consistent brand visuals.
Start a post from existing media Build posts around proven assets quickly, speeding up repurposing workflows.
Media sources & imports Add media via upload, links, imports, and free integrations like Pixabay, Unsplash, and Giphy (source-specific behaviour is handled inside the media feature).

Organize With Categories And Libraries

Feature What it does & why it matters
Categories Organize content into pillars so your schedule stays varied and your messaging stays balanced.
Seasonal Categories Run date-bound campaigns that automatically “pause” outside the season, so your calendar stays clean and your seasonal posts don’t publish at the wrong time.
Archived Categories Hide Categories you’re not using while preserving their posts and analytics, so you can retire campaigns without clutter and restore them later.
Content lifecycle & states Posts move through clear states (draft, upcoming, published, failed, paused, etc.) so teams can operate reliably.
Queue views + filtering Filter by status, profile, Category, scheduling type, and more - find what you need fast and reduce ops overhead.
Instagram Grid Visually plan your upcoming Instagram feed and drag-and-drop scheduled posts (within a Category) to keep your grid cohesive and on-brand.
Content Libraries Persist content beyond the active Queue so reuse and governance don’t depend on “what’s currently scheduled.”
Post Library Review, sort, and reuse posts based on performance, turning winners into repeatable patterns.

Schedule With The Posting Plan And Queue

Feature What it does & why it matters
Posting Plan (Timeslots) Set a recurring weekly schedule so posting happens consistently without daily manual scheduling.
Queue scheduling (Posting Plan) Queue-based publishing uses your Timeslots to automate publishing,  keeping content flowing predictably.
Set Date & Time scheduling Schedule posts for one or multiple specific moments (launches, promos, time-sensitive content).
Recurring schedules Publish at fixed intervals (distinct from Evergreen recycling).
Shuffle (Posting Plan posts) Reassign publish dates/times based on Timeslots without changing manual schedules, which helps rebalance a Queue quickly.
Pause controls Pause publishing for the whole Queue, specific Categories/profiles, or combinations, to protect brand safety during pivots.

Recycle Evergreen Content

Feature What it does & why it matters
Evergreen Recycling Automatically returns Evergreen posts to the bottom of the Queue after successful publishing, so your best content stays in rotation.
Minimum Time to Recycle Prevents content from repeating too soon by delaying posts that haven’t “waited long enough”, protecting audience experience.
Evergreen limits + expiration Control how many cycles a post runs or expire it after a date, keeping it fresh and seasonally appropriate.
Edit after publishing Update an Evergreen post any time and have changes apply to future cycles, for continuous improvement without rebuilding.

Keep Content Fresh With Variations

Feature What it does & why it matters
Post Variations (text + media) Rotate multiple versions of a post across publications to reduce repetition and learn what resonates.
Variation in cycling behaviour Variations publish sequentially, restart after completing the set, and can combine with Evergreen/recurring for ongoing freshness.
Variation performance insights Compare how versions perform over time, and A/B test different approaches to captions and media.
Feature What it does & why it matters
Link previews Preview how links will appear (and understand platform differences) so shared content looks professional.
Link preview troubleshooting Handle missing/incorrect previews and platform scraping differences to prevent ugly posts.
Bitly integration Shorten, customize, and track links for better measurement and cleaner posts.
Google Analytics UTM tracking Add UTMs for attribution so you can connect social effort to outcomes.

Find And Import Content At Scale

Feature What it does & why it matters
Find Content Find posts to reuse or curate from your connected profiles and external sources (Facebook Pages and Instagram Profiles you don't own, RSS/blogs/news feeds, YouTube channels/playlists, Google Alerts, Feedly), so you can keep your Queue full without starting from scratch.
Saved sources + folders Save frequently used sources and organize them into folders to turn discovery into a repeatable pipeline.
Auto-Importers (RSS) Automatically pull new content on a schedule with rules (filters, Category, profiles, draft/queue/ASAP), keeping your Queue stocked.
CSV Import (bulk upload) Import up to 500 posts at once (plan/add-on dependent) to launch campaigns fast or migrate content at scale.
Bulk Editor Review and customize imported posts in bulk with Post Editor-level controls for quality control at scale.
Bulk Actions Apply changes across many posts to save hours of repetitive work when managing large imports.

Measure Results And Export Analytics

Feature What it does & why it matters
Post-level analytics See metrics for each post published via SmarterQueue, including performance across repeat cycles (Evergreen) and SmarterQueue Boost (extra engagement your Evergreen post earned overall compared to sharing it only once), so you can spot winners worth recycling and improve what you repost.
Analyze per Profile Pull performance metrics for a single social profile overall, including content published natively or via other tools (not just SmarterQueue), so you can do a true “profile health” review and spot broader trends.
Analyze Overview Review results for content published via SmarterQueue within a selected timeframe, either for a single profile or by comparing multiple profiles using aggregate values and engagement charts, to evaluate the effectiveness of your SmarterQueue strategy.
Best Times To Post Available in Analyze per Profile (based on the profile’s available API data, including native/other publishing) and in Analyze Overview (based on SmarterQueue-published content), so you can choose between “best for the profile” vs “best for what we publish through SmarterQueue.”
PDF exports (Analyze Overview) Export client/stakeholder-ready PDFs from Analyze Overview, so reporting is fast, consistent, and easy to share.

Collaborate With Teams And Workspaces

Feature What it does & why it matters
Workspaces Keep brands/clients separate with their own Queues, Categories, Libraries, and Analytics, critical for agency scale.
Users & permissions Add team members, VAs, or clients and control access by role so you can delegate safely without sharing logins.
Comments Leave feedback/approvals directly on posts in the Post Editor or Queue, reducing back-and-forth.
Workspace-level settings Centralize publishing defaults, Evergreen settings, pause controls, and link tracking per Workspace to keep teams consistent.

Customize Defaults And Preferences

Feature What it does & why it matters
Default Posting Preferences Set default behavior for new posts (for example: Evergreen on/off, Minimum Time to Recycle, where new posts are added in the Queue, and other publishing defaults), so your workflow stays consistent and you save time on every post.
Timezone & Date/Time Preferences Set your timezone, date/time format, and whether your week starts on Monday or Sunday, so scheduling and planning views match how you work and reduce timing mistakes.
Link Tracking Defaults Set default link tracking with Bitly and Google Analytics UTMs, so attribution is consistent across posts without adding tracking settings every time.
