Users with "Admin" and "Member" permission role will get notifications about all actions on hidden posts, the same as it works for traditional post comments (learn more post comments here).

Please note that Reporting is presented per one page, meaning that we do not provide total stats for all the connected pages. To access a report, simply choose a page you want report for and you will see the numbers to the right momentarily. 

Next, choose the period of time that your client requires it for:

• custom
  
  
• last 7 days
  
  
• last 30 days
  
  
• last 3 months

What do the numbers mean?

Now that you chose the necessary period of time, you can see the data divided in 4 key metrics:

• Total Likes
  
  
• Total Reach
  
  
• Total Engagement
  
  
• Total Posts Published

You see not only the numbers of the given period, but also previous time frame percents of the same duration for comparison.

For example, if you select last 7 days, percentage to the right will mean data of the previous 7 days.  

In order to get a detailed overview of the received numbers in each of the four sections, just scroll down the page.

If you want to create a post for a particular day and time, click on New Post button to select an appropriate time slot.

3. Go to Create Image and start creating your art work from scratch.

Now, create your piece of content and choose one of the publishing options.

Go to Editor and click on the Uploads tab. You will find folders related to Workspace that you’ve joined, as well as the Personal Uploads folder. 

A new workspace folder appears automatically when you create or join one - displaying the workspace name and logo. It is automatically shared and can be managed by all members.  

The name on the Personal Uploads folder is pretty self-explanatory. Images that you upload from your computer are automatically saved there. All files stored in this folder are available and visible to only you. Until you join a workspace, this is the folder where you will find your visuals.   

Once you create or become a member of a workspace, the Uploads section is divided into Personal Uploads and Workspace folders you collaborate with. Any uploads unrelated to your workspaces will be stored in Personal Uploads.  

How do I add files to the Workspace Uploads Folder? 

Click on the Upload button or just drag and drop files to the Uploads section.  

Please note: You are allowed to upload an unlimited number of files in .png, .jpg and .jpeg formats; maximum size of each file should be less than 15 Mb.   

If you already participate in at least one workspace, and your visual is ready to be used or saved, the Save Image window will appear. Just choose the Workspace you want to save it to.

How can I manage Workspace Uploads?

The Workspace Uploads files are sorted by date - with the new ones always at the top.  

When you hover over a picture, you'll see two small icons emerge: 'Delete' and 'Options'.  

Clicking on 'Options' will open the Save Image menu. Feel free to select any other folder to share the file to. A copy of this file will be added to the selected Workspace.

Next you'll see the schedule with some slots listed already. 

As you might know, Time Slots are slots for posts with a defined time and category. Basically, these are the time options for you to choose so posts are published accordingly. 

Time slots are divided into categories based on the types of content suggestions per your weekly content plan.  

• Promotional 
  
  
• Engaging
  
  
• Educational
  
  
• Motivational & Fun
  
  
• Article

Now that you have manual mode on to customise the scheme, add Time Slots manually. You can choose:

• Quantity of days: either 7 or just one;  
  
  
• Types of content to post on a particular day;
  
  
• How many posts to publish on the selected days;
  
  
• Accurate time in each time slot.
  
  

Click on 'Add Slot' button to get into Time Slots settings.

In 'Content type' and 'Time to post' drop down menu you can choose the type of content and time of a particular slot.

Duplicating this slot to other days means that, for example, Motivational&Fun piece of content is planned on 12:00 am on the days chosen. 

To add a different type of slot to other days or the same one, click on 'Add Slot' button once again. Choose the desired days and time and finish by clicking 'Add'. 

If you wish to delete a slot you are free to do that. 

If you wish to clear the slots, there is an appropriate button below the timetable. But please note that you need to have at least one slot turned on, otherwise you won't be able to save the schedule empty (the button will be grayed out).

Once you finished tuning up the timetable, it will be represented in the Calendar. 

Now, there are two ways to use the tool: 

•  Hit 'New Post' button on a specific day and schedule the piece of content for that day; 
  
  
• Create a post from any other section apart from Calendar and hit the 'Add To Queue' button. The post will then take the nearest available slot.

We put together the best time to post and types of content to share so it is easier to expand your reach on Social Media. 

Through our proprietary AI tech, we are able to analyze your followers engagement and suggest you the best time to post based on their activity. We do this by analyzing your industry, page, and location. Based on your page industry, you are also prompted with the combination of the most relevant types of content to share with your followers.  

Moreover, time slots are divided into categories based on the types of content that you are suggested to use for your weekly content plan: 

• Promotional 
  
  
• Engaging
  
  
• Educational
  
  
• Motivational&Fun
  
  
• Article

Time slots provide you with more flexibility and help you plan efficiently.  

How do I use Time Slots?  

There are several ways you can use Time Slots: 

1. Schedule content to a particular slot in the Calendar; 
   
   
2. Add posts to queue under Manual Schedule;
   
   
3. Add posts to queue in Autopilot Mode.

Schedule directly to a time slot

Right now, you can access Time Slots directly from the Calendar. By this we mean that you can schedule your content to a specific slot.

For example, on Wednesday, August 21, at 4:46 PM you want to share a Blog post with your followers. 

You simply go to the Calendar, click the blue 'New Post' button, which signifies the best time to post and the most relevant content type to share at the selected time. 

The next step is to choose a template from the list.

'Edit And Schedule' prompts you to use Editor and schedule this post afterwards. 

'Create Post From Scratch' stands for creating a post from scratch by going to the Editor.

Regardless of the button you click on, the result will be the same:  

• Time and date of the post to be published is highlighted under the image; 
  
  
• With a 'Schedule' button you are prompted to schedule the post for a particular time slot.

This is it, you have scheduled the post! Now, check it in your calendar.

How does it work? 

Access the active workspace in the dashboard from the top bar menu. Click on the workspace icon to open a list of your workspaces. Select the required dashboard. Find the workspace settings and choose the period of time you would like to view.  

You can compare data either week-over-week or month-over-month. The default settings will display the data for one week.  

What data is displayed in the Dashboard? 

Highlights. The essential metrics of social media performance on each of the connected pages to the selected Workspace: 

• Total Number of Followers; 
  
  
• Reach - The number of times any content from the page was displayed on the user's screen (available for Facebook pages and LinkedIn Companies). Numbers of the given period are compared to the numbers of the previous period;
  
  
• Engagement - The number of times people took positive action on your Page (likes, shares, comments). Numbers of the given period are compared to the numbers of the previous period.

When you hover over each block of the page, you can see the link to the page on social, link to the Calendar and Reports. There is no Report link for LinkedIn profiles and Google My Business locations.

How can I see the detailed information about the Page Performance? 

Scroll down in the Dashboard to see the detailed information. The statistics on page performance are divided into two blocks:  

• Social Media Performance shows the data for a set period in the past; 
  
  
• Schedule Status shows the planned activities for the page.

Social Media Performance

In this section, you can see a comparison of the number of new followers, engagement, and reach for the current week or month and the one before. The number of Posts Published and Not Approved Posts are also displayed here. Not Approved Posts are the posts that were not approved on time. 

When you connect the page for the first time, you will only see the total numbers. The rest of data will upload later, because system requires time to accumulate data in order to show you the performance progress. 

Schedule Status 

In this section, you can see the number of Posts Waiting for Approval and Scheduled Posts: 

Posts Waiting for Approval are posts that haven't been approved yet; 

Scheduled Posts are all the other posts, excluding Posts Waiting for Approval and drafts.

Settings

At the bottom of the dashboard, you will find two sections where you can modify your pages and members' permissions. This can help you improve workspace efficiency.  

Important 

If you haven't created a workspace and/or haven't connected pages yet, you won't see the workspace performance. Check this article to learn how you can create a workspace. 

Statistics are not available for LinkedIn profiles and Google My Business locations, but still you will see the pages in the dashboard. 

Follow this guide to create a workspace and tweak it the way you need. 

1. Click on the top right corner in your YDA Social Dashboard and move cursor downwards. An additional window will emerge with the blue Create Workspace button. Go ahead and hit it! 

2. Create a new workspace, adding its name and industry. 

3. Then you will be redirected to the workspace settings, where you can: 

• Adjust the its logo; 
  
  
• Add collaborators;
  
  
• Connect your social pages.

You can change the workspace name, industry and logo as often as necessary. We recommend uploading the company logo to identify your client easily.

In order to add a collaborator, click on the plus icon in the Connected Pages and Teammates section.  

Insert your collaborator's email in the appropriate box and hit Add. Also decide on the role you will assign: Member, Admin or Client. 

Please note that the total number of the workspace participants regardless of their role is 5. It means that you, as the workspace owner, can add 4 participants.  

In order to add a page to the workspace, find the blue Connect More Pages button. Once clicked, you will be prompted with the social platforms to connect: 

• Facebook (business pages or groups); 
  
  
• Twitter;
  
  
• Instagram;
  
  
• LinkedIn (personal profile or business pages);
  
  
• Pinterest boards;
  
  
• Google My Business locations.

There are 3 important factors to note when adding pages to a workspace: 

• Once a page is within a workspace, you can't connect it in Unassigned Pages. Or vice versa.
  
  
• The quantity of workspaces to create or participate in is unlimited, but limited by 5 members per workspace.
  
  
• If you participate in a workspace as a member or an admin, pages within there are counted as yours, so you can't connect more.

To get to Workspaces, click on Your profile and choose 'Workspaces' in the dropdown menu.   

Get an overview of a list of all your Workspaces that you manage, search, and filter. You can also switch between Workspaces.  

Dashboard top menu:

• Search bar - search your Workspace Name for quick access   
  
  
• Country Filter - choose a country (or a few of them) to display on the dashboard. Clicking on Filter will open a dropdown with a list of countries from your Workspaces. (In case there are pages from a few countries in one Workspace, this Workspace will be displayed in each of these countries)
  
  
• Create Workspace - click to start a new Workspace.

Dashboard columns: 

• Name - displays Image and Name, click on the Workspace Name to redirect to Workspace Dashboard. (can be sorted by alphabet (from A-Z, Z-A) 
• Members - displays the number of Members in the Workspace (can be sorted by the number of Workspace members (from larger to smaller and vice versa)
• Pages - displays icons of connected pages, click on the page icon to redirect to its content calendar (can be sorted by the number of connected pages in Workspace (from larger to smaller and vice versa)
• Posting Activity - displays the total number of published posts that were created from pages connected to Workspace during last week/month (can be sorted by the number of connected pages in Workspace (from larger to smaller and vice versa)

Workspaces list-view is available for Agency users only (Professional plan). Users with "client" role permissions are not able to see "Workspaces" tab in drop-down menu.

As you know, with the multiposting feature, you can schedule posts to several social media pages or several workspaces at the same time.  

Technically, scheduling a post to multiple pages within one or several workspaces, automatically creates a separate copy of this post for each of the selected pages. These are now connected posts. You'll get a prompt about this when you schedule this way for the first time (check the picture below). 

IMPORTANT:  

Only the author of the posts can delete them in bulk. Other users can only remove the posts that they scheduled to the pages and/or workspaces that they manage. 

So, how can you actually delete posts? It's pretty simple! 

1. Choose the post that you want to remove and click on the red delete button.  

2. Next, choose Delete All Connected Posts from the two options. 

If you're not the author of the post, this button will be disabled, giving you the ability to Delete Only This Single Post. 

IMPORTANT: The bulk delete option is available for scheduled, proposed for approval, failed to approve and draft posts, but it is unavailable for published posts.

Regardless of the way you start - either from the Editor or Calendar or Post Ideas section - you finish at the pre-posting stage, where you are to select a social page. Feel free to tick more than one network at the top, as pictured below. 

Similarly you can choose several social platforms when reposting your content. But be advised that Multiposting can't be applied to scheduled posts, but only to the published ones.

IMPORTANT: Please keep in mind that visuals do not resize automatically when choosing various social platforms, because their post sizes are optimized differently. So pictures might not look the same in the feed as on the preview step in your YDA Social Dashboard dashboard.  

If you wish to duplicate a post in a different way, for instance, by doubling an existing piece of content, we're sorry to say, but we don't provide this feature as of now. In case you would prefer such an option, just let us know!

Follow this step-by-step tutorial to learn more: 

1. Once your template is ready, you get to the Post Editor menu, where you choose the pages to publish it to. 

2. Click on a small arrow icon (as shown below), if you desire to publish your post to several Workspaces.  

3. A pop-up window with list all the Workspaces and Unassigned Pages. 

4. Hit a necessary page icon that you need to post the image to. 

We have figured out that some mobiles do not receive the codes directly from Instagram and there is nothing we can do.

So the only way is to delete the mobile number from your Instagram profile and receive the verification code by email.

This code is sent directly from Instagram.

Here are the steps to follow: 

1. Go to your Instagram account on mobile and click "Edit Profile"

2. Check the # of the mobile and if everything seems right just remove it from your profile and leave only the email, so the code would be sent to the email. After, you can add the mobile # again

3. Try to reconnect Instagram Direct

Log in to social.yourdigitalagency.com.au 

You'll see a pop-up window. You need to enter the login and password of the Instagram page and input the security code that will be sent to your email.

Please note that the security code will be needed just this once to connect the page to your platform.

You are ready to direct post!

Go to the Editor and click on the Uploads tab. You will find folders related to each Workspace that you’ve joined, as well as the Personal Uploads folder. 

A new workspace folder appears automatically when you create or join one - displaying the workspace name and logo. It is automatically shared and can be managed by all members.  

The name on the Personal Uploads folder is pretty self-explanatory. Images that you upload from your computer are automatically saved there. All files stored in this folder are available and visible to only you. Until you join a workspace, this is the folder where you will find your visuals.   

Once you create or become a member of a workspace, the Uploads section is divided into Personal Uploads and Workspace folders you collaborate with. Any uploads unrelated to your workspaces will be stored in Personal Uploads.  

How do I add files to the Workspace Uploads Folder? 

Click on the Upload button or just drag and drop files to the Uploads section.  

Please note: You are allowed to upload an unlimited number of files in .png, .jpg and .jpeg formats; maximum size of each file should be less than 15 Mb.   

If you already participate in at least one workspace, and your visual is ready to be used or saved, the Save Image window will appear. Just choose the Workspace you want to save it to. 

How can I manage Workspace Uploads? 

The Workspace Uploads files are sorted by date - with the new ones always at the top.  

When you hover over a picture, you'll see two small icons emerge: 'Delete' and 'Options'.  

Clicking on 'Options' will open the Save Image menu. Feel free to select any other folder to share the file to. A copy of this file will be added to the selected Workspace. 

Workspace Uploads are available in the plans with the Workspaces Feature such as Standard and Professional.

To access My Ideas, click on Content in the top-bar menu and choose My Ideas. 

Here you will find folders related to each Workspace you are a member of, as well as the Personal Uploads folder.

Each folder's name corresponds to the name of a Workspace, where content is stored. When you join a Workspace, a folder will automatically appear in the My Ideas section. It is automatically shared and can be managed by all members, except users with a Client role.  

Personal Ideas storage is pretty self-explanatory. All the files stored in this folder are visible to only you, and you can't share it with others. 

How can I add content to My Ideas?

Go to My Ideas, select the Workspace you want to create a template for and hit the 'Create' button.  

You will be redirected to the post form, where one of the options is to save the image to My Ideas by clicking the appropriate button, as shown below. 

Next, feel free to add the post to one or multiple workspaces. Note that the image will be saved as a separate item in each of the selected folders. 

At this stage, you can decide which social platform size to assign to your visual.  

Another way to add an idea to My Ideas folder is to hover over the template you like in the Library and click on the appropriate button, as shown below.  

What can I store in My Ideas?

You can store all types of content available for publishing via YDA Social Dashboard:

• Images
  
  
• Multiple images (up to 4)
  
  
• Videos
  
  
• GIFs
  
  
• Texts
  
  
• Links
  
  
• Drafts
  
  
• Templates from the Post Ideas Library

How can I view content in My Ideas?

You can sort content by creation (from recent to oldest and vice versa) and numbers of usage (most and least used).

When you hover over the images stored, you will see:

• Which user added it;
  
  
• Social networks it is assigned to;
  
  
• Numbers of usage;
  
  
• Latest date when it was used.

How can I use the content from My Ideas?

It's pretty simple! Move your cursor on the desired picture and hit the Use button.

If you need to edit this picture, find the Edit button when hovering over it, as shown below.

Once editing is done, click on the Save As button and choose "Save to My Ideas". Your updated visual will be saved as a new one.

Lastly, with the Options button you can:

• Add the idea to another Workspace;
  
  
• Add or delete social networks for the current idea;
  
  
• Delete the idea.

My Ideas Feature is available for Agency Collaboration Platform users only.

Many social networks now offer verification to large influencers and brands. In most cases, the social media site will request some of your personal info to verify that you are who you say you are, and in return will place a small 'official' badge next to your name. This badge gives your audience trust in your account, in turn improving interaction and helping you build your following. 

However, over the past year, some platforms have changed their attitude about verification and those iconic checkmark badges. The unintended consequence is that some users end up believing that a verified account is endorsed by the platform. As you'll see, different platforms attempt to address the verification process and avoid a full blown endorsement of the individual or brand. 

ORIGINAL SOURCE: SOCIAL REPORT

In this article, we'll show you how to get verified on all of the major social networks that you can, and discuss the process and eligibility requirements. 

Twitter 

Twitter was the first social network to start issuing verifications. Verified accounts show a small blue checkmark next to their name, and the process for becoming verified is pretty easy: just make sure your account is completely filled out and send over examples of your web properties.

But we have some disappointing news for you.  

Twitter has paused all new account verifications since early 2018 😢 

Yeah, you read that right. In February 2018, the micro-blogging network decided to pause verifications for new accounts while it worked on a new verification program. 

Since then, no further details have been released, so we'll have to sit tight and hope that 2020 brings the advent of a new Twitter verification program. 

We'll keep you updated. 

Facebook 

Facebook is the largest (and arguably most important) social networks for business. So naturally, it has a relatively straightforward verification process.

There are two types of Facebook verification: blue badges and gray badges. 

Blue badges are only for the following categories of people: 

• Journalists 
  
  
• Popular Brand or Businesses
  
  
• Government Officials
  
• Celebrities
   
  
• Media
  
  
• Entertainment
  
  
• Sports Companies

If you have a compelling reason to be verified, high-quality content, and a large amount of press surrounding your brand, you can submit for verification.  

Once you're verified, your brand will have a small blue checkbox next to its name. Unfortunately, however, this doesn't carry over to its sister social network, Instagram. 

To get verified, just do this: 

1. Make sure your cover photo, logo, and profile info are completely up-to-date 
   
   
2. Fill out this form and wait for a response from Facebook

Gray badges are only for business pages, and were introduced in 2015 as a way for businesses to confirm they’re authentic. The approval process is much shorter (about 48 hours) and the requirements are a lot less stringent. 

Note: Facebook is phasing out gray badges “based on user feedback,” so you can no longer apply for it. Instead, Facebook encourages businesses to authenticate their profiles by linking to them on official websites, updating profile imagery, and making sure contact information is accurate. 

YouTube

Did you know YouTube has a verification process?

It’s not as well known as some other platforms, and it’s different than the standard email verification process YouTube requires if you want to upload a video longer than 15 minutes.  

We’re talking about the gray check mark that official channels of creators, artists, companies, or public figures verified by YouTube to help, “distinguish official channels from other channels with similar names on YouTube.” 

You can normally apply for verification once you’ve surpassed 100,000 subscribers, but the program is currently down until the winter. This happened after proposed some changes to the verification process that frustrated creators and fans so much that the changes were promptly recalled.  

The future of the verification program is currently a little up in the air. You can learn more about that here, but until they announce the new program, you can’t apply for verification. Stay tuned!  

TikTok

As the successor to the now-defunct video platform Vine (RIP), TikTok blew up among the younger set for its fun, bite-sized videos. But it also attracted larger-than-life stars, which necessitated a verification program. 

These days, there are two types of verification on TikTok: verified users and popular users. Becoming a verified user requires that you’re a person of note or an actual celebrity, so it’s probably out of your reach (for now!). 

Becoming a popular user is easier, but more mysterious. The TikTok support team needs to pick you out as someone who consistently makes great content on the site. There isn’t a page where you apply for the status, it simply happens to you. 

So, your best bet is to make fun content that people love and buzz about. Or, reach Rihanna-level stardom. Whichever comes first.  

Instagram

Instagram launched its verification program in mid-2018. When you're verified, a small blue checkmark will appear next to your name on the Instagram website and mobile app like on Twitter and Facebook.

Anyone can apply to be verified in the Instagram app, however, you must be a public figure, celebrity, or huge brand in order to be approved. 

The application process is process is pretty straightforward though, so it's worth a shot. Here's how to do it: 

1. Make sure you're logged in to the account you're requesting a verification for.
   
   
2. Go to your profile and tap the hamburger icon at the top right-hand corner of the screen.
   
   
3. Tap Settings > Request Verification.
   
   
4. Enter your full name and provide a form of identification (generally a ID card or drivers license)

Google My Business

Getting verified on Google My Business is super important.

Once verified, your users will see a blue shield with a checkmark in it on your listing in Search and Maps. This is important because users will have no doubts that your hours, address, and other important info is up-to-date. 

This will make them more likely to swing by and check out your establishment. 

To verify your account, do the following: 

1. Sign in to Google My Business and choose the business you'd like to verify
   
   
2. Click Verify now and follow the on-screen prompts to request your verification postcard
   
   
3. Once the card arrives, log back in and punch in the verification code on the postcard, and you're verified!

Pinterest 

Verified accounts on Pinterest have a snazzy small red checkbox inside of their profile photo. This lets the world know that your Pins are indeed coming from your company.

It's really easy to get verified on the social network too. 

Just do the following: 

1. Go to the Settings page on Pinterest 
   
   
2. Change your profile picture to your business's logo
   
   
3. And that's it!

Snapchat

Currently, Snapchat does not have a public verified program.

However, it does have a verification program for celebrities with huge (and we mean huge) Snapchat reach. Some users in the program include social media icons DJ Khaled, Ryan Seacrest, and Casey Neistat. 

These users are invited to an invite-only verification program. Once verified, these accounts have a small emoji placed next to their name in the app. See the example above. 

Now, it's time to get verified!

That's all there is to it: how to get verified on all major social networks. If you're eligible, we highly recommend getting verified on as many social networks as possible. This will improve your audience's trust and bring in new followers and more engagement.

There are two methods of accomplishing this, and both are explained below. 

Using Facebook's Page interface

1.  On Facebook, navigate to the business' Facebook page.

2.  Click Settings.

Pinterest: Here’s How to Add a Collaborator to a Board.

Did you know Pinterest allows you to add other users to your boards as collaborators, so that they can save Pins to the boards, as well? Our guide will show you how to add a collaborator to one of your boards.

Group boards are a great way to share ideas and plans. To create a group board, invite friends to one of your existing boards.

Invite friends to collaborate on your board 

From your profile, click into a board 

Click Invite

Search by first and last name, username, or email address

OR  share the link

Click Invite next to the friends you want to add as collaborators

Your friends will get an email or notification about your invite. To send an invitation off Pinterest, click Copy link. Your friends can accept or decline the invite after clicking the link.

When using Pinterest on a computer, you can allow others to request to join your board. Some boards will allow you to request to join, based on the board owner's settings.

Allow requests to join your board

From your profile, click into a board 

Click Invite next to your profile picture

Click next to “Invite group members”

Turn on Group requests

Click Done

This will add a “Request to join” button to your board. You'll receive an email and a push notification when someone requests to join. You can accept or decline this request from your inbox.

Request to join someone else's board 

Click into the board you'd like to join 

Click Request to join next to the board's “Follow” button

If your request is approved, you'll receive an email and a push notification.

An email is sent only once to create the account. The account is already created.

Log in with your registered email address.

Go to social.yourdigitalagency.com.au/en#

If you do not remember the password then click "Forgot Password" and you will then receive instructions on the email to be sent.

If not received, check spam.

Once your post is ready and you selected the Facebook pages where it will be promoted, you'll see the Boost Post button to the right.  

After clicking it, you'll be redirected to the Boost setup menu. Fill out the necessary data following 3 major steps:  

• Campaign
• Targeting
• Budget

Step 1: Campaign 

Choose the campaign mode: Manage My Boosting or Propose Others To Boost. Depending on the type, further requirements and settings will differ.

. In this mode you are the Manage My Boosting.  In this mode you are the one in charge of boosting settings and payments. Boosting will be charged from your Facebook Ads Manager account. When the post is published and approved by Facebook, boosting will be activated.

Propose Others To Boost. In this mode the post will be proposed for approval along with the boosting settings. The person who approves the post has to add Facebook Ad account, select payment method and change boosting settings if needed. Boosting will be activated after the post is approved as well as moderated by Facebook. 

Facebook Ad Account 

Choose one of your Ad Accounts connected to your Facebook profile. If there is no Ad Account connected to your Facebook profile, you'll be redirected to the Ads Manager to create an Ad account. 

If there is no Facebook personal profile associated with your YDA Social Dashboard account, you'll be asked to.  

Payment Method 

As for a payment method you can choose between a card or PayPal. After clicking the Change button, you'll be forwarded to the billing settings of your Facebook Ads Manager. If there is no card or PayPal account on file, you'll be asked to connect one.  

Step 2: Targeting 

On this stage, you define the audience who are most likely to notice your ad.

Geo-targeting 

Here are the options in the Geo-targeting box: 

• Everyone in this location;
• People who live in this location;
• People recently in this location;
• People travelling in this location.

'Everyone in this location' includes such categories as 'People who live in this location' and 'People recently in this location'. 

Depending on the number of pages chosen, address field will include additional options. If one page is selected, you can: 

• Use the location that is set up in your Facebook page. Don't forget to select the radius, hitting the appropriate button; 
  

• Choose the location manually including or excluding countries, cities, states, regions, but you can't select the exact address due to the API restriction.

If several pages are selected, geo-targeting is set dynamically based on your Facebook page address.

Radius in the Page Location section can range from 1 to 50 miles or 80 km depending on the language of your YDA Social Dashboard account.  

Connection 

Here are the options to choose from in this category: 

• All people;
• People who like your page;
• Exclude people who like your page;
• Friends of people who like your page.

Detailed Targeting  

In this category you can specify the interests of your audience. Just start typing and you'll get some suggestions. But note that in the Propose Others To Boost mode this won't be an option.  

Boost on Instagram 

It means the post will be shown on Instagram as well. If your Instagram page is connected to your Facebook account, the ad will lead to it. If not, it will lead to your Facebook page.

Step 3: Budget 

Budget

It's mandatory to fill out the budget limit. The minimum should be more than $1 multiplied by the number of the campaign days. The budget limit can be changed by that user who has access to the Ad account.  

If you want to change the currency, it can be done in Facebook Ad account settings, but not in the YDA Social Dashboard interface. If you choose Propose Others To Boost, currency doesn't matter, since another person will set the budget limit and actually pay. 

Start Boosting 

Once the post is published, its promotion will start when Facebook moderates it. There may be some delays ranging from 10 minutes to 2 days. 

Finish Boosting 

This field is mandatory. The number listed here means the number of campaign days. The post-promotion will end at the same time when it started. For example, if boosting started on January 14th at 6 pm and you want the campaign to last for 14 days, then the promotion will finish on January 24th at 6 pm. 

IMPORTANT 

If for any reason you want to delete the boosted post, its promotion will stop automatically.  

If you suggested a boosted post for several pages and you want to edit the post settings, you'll have to make the edits on each page separately. As a workaround, delete the post with the Bulk Delete option and repeat the flow making the necessary changes.  

To start, choose the boosting type: Manage My Boosting or Propose Others To Boost. Depending on it, further requirements and settings will differ. 

Under Manage My Boosting, a boosted post is marked with the blue rocket icon in the Calendar as shown below. 

Under Propose Others To Boost, a boosted post will be proposed for approval, so it will be highlighted in orange color and it will be marked with the pink rocket icon as pictured below.

Hitting on Approve, you will be informed that the post is suggested for boosting, so a payment method must be added. 

If for any reason you want to decline the boosting, click the Approve post without boosting button. Thus, the boosting settings will be discarded, but the post will be approved and, as a result, published. 

Upon clicking on Add Payment Method, you will be redirected to the billing form.  

If you approve the suggested settings for boosting, feel free to proceed with the payment. In case you want to change any of the settings offered, you can do it. 

Once the boosting setup is completed, both the post and its promotion will be considered as approved on YDA Social Dashboard end. Once the post is moderated by Facebook, that may take maximum up to 2 days, it will be live.  

IMPORTANT: 

If for any reason you want to delete the boosted post, its promotion will stop automatically.  

If you suggested a boosted post for several pages and you want to edit the post settings, you'll have to make the edits on each page separately. As a work around, delete the post with the Bulk Delete option and repeat the flow making the necessary changes. 

Here is a list of statuses that boosted post can be assigned. Please, be familiar with them: 

Waiting for setup - the post's set up is to be completed; 

Waiting for payment method - the post hasn't been approved yet (under the Propose Others To Boost mode);

Waiting for publishing - the boost setup is complete, but the post hasn't been saved yet or it may be scheduled, but not actually published yet.

Post wasn’t boosted due to an error - there was an error caused by many reasons, so you need to reach out to the Customer Support Service for investigation;

Active - the post promotion is up an running smoothly;

Paused, Adset paused, Campaign paused - the post promotion has been paused. Note that it can be done in the Facebook Ads Manager, but not yet in YDA Social Dashboard interface;

Adset paused - this status means the same as the one above;

Deleted - either the boosting settings or the post itself were deleted;

Archived - the ad has been archived;

Pending Review - the post is being moderated by Facebook;

Disapproved - the post has been declined by Facebook. Head over to your Ads Manager to know the reason;

Preapproved - the post will be approved by Facebook;

Pending billing info - the payment is being processed;

In process - the boosting settings are being saved in Facebook;

With issue - there's something wrong with the post. Head over to the Ads Manager to know the reason.

In order to see the boosting settings of the post, click on it and it will expand to a larger view as pictured below.

To claim your website, you’ll need to add a meta tag or upload an HTML file to your website’s HTML code. You can claim one website on your profile and a website can only be claimed by one Pinterest account. 

Learn how to claim your Instagram, Etsy, or YouTube accounts. 

Before you begin 

You or your business must own the second-level domain (like example.com) or a subdomain (like ads.example.com). Unless the subdomain routes to the same place as the second-level domain (if www.example.com is the same as example.com), it will be treated as a separate domain in our system.

Add a meta tag to your website 

1. Log in to Pinterest from a web browser and click to open your menu
2. Select Settings
3. Click Claim
4. In the “Claim website” section, enter your website URL and click Claim
5. Select “Add HTML tag”
6. Copy the tag and click Next
7. Go to the index.html file of your website and add the tag to the <head> section before the <body> section
8. Go back to Pinterest and click Submit
9. Click Done

Upload an HTML file to your website 

1. Log in to Pinterest from a web browser and click to open your menu
2. Select Settings
3. Click Claim
4. In the “Claim website” section, enter your website URL and click Claim
5. Select “Upload HTML file”
6. Click Download then click Next
7. Upload the HTML file to your web server at the root folder - if you upload to a subfolder we won’t be able to access it
8. Go back to Pinterest and click Submit
9. Click Done

After you click Submit, we’ll automatically check for the meta tag and claim your website. Once your site has been claimed, you can remove the HTML tag or file. Only making changes to your website in your Pinterest settings will remove the claim. 

Instructions for popular website hosts

Learn how to setup your Pinterest tag with this guide. If you use the Pinterest tag, you'll need to disclose your use of conversion tracking on your website, as described in our Advertising Standards. 

If you are a user of the following websites, click on the name to see the site specific guide: 

• Google tag manager 
  
• Tealium 
  
• Shopify 
  
• Squarespace 
  
• BigCommerce 
  
• Magento (Apptrian) 
  
• WooCommerce 
  
• Ecwid 
  

If you're using Wordpress or Woocommerce, you can download the free "PixelYourSite" extension to add the Pinterest tag to your website. 

Track conversions with Pinterest Tag 

You can define a conversion event by a specific action someone takes on your website, like signing up for your newsletter or buying a product. You can get conversion reporting for 9 types of activity on your website.

• PageVisit: Record views of primary pages, such as product pages and article pages
• ViewCategory: Record views of category pages
• Search: Record searches on your website
• AddToCart: Record when items are added to shopping carts
• Checkout: Record completed transactions
• WatchVideo: Record video views
• Signup: Record sign ups for your products or services
• Lead: Record interest in product or service
• Custom: Use this event name to track a special event that you want to include in your conversion reporting.

See the full implementation guide on how to set up specific events in your Pinterest Tag. Double check that the base code and corresponding event code is on every page that you want to track conversions, and that the base code fires first before the event code. Once the codes are added, give it 5 minutes and then confirm in Conversion Manager that the tags are properly implemented. 

Verify traffic 

Click into your Pinterest Tag at https://ads.pinterest.com/conversion_tags/. On the left you’ll see a section for ‘Tag Event History’. Here you’ll see all event codes you’ve successfully added. Next to the event code you’ll see how many times we’ve seen the tag fire in the last 24 hours as well as the timestamp of the most recent event fire in UTC time. The data in the tag event history is updated every 5 minutes.

Keep in mind these metrics are total tag fires — every time someone loads the page where your tag is placed, the tag should fire and one event should be counted. These metrics do not necessarily represent Pinterest conversions, as conversions can only be counted on tag fires that were made by Pinterest users that we can identify based on their Pinterest cookie or through enhanced match. 

Thus, if you don’t get page visits every day to the pages you’ve placed the Pinterest tag, the last 24 hour count might be 0 for some days. You can still confirm the last time the event code fired in the far right column. 

Enhanced Match 

An optional addition to the base code is our recently improved feature Enhanced Match: an additional hashed email parameter you can add to your Pinterest Tag that matches conversion data with the responsible Pinterest user. This way you send hashed emails to Pinterest to match site events when a cookie is not present. You can accurately see more conversions in Ads Manager reporting as a result. New cookie-based features will supplement the cookie-less capabilities of Enhanced Match.

For privacy, emails are hashed and deleted within 24 hours. 

The Enhanced Match guide covers how to implement enhanced match and addresses any security/privacy concerns you may have. 

Additional Visibility Features 

The Pinterest tag will create and access cookies in a first party context on your domain, providing better visibility into the Pinterest traffic you’re getting on your site.

Using Smart Match (browser signals), we can more effectively use cookies for matching to increase reach and accuracy. 

Pinterest has data partnerships that help match your conversions to Pinterest users. For example, if a user is browsing your site on their phone, but chooses to buy your product from their web browser, our backend software is able to connect the devices to one another and better capture conversions you are receiving on any device.  

To opt in to these features: 

• New (first party) cookie: No action needed
• Cross-device matching: No action needed

Add third-party tracking to your ads 

We support impression tracking and two types of click tracking: cross-domain redirect click-tracking and parallel click-tracking.

Cross-domain (X-domain) 3rd party click-tracking 

There are several 3rd party providers of click tracking: Google[Doubleclick], Adobe[DTM], Facebook, Flashtalking, etc. These URLs begin with the 3rd party’s domain and redirect to your domain and landing page. The user’s browser will momentarily load a 3rd party tracking domain before loading your final landing page. Common issues are broken links and percent-encoding issues.

These URLs are placed in the “Promoted Pin destination URL” field in Ads Manager or column in bulk editor. 

Parallel click-tracking 

With parallel click-tracking, Pinterest pings a click-tracking URL in parallel with the promoted Pin's destination URL. This decreases the time between when a user clicks on Pinterest and when the advertiser's landing page loads. Parallel click tracking URLs aren’t loaded by the user’s browser and don't redirect to the final landing page, they're only pinged to track events.

Parallel click-tracking URLs are placed in the “Third party tracking URLs” column in bulk editor along with impression tracking URLs. 

Impression Tracking 

With impression tracking, you can verify the serving of your ads on Pinterest. We support these impression tracking partners:

• Doubleclick (DCM)
• Atlas
• Sizmek
• Flashtalking
• Trueffect

  You can add impression tracking links to your campaigns via the ‘Tracking URLs’ field in ad creation. Select “impressions” and paste the URL from your third party in the text box. 

To add impression URLs via bulk editor, use the ‘Promoted Pin Third Party Tracking Urls’ column.

Add dynamic tracking parameters 

You can add dynamic tracking parameters to your URLs directly or in addition to your third-party tracking URLs. We also support dynamic tracking parameters, which allow advertisers to collect additional information from Pinterest on a click for campaign tracking purposes. They are placeholder text that start and end in curly brackets and can be added to URLs.

Supported dynamic parameters for promoted pin destination URLs: 

• {campaignid}
• {campaign_name}, {campaignname} 
  
• {adgroupid} 
  
• {adgroup_name}, {adgroupname} 
  
• {keyword} 
  
• {keyword_id} 
  
• {creative_id} - the pin promotion id 
  
• {adid} - the pin promotion id 
  
• {device} - ‘t’, ‘c’, or ‘m’ for tablet, computer or mobile 
  

Supported dynamic parameters for (server-side) parallel click tracking and impression tracking: 

• {campaignid}, {campaign_id}
• {campaign_name}, {campaignname} 
  
• {adgroupid}, {ad_group_id} 
  
• {adgroupname}, {ad_group_name} 
  
• {adid}, {ad_id}, {creativeid}, {creative_id} - the pin promotion id 
  
• {itemid}, {iterm_id} - the pin promotion’s item id 
  
• {insertionid}, {insertion_id} - the pin promotion’s insertion id 
  
• {creative_name} - the pin promotion name 
  
• {device} - ‘t’, ‘c’, or ‘m’ for tablet, computer or mobile 
  
• {device_platform} - mobile device type, ‘iOS’, ‘Android’ or empty string 
  
• {publisher} - hardcoded it as ‘Pinterest’ 
  
• {timestamp}, {click_timestamp},  

For example, a landing URL provided by a retailer may look like this: retailer.com/mens-clothing/?cid={campaignid}. If the Pinterest campaign id is 1234, we will serve this URL as retailer.com/mens-clothing/?cid=1234. 

Specific dynamic parameters for Search Campaigns: 

• {keyword} - the percent-encoded keyword string (e.g. running%20shoes) that matched the promoted pin
• {keyword_id} - the keyword ID that matched the promoted pin 

Dynamic parameters we don’t support will be ignored. For example, if the retailer provides the URL retailer.com/mens-clothing/?cid={CAMPAIGN-ID}, we will ignore the tracking parameter and just serve the URL as retailer.com/mens-clothing/?cid={CAMPAIGN-ID}.

Specific dynamic parameters for Shopping Campaigns: 

• {product_partition_id} - product group ID
• {product_id} - product ID 
• {lpurl} - Used only in the campaign structure it will be replaced by the URL from either “adwords_redirect” or “link” field in the feed. * {lpurl} will automatically be encoded as well as encode the following characters: ?, =, ", #, \t, ', and [space] when placed after or in a tracking URL. ** When placed before any tracking {lpurl} will not be encoded. 
  

           Example: 

            - link field URL: http://hello.world.com/shoes-sneakers

            - Tracking URL: https://ad.tracker.com

            - {lpurl}?http://ad.tracker.com becomes http://hello.world.com/shoes-sneakers?https://ad.tracker.com 

            - https://ad.tracker.com?{lpurl} becomes https://ad.tracker.com?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.helloworld.com%2Fshoes-sneakers 

• {unescapedlpurl} - Does not encode the the link URL or any additional characters after the URL regardless of placement

Please note that the {keyword} parameter isn't supported for tracking links on any Promoted Shopping Pins.

The Pinterest tag tracks actions people take on your website after they view your ads. Install the Pinterest tag on your site to get audience insights and measure your return on ad spend (RoAS).

When you add the Pinterest tag to your website, you can learn which ads lead to more conversions and how people engage with your website. If you use the Pinterest tag, you need to disclose your use of conversion tracking on your website, as described in our Advertising guidelines. 

Choose how to install the tag 

1. Install the Pinterest tag yourself - You'll need to get into your website's HTML to place the base code and event code.
2. Use a tag manager or platform integration (you may already be working with one!)

Tag managers and platforms 

• Google tag manager
• Tealium 
  
• Shopify 
  
• Squarespace 
  
• BigCommerce 
  
• Magento (Apptrian) 
  
• WooCommerce 
  
• Ecwid
  

1.  Go to Google Tag Manager and click Add a new tag. 

2.  At the top, name your tag.

3.  Click Tag configuration. 

4.  Search for Pinterest Tag in the search bar. 

5.  Enter your tag ID from your account's Conversions page. You can also choose a variable to reuse by clicking the brick icon for your Pinterest Tags. 

6.  To use Enhanced Match, click the brick icon under "Hashed Email" and choose your website’s data layer variable for email or create a new one.

7.  Click Triggering and choose the trigger that will track every page of your site, such as "All Pages". 

8.  Click Save. 

Implement event code 

Before you implement your first event code, you have to install the base code.

1. Go to the "Event to Fire" drop-down menu and select the event that you'd like to track on your website. 

2.  Depending on what you choose, optional inputs will appear. You can enter a static value or click the brick icon and choose the data layer variable for the relevant event data. 

• For addtocart, checkout, and pagevisit event tags, you can add a dynamic variable for product_id event data for audience creation and retargeting. 

        -  The product_id dynamic variable doesn't need any extra syntax, it just needs to populate the ID that matches your inventory. 

        -  If you expect or want to send multiple product_ids at the same time, you’ll need to set up a data layer variable to use our line_items syntax; see below for the structure and an example of a line_items array. 

3.  If you’d like, choose custom parameters for audience targeting.  

4.  Click Triggering and select the specific action or page where you'd like your event to fire. 

5.  Click Save. 

To verify your tag and view reporting, download the Pinterest Tag helper or view your event history. Check out Google's page on the Tag Manager for more information. 

How to send in multiple product IDs 

1.  After selecting an event from the "Event to Fire" drop-down, select Custom Parameters. Leave "Product ID" and "Product Category" under "Line Items" blank in the event you want to edit the fields. 

2.  Click Add Row to add a variable.

3.  Choose an existing variable or click in the top-right to create a new variable.

4.  Create a new data-layer variable called items (you can use any name you like, we’re just calling it items for this example).

5.  When you save, the custom parameters should look like this: 

6.  Click Triggering to set any triggers needed for your site (this is up to you), and then click Save.

In order for this to work, you'll also need to create a data layer variable called "items" on any page you want to set the product IDs and product categories. You can set all of them here:

<script> 

  dataLayer = [{

    items : [

      {

        product_id: '1414',

        product_category: 'Shoes'

      },

      {

        product_id: 'ABC',

        product_category: 'Toys'

      }

     ]

    }];

</script>

Once you've added the data layer, deploy or save your website's code.

Content security policies 

If you’re using a content security policy with your Google Tag Manager tag container, add these domains as exceptions to any rule preventing code from accessing scripts:

• s.pinimg.com
• ct.pinterest.com

Step 1: Base code 

1.  From your Shopify admin, click Online Store, and then Themes​

2.  Navigate to the theme you want to edit and click Actions then Edit Code 

3.  Click theme.liquid. 

4.  Scroll until you see “ </head>” and paste this code above it: 

<script type="text/javascript">

!function(e){if(!window.pintrk){window.pintrk=function()

{window.pintrk.queue.push(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments))};var

n=window.pintrk;n.queue=[],n.version="3.0";var

t=document.createElement("script");t.async=!0,t.src=e;var

r=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];r.parentNode.insertBefore(t,r)}}

("https://s.pinimg.com/ct/core.js");

pintrk('load','YOUR_TAG_ID', { em: '{{ customer.email }}', }); 

pintrk('page');

</script>

<noscript>

<img height="1" width="1" style="display:none;" alt=""

src="https://ct.pinterest.com/v3/?tid=YOUR_TAG_ID&noscript=1" />

</noscript>

5.  Replace “YOUR_TAG_ID” with your own unique tag ID

6.  To find this, navigate to Ads Manager and click on Ads, then find Conversion Tracking and click Generate Pinterest Tag 

7.  Navigate to your conversion tracking overview and find the details section 

8.  Copy the 13 digit number below “Unique Tag ID” and paste it in place of “YOUR_TAG_ID” in the code 

Step 2: Checkout code 

1.  From your Shopify admin, click Settings and then click Checkout

2.  In the “Order processing” section, find the “Additional scripts ” text box 

3.  Paste the following tracking code into the text box; if there is already code in this box, paste your tracking code after it 

{% if first_time_accessed %} 

<script type="text/javascript">

!function(e){if(!window.pintrk){window.pintrk=function()

{window.pintrk.queue.push(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments))};var

n=window.pintrk;n.queue=[],n.version="3.0";var

t=document.createElement("script");t.async=!0,t.src=e;var

r=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];r.parentNode.insertBefore(t,r)}}

("https://s.pinimg.com/ct/core.js");

pintrk('load','YOUR_TAG_ID', { em: '{{ customer.email }}', });

pintrk('page');

</script>

<noscript>

<img height="1" width="1" style="display:none;" alt=""

src="https://ct.pinterest.com/v3/?tid=YOUR_TAG_ID&noscript=1" />

</noscript>

<script>

pintrk('track', 'checkout',{

value: {{ total_price | money_without_currency }},

currency: '{{ currency }}',

order_quantity: 1,

order_id: {{ checkout.id }}

});

</script>

<noscript>

<img height="1" width="1" style="display:none;" alt=""

src="https://ct.pinterest.com/v3/?tid=YOUR_TAG_ID&event=checkout&noscript=1"/>

</noscript>

{% endif %}

4.  Remember to replace “YOUR_TAG_ID” with the unique tag ID that was generated in Ads Manager 

Step 3: Addtocart code 

1.  From your Shopify admin, click Online Store then Themes.

2.  In the current theme you’re using, click Actions and Edit code. 

3.  Under ‘Templates’ look for code files named “product.liquid”, or “product-template.liquid”, or “product-form.liquid” and open it. Note that this may vary depending on the theme you have installed, but it’s most common to see add to cart button code in the products.liquid file or equivalent. 

4.  Search the file for "addtocart" by pressing and holding command+f on Mac or control+f on PC. 

5.  Place the following code within the ending caret of the <button> or <input> element 

onclick="pintrk('track', 'addtocart');" 

6.  Click Save in the top right corner.

If you're creating a business account to access an ad account, we recommend you use your work email address and your real name instead of your business name. This helps advertisers identify and validate the people who have access to their account. Select Other for “Business type.” 

Adding a new business profile while logged into a personal account will create a linked account. You'll be able to log in to your business profile with the same login info as your personal account. 

Add a business profile to your Pinterest account 

1.  Log in to your personal Pinterest account and click in the top right corner

2.  Click Add a free business profile 

3.  Follow the prompts to create your business account: 

• Required: 

          - Choose at least 1 topic that describes your business

          - Interest in advertising - we’ll recommend which of your content to promote and provide suggestions for how to get started with your first ad 

          - Business type 

          - Business name

• Optional: 

          - Business email

          - Business website 

         - Claim your Instagram, Etsy, or Youtube accounts 

         - Download the Pinterest browser button 

         - Copy boards from your personal profile 

If you migrate some of your boards, you'll be taken directly to your new business profile. If not, you'll be prompted to create your first Pin. 

Creating an account means you accept Pinterest’s Business Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. 

Create a new business account 

If you don’t want to have your business account linked to your personal account, you can create a standalone business account. Keep in mind that you’ll have to sign in to your personal and business accounts separately.

1. If you have a personal account, log out 
   
2. Go to pinterest.com/business/create/ 
   
3. Fill out your email, password and business name then select a business type 
   
4. Click Create account 
   

Creating an account means you accept Pinterest’s Business Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. 

If you accidentally created a personal account but want a business profile, you can add one so to the personal account so that you can access your personal and business profiles with a single login. Alternatively, if you created a personal account for business purposes and now have a lot of content that you’d like to migrate to a business profile, you can convert your personal account to a business one. 

Convert a personal account to a business account 

1. Log in to your account
2. Go to pinterest.com/business/convert/
3. Fill out your business name and website then select a business type
4. Click Create account

Creating an account means you accept Pinterest’s Business Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Similar to a claimed website, your Pinterest account will be displayed on any Pins created from your Instagram, Etsy or YouTube account. People can click through to these accounts to see and save more of your content. Note that your Instagram account must be public in order for us to attribute Pins from that account to you. 

When someone creates a Pin from one of your claimed accounts, the Pin will be attributed to you and your profile picture will show on all the Pins saved from these accounts. You'll get access to analytics to see what people are saving from your accounts and how these Pins are performing. Pins created from your account will also be counted as part of the business account ‘monthly viewer’ number on your profile, just like claimed website Pins. 

You can claim accounts in your settings on your computer and your iOS or Android device. Once claimed, any existing Pins from your claimed accounts should be attributed to you within a few days. All Pins created from these accounts in the future will be attributed to you. 

We'll use claimed account information to help distribute your content and offer you additional Pinterest features and content. 

When you unclaim an account, you will no longer have attribution on the Pin or access to the Pin's analytics. Note that unclaiming your account removes the data associated with the Pin. If you choose to claim your account again, you will see different data than what you saw previously. 

Learn how to claim your Instagram, Etsy and Youtube accounts.

Add the Pinterest tag to your website 

1.  Log in to your Pinterest business account and open Ads manager. 

2.  Generate your Pinterest tag

3.  When you generate your tag, we'll provide the base code for you. Click Copy code to copy the base code to your clipboard.

• Want to use enhanced match? Replace <user_email_address> in the base code with your specific information. If not, don't make any changes to the base code.

4.  Paste the base code in the global header of your website between the <head> and </head> tags so that it fires on every page.

What is enhanced match?

You can add enhanced match to see more conversions by tracking website actions when there's no Pinterest cookie present. Enhanced match sends back secure, hashed email addresses with your conversions. 

What's the next step?

To access My Ideas, click on Content in the top-bar menu and choose My Ideas. Here you will find folders related to each Workspace that you participate in, as well as, the Personal Ideas folder.

Each folder's name corresponds to the name of a Workspace, where content is stored. When you join a Workspace, a folder will automatically appear in My Ideas. It is automatically shared and can be managed by all members, except users with a Client role.

The Personal Ideas storage is pretty self-explanatory. All the files stored in this folder are visible only to you, and you can't share it with others. 

How can I add content to My Ideas? 

Go to My Ideas, select the Workspace you want to send a template to and hit the Create button in the top right corner. 

You will be redirected to the post form, where one of the options is to save the image to My Ideas by clicking the appropriate button, as shown below.

Next, feel free to add the post to one or multiple workspaces. Note that the image will be saved as a separate item in each of the selected folders.

At this stage, you can decide which social platform size to assign to this visual and also you can add a tag to it.

Another way to save an idea to My Ideas folder is to hover over the template you like in the Library and click on the appropriate button, as shown below. 

How can I view content in My Ideas?

You can sort content by creation (from recent to oldest and vice versa) and number of usage (most and least used).

When you hover over the images stored, you will see:

• Which user added it; 
• Social networks it is assigned to;
• Number of usage; or 
• Latest date when it was used.

How can I use the content from My Ideas?

It's pretty simple! Move your cursor on the desired picture and hit the Use button.

If you need to edit, find the Edit button when hovering over it.

Once editing is done, click on the Save As button and choose Save to My Ideas. Your updated visual will be saved as a new one.

Lastly, with the Options button you can:

• Add the idea to another Workspace; 
• Add or delete social networks for the current idea;
• Delete the idea.

You can now approve content from a mobile device.

Download the app on your phone, log in to your account, and go to the Collaboration section.

You can also:

- access your workspaces and pages connected to your  account

- see the scheduled and published content form in the calendar

I'm adding the links to App Store and Google Play

I'd love to hear your feedback on this app to pass it over to our product team, so you're more than welcomed to share your opinion 😊 

We're working on improving our mobile app and adding more features to it, so stay tuned 🧡

Did we miss the mark? or not understand something in the creative brief? If so, we are happy to offer a single rewrite at no charge.

For small changes like Shop vs. Buy, or Get vs. Download, you can make those when copying into the platform of choice or add a full stop etc

Tying up our writers to make simple changes like that will only cause price increases.

Install the SocialPost app in the group settings 

You can connect Facebook groups that you manage, but not those where you're a member.  

Here is a typical flow on how to connect a Facebook group  

When it comes to connecting a Facebook group, your account must be synced with a personal profile, that has an Admin role in this group. 

When the group is connected, its Admin profile is automatically attached to it as a host. Thus, your account will have a specific Facebook profile associated with it. 

1. Whether you're in the workspace settings or in the Calendar click on the Connect button, and select Facebook. 

2. Allow SocialPost to access your Facebook account. In the first pop-up window, hit Continue as [your profile name]. Then hit OK.

3. Pick the necessary group in the drop-down list and click Connect.

4. It is very important that you authorize SocialPost in this particular group by clicking on the blue button in the middle.

It will direct you to the group settings where you'll need to add SocialPost. Scroll down to the very bottom, find the Apps section, and do the four steps below as shown:

1) Click on the pencil icon;

2) Click on the blue Add Apps button;

3) Type in the app name in the search bar - SocialPost (one word without space);

4) Hit Add. 

Close the window.

Now that we've updated our reporting feature, it will be a lot easier to present digestible reports about your social media performance based on essentials metrics. You will be able to monitor which of them have increased or decreased in a given period.

Visualization of social media metrics helps you evaluate the efficiency of your social media strategy and also shows if social media marketing has an impact on your business in general. 

Reporting is available for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Pinterest.  

How does it work? 

Depending on the social platform, the metrics provided in the report differ. The report information is displayed per page, but not for all the connected pages. Choose the page, which data you need, and, momentarily, you will see the numbers on the right.

Find the Analytics button in the top bar and select Reporting.  

Next, choose the period of time that you need it for: custom, last 7 days, last 30 days, last 3 months. Regardless of what time period you select, the data will be compared to the data of the same previous period as shown below. 

Numbers compared are evaluated in percents. In the upper part, the numbers are divided into several sections. Scroll down to see the detailed overview of the presented data.

Some metrics are reflected in numbers, some are reflected in diagrams. You can select or deselect the parameters - their names are clickable as shown below.

What metrics do we cover?

As mentioned, we provide different parameters for different social platforms.

Starting in 2016, Instagram divided accounts into Personal and Business Profiles. Converting to a Business Profile on Instagram allows you to include additional business information like a phone number, email address, physical address, and call-to-action buttons making it easier for you to connect to your customers.

Adding an Instagram Business Profile has several benefits as well. Not only does it enable direct publishing to Instagram through the Social Dashboard, but it also unlocks additional reporting metrics in PromoRepublic reports.

How to identify what type of account you currently have?

Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and head to Settings, and then Account. 

Here's what you will see at the bottom of the list of options.

If you have an Instagram Personal Profile, you'll see one option:

Switch to Professional Account

If you currently have an Instagram Business Profile, you'll see two options:

Switch to Personal Account

Switch to Creator Account

If you currently have an Instagram Creator Profile, you'll see these two options:

Switch to Personal Account

Switch to Business Account

How do I convert my profile to an Instagram Business Profile?

Converting to an Instagram Business Profile is free and easy. Please find the detailed instructions for converting your profile here.

I have already converted my Instagram profile to an Instagram Business Profile, and it is already connected to Social Dashboard.  Do I need to reconnect the page? 

Yes. Even if your Instagram Business Profile is connected, you need to reconnect it again due to the AI changes. This will then allow you to start receiving additional reporting data and updated functionality such as Instagram direct publishing.

IMPORTANT: upon the page reconnection, you'll lose the scheduled content. We suggest that you save the posts to the My Ideas section and then reschedule them.

Which features will be available with Instagram Publishing?

Direct publishing is limited to single-image and single-video posts. Same as for other posts, you can include @mentions and hashtags. Stories and posts for Instagram Personal Profiles can still be published with the mobile workflow. Instagram Business publishing is limited to 25 API-published posts within a 24-hour moving period.

I followed all of the steps, but my Instagram posts still aren’t posting.

Please check the Facebook settings of the page connected to your Instagram Business Profile. If the audience is not set to Public, the post will fail the same way as the Facebook post will. You will need to remove SocialPost from Facebook Settings and then reconnect the Instagram Business Profile with the audience set to Public.

Troubleshooting Business Instagram connection

This article will help if your Instagram business account isn't listed when you're trying to connect it to the Social Dashboard.

There can be a few reasons:

1. Your Instagram page has not been properly converted to a business account.
2. Your Facebook personal profile does not have the admin role on the Facebook business page that is linked to your business Instagram account.
3. Your permissions for Social Dashboard to access your Facebook account have not been properly set up.
4. Your Instagram page has not been properly converted to a business account.

To check the account status, navigate to the settings of the Facebook business page that is linked to your Instagram page.

If you see a screen that differs from the image above, it means your Instagram account is either not connected to your Facebook Page, or it hasn't been converted to a business account.

Your Facebook personal profile does not have the admin role on the Facebook business page that is linked to your business Instagram account.

In order to make sure that your Facebook personal profile has the admin role on the Facebook business page that is linked to your Instagram account. Click Page Roles on the left-hand side.

f you have any other role, then you will not be able to authorize the connection.

Your permissions for Social Dashboard  to access your Facebook account have not been properly set up

Check that SocialPost has the permissions to access your Facebook account.

In the top right corner click on the arrow, then hit Settings & privacy > Settings > Business integrations, or click this link. Hitting on View and edit make sure that every toggle is toggled and the rest of the required boxes are checked.

f you don’t see any individual Pages listed as shown below, it means that you’ve previously granted SocialPost permission to access all Pages, which is the ideal setup. In this case, you won’t need to check any Pages here, and instead, you’ll need to re-authorize permission, as described further.

Once that's done, try connecting your Instagram business account again. If the issue persists, check the box and remove the integration. 

Next, hit on the red Disconnect Facebook button in your Social Dashboard account settings as shown. If it is not clickable create a password in the Change Password section as shown. The button will be clickable after you this.

This integration is more stable now; you'll see fewer failed posts and better reporting as it'll reflect data over the past three months. 

The less exciting news is this means that your IG pages need to be:

1. Converted from Personal/Creator to Instagram Business account in the IG app. But chances are, most of your IG pages are already Business accounts.

2. Linked to a FB business page. If you're the one connecting this IG Business page, your personal FB profile must be an Admin on that FB business page.

Each Instagram Business account will be limited to 25 API-published posts within a 24-hour moving period.

Stories are not supported.

Shopping tags are not supported.

Branded content tags are not supported.

Multi-image posts are not supported.

As for connecting new IG pages, please make sure that IG business accounts are linked to FB business pages.

I understand that this might be a handful, and I apologize for any inconvenience.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything I can do for you.

Thank you for your patience,

With 89% of U.S. consumers saying that they’ve gone to a competitor after a poor customer service experience, it’s clear that a business’s ability to listen to complaints and provide solutions is linked to its success.

Building an engaged audience can be difficult, and for many local businesses, it’s the reason why they quit updating their pages long ago.

In order to create a successful following on social media, every post needs to have value. This means posting timely, relevant, and engaging content.

Have you heard enough about the benefits of an Instagram business account? Ready to switch your account over to an Instagram business profile? Let’s walk you through the process so you can start taking advantage of these great perks.

Step 1: Go to your Instagram account settings

Go to your profile, then tap the hamburger menu in the top right corner of the app. Tap Settings and then tap Account to get started.

Step 2: Switch to Instagram professional account

Once in the account settings, you’ll see a blue call-to-action at the bottom of the page for you to Switch to Professional Account.

Tap that to move forward with your big switch.

Step 3: Choose a Business account

Selecting Business will allow you to start gathering impressions, reach, and video views within your reporting insights, as well as schedule content ahead of time using third-party tools

Instagram recently rolled out a new type of business account – an Instagram creator account. These are more specifically for influencers, public figures or other types of content producers, whereas a business account is better for brands and businesses that sell a product or service.

This is a part of Instagram’s effort to further separate influencers and businesses, making it more obvious for its users when a partnership is an influencer promotion rather than an ad.

The tools surrounding a creator account are slightly different from those accessible in a Business account, but they were created with influencer marketing in mind. There are also more features surrounding messaging and profile flexibility.

The core business profile features are still available, including shoppable posts. This means influencers will be able to tag the products they’re recommending directly within their Instagram posts, offering even more streamlined shopping for all parties involved.

If you plan to partner with businesses as an influencer, you’ll want to create an Instagram creator account. If not, including if you plan to partner with influencers to promote your products or services, you’ll want to create an Instagram business account.

Step 4: Connect your Facebook Page

If you’re moving forward in creating or switching to a business profile, your next step is to connect your Facebook Page. You must have admin access to your business Facebook Page to take this action.

Once you confirm which Facebook Page you want to connect to, your business profile is ready to go!

If you’re switching to a creator profile, all you need to do is select a category for the type of creator you are.

How to switch back to a personal Instagram account

If you decide an Instagram business or creator account isn’t for you, it’s possible (and extremely easy) to revert right back to a personal account.

You can also switch between business and creator accounts to find the one that makes the most sense for your brand.

All you have to do is head right back to your account settings, and this time the blue Switch to Professional Account call-to-action will be replaced with two different options: Switch to Personal Account or Switch to Creator Account.

Start taking advantage of Instagram business profile tools

3. Tapping it will open the list of the workspaces. Pick the necessary one and it will populate the channels for that organization.

By the way, if you happen to not remember or recognize what workspace you are logged in at the moment, tapping on the Workspace button you'll see the one that is running at the moment for it will be marked as shown above. 

Follow the steps below to connect a page to the mobile app.

1. Tap the hamburger menu icon at the top left of your screen.

2. Tap on the plus icon on the top, but before you do this check what workspace is on at the moment and switch to the necessary one if needed. 

3. Select the type of account you'd like to connect.

4. You'll be prompted to enter your login details and give permission to SocialPost.

5. Choose the page you want. The already connected pages will be marked accordingly.

Note: The number of channels you can connect will depend on the plan you're subscribed to. You can disconnect the page by clicking Manage Pages and x sign near the page you want to remove.

1. Tap the plus icon at the bottom middle of your screen. It will open up the Post Editor form.

2. Select the social media channel you want to publish the post by clicking the + sign at the button of Post Editor.

3. Type the caption and add a media attachment by tapping the image icon at the bottom left. Select a photo or a video.

Note: You can only select up to 4 images or one video from the camera roll. Multiple photos option is available for Facebook and Twitter.

When you intend to post multiple images, for instance, to a Facebook page and a Pinterest board, you can choose one picture that will be published to Pinterest, and all selected images will be published to Facebook. Pick the image you’d like to post to the other social page (Pinterest in this example) with a long tap that will be prompted as Make as Main.

We support video posting to such social platforms as Facebook, Linkedin, Instagram Business, and Twitter. Although, video publishing is limited to Instagram Personal, Pinterest, and Google My Business. When attempting to post a video to these platforms, the preview will be published instead.

4. Once your piece of content is ready, tap the Clock sign at the bottom of your screen to schedule it in advance or the Publish button on the top to publish the post now.

Note that the Clock sign will be grayed out till you select the social page.

5. Choose a publishing method:

None

Custom

Add to Queue

None means publishing the post right away after tapping the Publish button on the top right. By default, the None option is selected.

Custom will enable you to choose a custom date and time to schedule the post. Once it is scheduled, you'll see the confirmation pop-up and the post itself in the Scheduled tab on the top.  

Add to Queue means adding the post to the pre-set schedule. You can read about the queue

In a nutshell:

You pay a monthly flat rate and we will provide you with a dedicated graphic designer who works on your design requests in the order that you request them. The price doesn’t change regardless of how many requests you may have. We will work on one design at a time until all designs have been completed and approved.

When your design is completed, we upload them to your account and send you a link to give you instant access to your designs. If you’re not happy with the design, no problem! You have unlimited edit requests. We’ll work with it until we produce the design that you are happy with.

Depending on the complexity of your request, we like to give a general guideline of at least one day per design request. This time frame will extend again if there are edit requests. Gauging a timeline for a product from a creative service definitely requires some common sense and understanding from both client and designer

- Custom branded social media designs

Each month you can send through as many requests as you want and we design them up for you. We work on 1 design at a time so you can log them all at once or throughout the month and we design our way through them. When we deliver them to you, they will be sized and ready for you to post.

It also comes with unlimited revisions, so if get it wrong or you would like a change, just let us know and we will amend it.

Some businesses and influencers use this display as a design feature by having their posts designed to form part of a larger display to promote their brand.

A carousel is a great way to grab the attention of your audience getting them to swipe through the carousel designs and providing a call to action at the end to get them to engage.

We do like a months notice to be fair!

You are welcome to shoot us over your content that will go into the social post designs and we can make it look pretty.

We do offer another service that comes with writing and scheduling

We will design up the social posts. But once we deliver the designed posts back to you, it's up to you to post it on your social media platform.

We do offer a complete another service where we can write and schedule 

LinkedIn

Instagram

and if there is another platform you want to have your branded package designed for, just let us know which one and the dimensions if you have it, and we should be able to do it for you.

To be on the safe side, let us know prior to signing up so we can investigate it for you and save you money.

You have full 100% copyrights to the social media graphics designed for you.

We believe, through design, we can express our creativity and passion to the highest level. We believe that the ability to solve our customer’s problems is a gift, without them, we wouldn’t grow. We just happened to make a great design

No, we only work on business days during standard business hours. Monday to Friday from 10 AM - 6 PM.

Facebook doesn't allow to publish Instagram stories directly from third parties, so it is possible using our SocialPost notifier app 

Not automatically though, but through the mobile app (Android, iOS).

Download the App, log in the same way as you do on desktop, schedule a Story and it'll notify you when it's time to publish it.

Download Here

Google Play

Apple App Store

Here is a typical flow of how to publish an Instagram Story through the  app on Android devices.

1. Click on the blue Post button to start the process.

2. Hit OK.

3. Select Stories.

4. Add any visuals and graphic effects that you desire and hit Send To at the bottom.

Please note that unlike a feed post, a story can't be re-posted in the Calendar.

Don't forget to assign the proper size to the picture in the Graphics Editor.

Adjust the artwork dragging it by the corners.

While some industry commentators say "organic reach is dead" and that Facebook is "pay to play" - this is actually not the case. Some Facebook pages achieve excellent levels of organic reach (eg ORR of 50+%).

Facebook Engagements

“Facebook Engagements” is a roll-up metric which means its the sum of 8 individual metrics:

1. Reactions (Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad, Angry)
2. Comments
3. Shares
4. Video Views (3-sec)
5. Clicks to Play (clicks or taps on the actual video play button)
6. Photo Views (clicks or taps on an image)
7. Link Clicks (clicks or taps on a URL or link card)
8. Other Clicks (clicks or taps anywhere else on the post including the post text, "See More" link, profile image, page name or post date)

This makes benchmarking Engagements across multiple social channels tricky because all the channels roll-up different metrics so you're never comparing apples with apples in a multi-channel comparison. For example, Instagram Engagements are based on 4 metrics (Likes, Comments, Saves, 3-sec Video Views).

The thing to remember is not all Engagements are equal.

If your ad account has been disabled, you can visit Account Quality to find out more information and request another review.

Note: You must be an admin on the ad account you wish to appeal.

Visit Account Quality here https://www.facebook.com/accountquality

Under What You Can Do, select Request Review.

Follow the steps to submit a review.

If a situation like this has happened to you, here is how to get it fixed.

Step #1: Check Your Account

This is obvious and you have probably already done it, but give your ad account a good once over and look at all recent ads. Facebook Business Help Center has a document titled “Troubleshoot a Disabled Ad Account” which you should read before proceeding.

You can find that here: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/968402779873601

Also, this is probably a good time to read Facebook’s Advertising Policies just in case. You can find those here: https://business.facebook.com/policies/ads

Step #2: Review the Details of Your Suspension

Log in to your Facebook Ads Manager and click on the button that says “see details” in the message bubble alerting you to the suspension. That message bubble should read something like this: “You can’t use this account to run ads. Its ads have stopped running and some of its advertising assets are also disabled.”

Step #3: Review the Exact Reason Facebook Suspended Your Account

When you click on “see details” it does not show you the actual details of the suspension reason, it takes you to the “Account Quality” page where Facebook will list out the section / sub-section of their policies you supposedly violated and what exactly you can’t do with your Ad account during the suspension.

Under your Account Name and ID Number Facebook will tell you the section / sub-section your Ad account supposedly violated. They should also link to it in the Advertising Policies so you can click the link to open a new tab and read it as one last final check to see if you did do something to violate their numerous and increasingly complex policies.

Step #4: Request a Review

On the right-hand side of this page (desktop, btw you should not try and do this on mobile/tablet) you should see a section titled “What You Can Do”. Immediately under the heading, you might notice a small warning that Facebook may permanently disable your advertising account sometime in the next six months if you do not take action. That is obviously not something we want to happen so we definitely want to take action.

Directly below this dire warning should be a button that reads “Request Review”. Click on this button to open up a special form that will allow you to request Facebook review your Ads account and see if you actually violated the policies they claim.

In your request be as polite, gentle, and informative as possible but without being overly wordy. Facebook’s staff reviewing these requests likely get a lot of messages all day and using all caps, cursing, or writing a verbose response may not be the best way to get a quick and positive review.

Step #5: Wait a Few Days(?)

Once you have filled out the “Request Review” form you may notice that your Account Quality page has a new message bubble on top of the first column. That may read something like “We’re reviewing your ad account to determine if it was correctly restricted from advertising and will notify you here as soon as possible. Please note that due to coronavirus (COVID-19) we have fewer people available for reviews and it may take several weeks to get a response.”

Yikes. Several Weeks!!

Yes, and there really is not much else you can do at this point but wait. Once you have successfully submitted your request someone who works at or for Facebook will review it, but they clearly have a backlog of these kinds of requests due to some unknown bug in their system.

Give this 24 to 48 hours and you should get a response via email. If you do not jump down to Step #8

Step #6: Try a Different Facebook Ads Account

While you wait on Facebook to re-enable your Facebook Ads Account from their disabling of it, you may get antsy and want to run a small quick ad campaign or even boost a post or two. If you have access to other Ads accounts you can likely use one of those instead.

Most Facebook Personal Accounts have an Ads Account built-in but without a credit card added to it. These accounts should be able to be used on any Page you admin or manage to run ads.

You can find this account on the left-hand side of your personal screen after you login. Click the “Show More” link with a downward pointing arrow and scroll a little bit until you see “Ads Manager”. Open this up and it should open to your personal advertising account (with your name as the account name). You can add a credit card to this account and start running ads or boosts from here.

Step #7: Try Out Other Paid Social and Advertising Platforms

You may consider giving some these a try while your Facebook Ads account is disabled:

Reddit Ads

Snapchat Ads

TikTok Ads

Quora Ads

LinkedIn Ads

Pinterest Ads

Twitter Ads

Who knows, maybe one of these channels works far better than Facebook and provides a better ROAS for your brand / products / content. 

Step #8: Send a Request for Help Via Facebook Chat Support

If you have gotten a weird response after your review request, if you did not get a response after 2 full business days, or if you were told that your account was permanently disabled for a bad reason or no reason – then it is time to take another approach. Unfortunatley now you will have to go through a bit of a dark pattern to get the help you need.

You can find Facebook’s Chat Support at this URL: https://www.facebook.com/business/help

Look for the section that says “STILL NEED HELP? Find answers or contact support”

Click or tap on the big blue button that says “Get Started”.

This will get you on your way to chat support but you are not there yet. You have to click a second blue button that says “Get Started”

Now you are finally getting somewhere. This screen wants you to select an asset to request support about. That could be a page, advertising account, etc… Make sure to select the correct advertising account here before moving forward.

At the next screen, you are going to be asked what you need help with. Disabled Ads accounts are an incredibly common issue and it is most often the very first available selection here.

Finally, you will be asked to fill out a form about your request.

You need to confirm your email address and phone number and write a summary of your issue. Include at least one screenshot if possible and then down in the right-hand corner you will see a button to submit the information along with how long it might take for a support tech to get back to you.

Once you submit the form and wait a few minutes you should get a response in the form of a message via FB Messenger that looks something like this.

This final step most likely will result in your account being re-enabled. This is what it took to get our account re-enabled as you can see in the email response below. However, you should still request the review first and wait up to 48 hours for a response before accessing the Concierge / Chat support.

If instead of re-enabling your account the support tech tells you that your account is not disabled, is permanently disabled, or something else you may want to try this support channel again in a few days to get another person to review your account.

You’ll be able to see this Page in your Business Manager, but it will show the person’s or business’s name as the owner.

Request access to a page from your Business Manager

Steps to request access to a Page from the Business Manager:

Go to Business Settings.

Click the blue Add dropdown button

Select Request Access to a Page.

Enter the Facebook Page name or URL.

Use the toggles to choose which permissions you need.

Click Request Access.

You've now sent your request to the Page admin or the Business Manager admin that owns the Page.

Once the admin approves your request, you will see the Page in your Business Manager.

To update your business name and other info on Google products, you must first verify your business. 

Guidelines

1. Before you start your verification, make or claim a Google My Business profile.
2. Most local businesses verify by mail.
3. It may take a few weeks for your business info to show across Google.
   
4. After your info is live, you can check it in your Business Profile.
5. To find your profile, search for your business name and city in Google Search or Maps. Search results can vary for many reasons. 

Follow this link for instructions https://support.google.com/business/answer/7107242?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid

Verify a business by mail

• To avoid unnecessary delays:
• Make sure your address complies with our address entry guidelines.
• While you wait for your verification postcard:
• Do not edit your business name, address, or category.
• Do not request a new code.

Enter Your Verification Code

1. Verification codes expire after 30 days. If you update your business address, only the code you requested for your current address is valid.
2. Each verification code you receive is unique to your business account and the particular location for which you requested verification.

If you want to determine if you have a business account, here’s what you need to do.

To see if you already have a business account on Instagram, log into your account, tap the three lines in the upper righthand corner of your profile, and then tap “Settings” at the top.

From there, tap “Account” and look at the very last option. If you have a business account, it will say, “Switch Back to Personal Account.” If you don’t have a business account, the last option will be “Switch to Professional Account”. No worries, though, we’ll show you how to convert it to a business account!

How to Switch Instagram to a Business Account

Before doing this, you should know that your account will be public. Your account cannot be both a private account and a business account (and really, why would you want a private business account?)

When you change to a business account, your account will be exactly the same, but you’ll have access to analytics and tools not available on personal accounts.

To change your Instagram account to a business account, you’ll start with the steps we followed to check your account:

Go to your account and tap the three lines in the upper-righthand corner

Tap “Settings” at the top

Select “Account” and then “Switch to Professional Account”

Swipe through the next 4 screens that explain the benefits of a Professional Account

Then, you will have the opportunity to choose what category your business falls under. Start typing to search for the category that best fits your business

Click “Done”, and then confirm that you want to switch to a Professional Instagram Account

Lastly, you will be taken to a screen that gives you the option between “Creator” and “Business.” Choose “Business.” (The “Creator” account is for Instagram influencers and public figures so it does not offer all the tools a business account does.)

8. Now you’ll have the chance to put in contact info for your account. This email address will be tied to the “email” button on your profile so be sure it’s one you check regularly!

You can add your phone number and address. If you don’t want to receive calls or you don’t have a physical location that customers or clients would visit, you don’t have to add this information. However, you are required to add at least an email address.

9. The last step is setting up or linking your business’s Facebook page. You’ll do that by naming your page on Instagram but you’ll finish setting up the page on Facebook.

If you already have a Facebook page for your business, you can link them with these instructions.

This is a requirement because Facebook owns Instagram. If your business is on both platforms, this can actually be beneficial since Facebook displays your Instagram feed on your Facebook page. You can also have your Instagram posts automatically published to Facebook, which saves a little time!

Once you’ve named and connected your Facebook page, you’re done! Your Instagram account is now a business account and you can use the analytics, ads, and sponsored posts to take your Instagram game to the next level.

A LinkedIn profile is an excellent way to let people know who you are, what you stand for, and what you’re interested in. Your profile will be your storyboard where people can find you and stay updated on your activity, so make sure your profile is complete and representative of you.

Your profile is fully visible to all LinkedIn members who've signed in to LinkedIn. However, you can control what appears on your profile, notifications to your network, and your profile privacy preferences.

Having a profile on LinkedIn helps:

Manage your professional brand – You can define and develop how other members view your professional experience and qualifications. Since you will have complete control over your profile and its visibility, you can customize it to fit your needs. Your customized profile will help recruiters and other members understand your professional personality.

Create opportunities for you – Since people and organizations globally use LinkedIn, a LinkedIn profile will help you get noticed. An updated profile is a great way to ensure that you can be found by right people at the right time. 

Build your network and track your professional milestones – Your professional achievements (new job, work anniversary, promotion, etc.) can be recorded and displayed on your LinkedIn profile. It’ll help you showcase your professional experience and achievements to other members who view your profile. An updated profile opens the door to meeting new members and making connections.

You can add various sections to your profile to showcase your skills and expertise. A complete LinkedIn profile will increase your discoverability and profile search appearances.

Tips for creating a great LinkedIn profile:

Add a professional profile photo - A good profile photo increases the credibility of your profile and helps you stand out from the crowd. Members with a profile photo on LinkedIn can get up to 21 times more profile views than members without a photo. You can also add a background image to personalize your profile. Check out some more tips for picking the right LinkedIn profile photo.

Make your headline stand out – Your headline is created when you add your positions to your profile. However, you can re-write it to either promote an area of expertise or to let your personality shine through.

Write a summary - The About section of your profile should express your mission, motivation, and skills to people who view your profile. Ideally, you should limit the text to one or two paragraphs while filling this section. You can use bullet points if you’re not comfortable with writing paragraphs. C

Add all your relevant work and education experiences – You should keep the profile updated with all your professional experiences that align with your current career goals. You can also add media samples to provide quick access to your work portfolio.

Add relevant skills – A list of relevant skills on your profile helps you showcase your abilities to other members, like your colleagues and recruiters. It helps other understand your strengths. Once you add your skills, your connections can endorse them. If someone endorses your skills, it will increase the likelihood of you being discovered for opportunities related to the skills you possess. You can also take assessments for the skills you’ve listed on your profile to showcase your proficiency.

Request recommendations from your connections - A recommendation is written to recognize or commend a connection, such as a colleague, business partner, or student. There’s no limit to the number of recommendations you can request for. Once you accept a recommendation written by a connection, it becomes visible to your network by default. You can also hide recommendations that you think don’t suit your professional goals.

Use your profile strength meter to gauge the strength of your profile.

Once you’ve created and updated different sections of your profile, you can begin sharing your public profile with your wider network. Your public profile is a simplified version of your complete LinkedIn profile that shows up in search engines and is visible to everyone. You can promote your profile to show up better in search engine results by creating a personal URL. You can also create a badge for your public profile that you can add to your online resume, blog, or website from the Public profile settings page.
