  Best Hootsuite Alternative for a growing business?

  Posted by seohelper on April 5, 2021 at 8:22 pm

  Recently got passed the reigns of the social media for the company I work at and our sister branch. The previous staff for marketing here used Hootsuite, but I am finding it lacking some key things I find myself needing and wanted to know if anyone had suggestions of a platform that might fit my needs?
  Pretty much I’m in need of these features:
  The ability to tag other profiles in posts for Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
  Hashtag performance assessment or suggestions.
  Suggestions for the best time to publish a post.

  If it was able to it would be nice but not necessary for it to:
  Post to Youtube
  Tailor posts for specific sites from one location. ex. using a different image for Instagram with the same content as another post.

  I’ll be posting to 10 social media sites minus 2 if it doesn’t support Youtube.

  My budget is flexible but I’m trying to keep it as low as possible because we are mostly B2B sales and are just starting to hit our stride on social media.

  Thanks for any advice you might be able to send my way!

  LinkedIn doesn’t permit any scheduler to tag.
  Very frustrating!

  I would look into SproutSocial. Covers most of the bases of what you’re looking for.

  Buffer could be worth looking into. If you upgrade to their analyze plan, it gives some pretty good insights on when to post, your most engaged posts, audience demographic etc.

  I am personally been using SocialBu as I myself a community manager and Social media manager. I am also been working with this company since the start of this year. It seems to be efficient for the community management as well as it provides hashtag monitoring and low-budget packages for small and mid-ranged businesses.
