*** Important BugFix update***
If you installed Postamatic before 8/26/2020 we recommend that you "Run Initial Setup" in a new Google sheet as we had to modify the Reviews and the Q + As tab to help with multilingual posting.
This is a breaking change for non-english users.
- We added Review Management to the Tool's functionality too
- We've added Q + As !
- We've renamed the tool from AgencyAutomators - POSTS to Postamatic
- We've gone 🎉Multilingual 🎉
- Daily Posting now works as anticipated.
- The tool now pulls in all your locations (no longer limited to first 100 locations).
You can easily set up scheduling of posts far out into the future so you can sit down and efficiently build a GMB Campaign out into the future.
The tool also comes with utm tagging baked in. This means that you will efficiently and consistently deliver data to google analytics that makes it easy to track the effectiveness of your posts. You'll know which type of post was responsible for engagement and which specific post was responsible for goal completions like filling out a lead form, or a purchase on an ecommerce site.
