Supported channels
It’s hard enough to manage your social media channels, let alone when you have to spread them across multiple tools.
Hootsuite doesn’t support as many channels as Sendible does.
On top of Hootsuite’s support of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn, Sendible also supports Google Business Profile (previously Google My Business) which is an integral part of your SEO strategy.
Seamless collaboration with clients
Manage tasks and collaborate with ease when creating posts for your client’s social media calendar.
Use your shared content libraries to store brand assets, most-used hashtags, and evergreen content.
Be on the same page with clients for each social media post by creating content in bulk to get approved by your client.
Not every user needs to access all functionality so with Sendible‘s custom user permission groups, you can decide who gets access to what. For example, you might want to charge your clients more if they want to add more profiles or build custom reports.
