Social Media Post Publishing

Publish social content consistently with brand-approved copy and visuals.

SOP Steps

  1. 1

    Pull from content calendar

    Check the content calendar for the scheduled post. Confirm the topic, platform, and publish date/time are correct.

  2. 2

    Write post copy

    Draft the post copy following the brand voice guidelines. Keep it concise, on-brand, and tailored to the platform's best practices.

  3. 3

    Source or create image/graphic

    Select or create the visual asset for the post. Ensure it meets platform size requirements and aligns with brand style guidelines.

  4. 4

    Get internal review/approval

    Share the draft copy and visual with the designated reviewer. Incorporate any feedback and get final sign-off before scheduling.

  5. 5

    Schedule in social tool

    Upload the approved copy and visual into the scheduling tool (Buffer, Later, Hootsuite, etc.) and set the correct publish time.

  6. 6

    Publish or confirm scheduled

    Confirm the post is correctly scheduled or publish it manually if publishing immediately. Double-check the final preview before going live.

  7. 7

    Monitor first 2 hours for engagement

    Check the post within 2 hours of publishing to respond to early comments, flag any issues, and note initial engagement metrics.

  8. 8

    Log performance in tracker

    After 24 hours, log the key performance metrics (reach, impressions, engagement rate, clicks) in the content performance tracker.
