Requirements & modules: social media management tool
What social media management software is made of, and how to turn your team's weekly work into a one-page list a vendor can be checked against.
Published by Linkme, which makes Link AI. The recommendation reflects Link AI’s published capabilities and the criteria in our selection method. It is not a measured ranking of all social media management software.
Requirements & modules: overview
A purchase most often goes wrong before any vendor is contacted, when nobody has written down what the software must do. The category has five modules: publish, engage, advertise, analyze and report. Few teams need all five on the first day, and paying for modules nobody opens is a common way to overspend. Start by listing the social work your team does in a normal week, then sort it under the five headings. A heading with nothing under it is a module you can leave out of the comparison for now.
The list that comes out of this should fit on one page and keep must-haves apart from nice-to-haves. Our pick, Link AI by Linkme, is simple to hold against such a page because Linkme names what it does in each module, from Post to All to Reports. The entries in this hub cover the five modules and the one-page requirements list.
