How does Metricool differ from traditional social media management tools like Buffer?
Unlike Buffer which mainly focuses on organic content, Metricool provides an integrated approach for managing both organic posts and paid advertising campaigns. It allows users to run and track Facebook, Google, and TikTok ads directly from its dashboard, eliminating the need to switch between multiple platforms. Metricool's comprehensive analytics go beyond basic metrics, offering detailed audience insights, competitor tracking, and AI-powered features such as best times to post. The platform also includes a drag-and-drop scheduling calendar for planning content weeks in advance and Auto Lists for recycling evergreen content automatically, saving time and maximizing engagement.

Successful social media advertising begins with choosing the right platform for your audience - for example, B2C products typically perform well on Instagram, while B2B services are better suited for LinkedIn or Twitter. Next, clearly define your business goals to determine whether you're focusing on direct sales or content marketing promotion. Implement platform-native content tools to boost engagement, such as Twitter polls or Instagram stickers, and always direct users to custom landing pages relevant to your offer. Finally, test multiple ad variations and promote your top-performing content (the 'unicorn' content that delivers 70% of your results) to maximize ROI. HubSpot's free tools can help manage these campaigns effectively.
