🚀 Step 1: Open Social Posting

From your Review Harvest dashboard, click “Social Posting” on the left-hand sidebar.
This will open the main setup page where you can connect accounts, create templates, and manage your posting schedule.


🔗 Step 2: Connect Your Facebook & Instagram

  1. Click “Connect” next to Facebook and Instagram.

  2. Make sure you’re connecting Business Pages, not personal profiles — Meta only allows automatic posting from business accounts.

  3. Once connected, you’ll be able to automate posts to your feed and stories.


🗓️ Step 3: Choose Your Posting Schedule

You have full control over when your reviews get posted.
You can:

  • Pick which days of the week to post (e.g. Mon–Fri only)

  • Choose what time of day posts go live

  • Set different schedules for Stories and Feed Posts

Then decide whether to:

  • Auto-Post: Reviews that meet quality filters will post automatically.

  • Manual Approval: You’ll review and approve each post before it’s published.

💡 Tip: We recommend turning Auto-Posting ON for best consistency.


🧱 Step 4: Create Your Post Templates

This is where you make your social posts shine ✨

  1. Under Templates, click “Create New Template.”

  2. Choose between:

    • Feed Post Template

    • Story Post Template

  3. Upload your own photos (team photos, job shots, branded images).

    • Avoid using just your logo — real photos look much better.

  4. Customize it:

    • Resize or move the review text

    • Add your logo or additional images

    • Adjust colors (stars, text, background) to match your brand

You can make as many templates as you like — we’ll rotate through them automatically.

🔥 Pro Tip: Capture some photos of your team pointing, smiling, or working — you can drop reviews into those spots for natural, scroll-stopping content.


🧩 Step 5: Review Queue & Approvals

If you’re using manual approval, you’ll see your upcoming reviews under the Review Queue.
From here you can:

  • Preview posts before they go live

  • Edit review text (fix spelling or weird capitalization)

  • Choose a different template

  • Approve or skip individual posts

If you’re using Auto-Posting, we’ll automatically queue and publish your best reviews using your templates and filters.


🪄 Step 6: Publish & Relax

Once your templates are ready and your schedule is set:

  • Click Publish Template to activate it

  • Your future 5-star reviews will start posting automatically

You can always return to the Social Posting tab to edit templates, change your posting schedule, or switch between manual and auto-posting.


✅ Quick Recap

  1. Click Social Posting in the sidebar

  2. Connect Facebook + Instagram business accounts

  3. Set your schedule (days, times, auto/manual)

  4. Create your templates using real photos

  5. Approve posts or let them run automatically

That’s it! You’ll start seeing your newest 5-star reviews turn into professional, branded social media content — automatically.
