How it Works
Point it at a page on your website, paste a URL, upload your photos, or type what you want to post about. It drafts the posts, waits for your approval, then schedules, publishes, and reports back. Your part is the idea and the nod.
Create
The blank box is where social media dies, usually around 9pm. Apaya shows up with the post already written and designed from your Brand Framework, your photos, and your offers. Review the drafts when you want control, or let the campaign publish automatically.
Schedule
Consistency is what customers read as competence, and consistency is a scheduling problem, not a creativity problem. Every post sits on one calendar and leaves on time: Tuesday morning, Friday afternoon, week after week, whether you're at a desk, on a ladder, or on a beach.
Post
Connect Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and the rest one time. Your social media posts publish to the accounts you choose, on the schedule you set. Apaya handles the posting while you get on with your business.
Analyze
See your social media activity by post, campaign, brand, and channel. Check what published, review the available performance data, and export reports when you need them.
Brand
Apaya reads your website and builds a working profile of your business: voice, audience, offers, logo, colors, reviews, photos, videos. Every post starts from there. It's the difference between content that smells like a robot and posts your regulars would swear you wrote.
Collaborate
Automation is only relaxing when the controls are yours. Invite your team, hand out roles, and choose which campaigns require review. Approve each post, or enable automatic publishing for selected campaigns. You can change the settings or pause a campaign.
Campaigns
Give Apaya a topic, a brief, a folder of photos, or a URL. It comes back with a campaign: a batch of finished posts, organized, scheduled, and spread across your calendar. Few things in business feel as good as a calendar that's already handled.
Your social media could look like this too.
"We went from posting once a week — when we remembered — to daily thought leadership on LinkedIn and Instagram."
