This article shows you how to create a post in Mobal and schedule it for later. It also covers what to check before you post to Google or Instagram.
How to create and schedule a post
Go to Profiles in the left menu and open the location.
Select the Posts tab and click + Add post.
In the Profiles field, choose the locations. You can choose more than one.
Turn on the channels you want to post to, for example Google.
Choose the Post Type: Standard, Event or Offer.
Write the text and upload your images or videos.
Choose a Call to action and link if you want one.
Click Publish or schedule in the top right corner.
Choose Schedule for later, set the date and time, and click Confirm.
The same menu also has Publish now and Publish for limited duration, which shows the post between a start and end time.
How to check it worked: your post is listed under Scheduled Posts on the Posts tab.
If a post doesn't go out: check the points below.
Things to know before you post
Phone numbers on Google: Google doesn't allow a phone number in the post text. Use the Call now call to action instead. It uses the phone number on your Google Business Profile.
Links and emails on Google: Google's guidelines say the post text shouldn't include a website link or a plain email address. Add the link through the call to action instead.
Instagram image limit: Instagram allows up to 10 images in one post. A post with more images fails.
Deleting from Instagram: a post that is already published to Instagram has to be deleted in Instagram itself.
