AutoSocial

Publish WordPress content across connected channels

AutoSocial is the Pro edition that extends the core functionality of Auto Publish for Google My Business with publishing support for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. It can share posts, pages and custom post types, so you can manage publishing from WordPress instead of repeating the task on each platform.

Choose which WordPress content to share

Schedule posts and pick the content types and categories eligible for sharing in the extension options. Set a default message for published content, with shortcodes available to save time. You can change the sharing action on an individual post, or turn off automatic publishing by default and choose sharing only when needed.

For Google My Business posts, the featured picture is used as the post image and the post link becomes the call-to-action link. Event posts can include a start date and an end date. This publishing workflow uses the Google My Business API.

Choose locations and destinations

AutoSocial supports multiple Google My Business locations. Select which locations to use, set default locations and choose destinations for each individual post. A post-level option lets you keep a particular entry on your site without sharing it. You can also review its share history from the WordPress posts, pages and custom post type screens.

When a Google My Business post is not tied to WordPress content

Create a manual post from the plugin settings without linking it to a post, page or custom post type. You can edit or remove past posts there as well, without opening Google My Business.

Display reviews with a shortcode

Use the review shortcode builder to add reviews to a post, page or sidebar widget. Preview a slider or grid, adjust its presentation settings and manually exclude specific reviews. Reviews update automatically once each day.

Set up publishing and review shows

1. Install and activate AutoSocial in WordPress.
2. Open the plugin settings and configure connected Google My Business locations and publishing preferences.
3. Choose content types, categories, default messages and sharing behavior.
4. Use post-level controls to select destinations or prevent a specific item from being shared.
5. To show reviews, configure their presentation and copy the generated shortcode into the desired post, page or widget area.
