Trying to figure out why you cannot schedule posts on Facebook Business Suite?
Since more and more businesses are going online to expand their market faster, Facebook decided to launch Facebook Business Suite. It is an online platform that gives you the ability to handle your Instagram and Facebook pages in a single application.
Facebook Business Suite currently offers helpful tools such as managing your posts, handling messages on your pages, advertising capabilities, and more. Now, one of the most helpful tools on Facebook is scheduled posts.
As a social media marketer or a business owner, it is nice to have a feature that lets you plan ahead for the posts that you are going to make throughout the week. Unfortunately, there have been reports from several users complaining that the scheduled posts option is missing on their Facebook pages.
If you are among these users, keep reading!
Why Is the Scheduled Posts Option Missing on Facebook?
If you think that this is some sort of error or glitch within Facebook,
you are mistaken. Facebook has introduced a new feature on its platform called ‘Creator Studio’. It is a one-stop-shop for page managers to handle their Facebook pages.
Now, Facebook wanted its users to utilize the Creator Studio even more, so they decided to move the scheduled posts option within the Creator Studio.
Since a lot of page owners are getting confused about this new feature, we’ve decided to make a simple guide on how you can use scheduled posts given these changes.
So, without further delays, let’s get started!
- 1. Use Facebook Creator Studio to Set Scheduled Posts.
- 2. Use Publishing Tools.
- 3. Use Facebook Business Suite.
- 4. Try Using Tailwind.
- 5. Report the Problem to Facebook.
