Automate Your Social Media Posting with GoHighLevel’s Planner
If you run a business, you already know that social media isn’t optional anymore — it’s essential. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn are where your audience spends their time, connects with brands, and makes buying decisions. But keeping up with posting regularly can be overwhelming, especially when you’re already managing sales, customer service, and day-to-day operations.
That’s where GoHighLevel’s Social Media Planner comes in. Many businesses don’t realize that GoHighLevel (GHL) offers a built-in content scheduling tool that works across multiple platforms — allowing you to plan, automate, and manage your posts from one dashboard.
At Marketing Inventors (marketinginventors.com), we’ve seen firsthand how this tool saves business owners hours each week while keeping their brand visible and consistent online. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to use GHL’s Social Media Planner to simplify your marketing and grow your reach.
Why Social Media Consistency Matters
Posting once in a while won’t cut it in today’s algorithm-driven world. Social media platforms reward consistent, quality content with more visibility. That means the more regularly you post, the more likely your audience will see and engage with your brand.
But here’s the challenge:
You get busy and forget to post.
You run out of content ideas.
You waste time logging in and out of multiple platforms.
The GHL Social Media Planner solves these issues by letting you plan your content in advance, batch-create posts, and automate publishing — all without leaving your CRM.
What is the GoHighLevel Social Media Planner?
The Social Media Planner is an all-in-one scheduling and posting tool built directly into GHL. You can:
Connect your Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google Business Profile accounts.
Create posts with text, images, videos, and links.
Schedule posts for specific days and times.
Preview how posts will look before they go live.
Track engagement and performance.
This means you can plan your entire week or month of content in one sitting, and GHL will automatically publish it for you — freeing you to focus on other areas of your business.
Step-by-Step: How to Plan Your Weekly Social Media with GHL
Step 1: Connect Your Accounts
Go to the Marketing → Social Planner section in GHL and link your business’s Facebook, Instagram, and other accounts. This one-time setup allows GHL to post on your behalf.
Step 2: Map Out Your Content Calendar
Decide what type of posts you want to share — promotions, tips, testimonials, behind-the-scenes looks, or industry news. Use a mix to keep things interesting and engaging.
Step 3: Create and Schedule Your Posts
In the planner, click New Post, add your text, images, or videos, then choose your platforms. You can schedule the post for a specific date and time or publish it immediately.
Step 4: Use Templates for Efficiency
If you post similar content regularly (like “Tip Tuesday” or “Customer Spotlight”), save templates in GHL so you can recreate them in seconds.
Step 5: Review and Adjust
Check the planner view to ensure your week has a balanced variety of content. You can easily drag and drop posts to rearrange them.
