Frequently Asked Questions

How many social posts can I get from one blog article?

Typically 8 to 15 unique posts per article. You can pull quotes, stats, key takeaways, thread style breakdowns, and carousel content from a single piece.

Will the social posts sound too repetitive?

No. The AI generates unique angles for each platform. A Twitter post will be punchy and direct while a LinkedIn post will be more professional and story driven.

Can I review posts before they go live?

Yes. Posts are queued in Buffer as drafts by default, giving you full control to review, edit, or reschedule before anything publishes.
