Begin with the work you need to finish each week. A creator who needs a calendar should not evaluate tools the same way as an agency that manages approvals across several accounts.
01

List workflows before brands

Write down the repeatable jobs: publish posts, answer messages, review engagement, or prepare client reports. Assign a responsible person and decide which steps must remain manual.

02

Compare access and integrations

Check which networks are supported, whether the tool uses official integrations, and how permissions are granted. A feature labelled as supported may not be available on every account type.

03

Pilot with real tasks

Use a small sample of posts or reports to confirm export formats, scheduling limits, approvals and error recovery. Document what the tool cannot automate before committing your workflow.
