The problem it solves

Your team plans LinkedIn posts in advance, but someone still has to remember to hit publish at the right moment, every single day. Miss the window and the post feels late or gets forgotten entirely.

Who it fits

Social media managers or agencies keeping a company LinkedIn page active on a schedule.

How it works

  1. The system checks a spreadsheet several times a day for approved posts
  2. It finds the next post scheduled for today and marks it as scheduled
  3. It waits until the exact scheduled time arrives
  4. It publishes the post, with an image or article link, to LinkedIn
  5. It updates the spreadsheet with the live post link once published
What you get

Posts that go live without you watching the clock

Your approved LinkedIn posts go live at exactly the right moment without anyone needing to sit and hit publish.

What you get

A published LinkedIn post at the exact planned time and an updated tracking sheet.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and a LinkedIn company page with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
