A good online presence is essential in today's business world, and your LeadSite provides the tools to help clients find and follow you on all of your social platforms.

You will find the Social Share app near the bottom of your dashboard's Apps tab in the Promotion section:
Once you're in the Social Share app you will find the following navigation options:
- Social Posting is an automated tool to help agents dominate on social media.

FAQ
- Why am I not seeing any IDX Suggested Posts?
Usually, this is because you have not saved a shortcode or there are no listings in the parameters of the shortcode you've saved. You will need to go to IDX Listings under the AutoPost Settings and add a new IDX shortcode. - Why did my post get sent out later than when I scheduled it?
Social posting runs approximately every 15 minutes. Your post will be sent out within 15 minutes of the time you have scheduled. If your post has not been shared after 15 minutes from the scheduled time, check your AutoPost Queue, Schedule, and Settings, then contact us at support@easyagentpro.com so we can look into any possible issues. - Why isn't Instagram/YouTube/TikTok/etc. available as an Active Network on the Sharebar?
Several social media platforms, like the aforementioned, are for the sharing of media, such as images or videos, rather than text or links, and therefore are unable to share pages directly from your LeadSite. To share links on these platforms, copy-paste the page URL into a post, caption, or comment.
