Business Social Networks

MotorDesk enables you to connect your various social media accounts and design post templates to be scheduled to post automatically on Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Google My Business, YouTube and TikTok.

MotorDesk adapts your content to suit the requirements of each social network so you don't have to, with carefully designed posts optimised for each platform.

Connect Social Networks

To begin go to the Business -> Social Networks section and then click the Connect Social Networks button, you will then be presented with a list of compatible social networks. Select each one you wish to connect and then follow the instructions to authorise the connection. Once done, make sure you click Close.

Once you've connected your social media accounts/pages you'll have access to the 'Post Templates' section.

You can choose from 10+ base templates, all designed to match your branding and all automatically adapt and change size to suit each of your social networks ensuring your posts fit perfectly. You can customise each template further with over 100 different layout combinations, and endless colour combinations.

You can choose what information appears on the posts as well as writing your own text to accompany the post, and you can see a preview of what your post will look like in this editing page.

After you've created your post templates you must then enable the social media sales channel for each vehicle you would like to post. If you're not happy with a post it can be deleted very easily via your social network profiles.

Choosing When To Post

At the bottom of the Business -> Social Networks section you'll find the 'Post Settings' section where you can choose the parameters for the automated posts to follow. Start by selecting how many posts you'd like to make per day, what times you'd like the posts to be made between and also the minimum time between posts.

You can set the maximum posts per vehicle too, as well as set a number of days after which a repost is acceptable.

You can of course add your own hashtags to text, but there's an option to 'Auto Hashtag' the posts based on information about the vehicle such as make, model and location.

Nothing will be posted until you have created your templates, and you must then enable the social media sales channel for each vehicle you would like to post.

Removing Posts

To remove posts from your social media accounts simply log-in to the relevant social media account and delete the posts directly from your account/page.
