Social Content Engine First-Time Setup

This guide explains how to complete the first-time setup of the Social Content Engine, including brand setup, campaign creation, and content scheduling

Overview of the Setup Process

The setup process consists of three required steps:

  1. Enter Brand Information

  2. Create Campaign

  3. Schedule Content

Each step must be completed to activate content delivery.

Step 1: Enrich Brand

When the Social Content Engine is opened for the first time, a prompt directs you to the Branding tab.

How It Works

  1. Enter your business website URL

  2. Click Enrich Brand

  3. AI automatically populates brand data

  4. Manually edit sections afterwards, if needed

Pricing

  • First enrichment: Free

  • Additional enrichments: Approximately $0.05 each

What Gets Populated

Core Brand Data (Primary Impact on Social Content)

These fields directly affect content quality:

  • Brand and business information

  • Brand styling (colors and fonts)

  • Brand voice

  • Customer avatar

Ensure these fields are accurate before proceeding.

Additional Brand Data (Used for Ads)

These fields are less critical for social posting:

  • Customer pain points

  • Product mechanics

  • Offer details

  • Social proof

Step 2: Create First Campaign

After brand enrichment, create your first campaign.

Recommended Campaign Type: Brand Awareness

Start with a Brand Awareness campaign because:

  • It is the simplest to set up

  • It focuses on top-of-funnel content

  • It produces fast initial results

Campaign Creation Process

  1. Enter a campaign name

  2. Set scheduling preferences

  3. Generate content concepts (AI-generated topics)

  4. Review or edit concepts

  5. Click Create Campaign

Estimated setup time: ~5 minutes

Core Content Types

  • Brand Awareness: Introduces your business and services

  • Educational Content: Provides tips, how-tos, and value

Using both content types together improves performance.

Step 3: Schedule Content

After creating the campaign, schedule content to your social accounts.

Scheduling Process

  1. Click Schedule on the campaign

  2. Select connected social accounts

  3. Choose post type (e.g., post, reel)

  4. Select a date range (e.g., 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month)

  5. Set posting times (manual or randomized)

  6. Click Send to Scheduling

Requirements

Social accounts must be connected in the Social Planner before scheduling.

After Setup

  • The account is fully set up

  • Content is scheduled and publishing

  • The system is ready for auto-post activation

Common Issues and Fixes

  • Refresh the page and retry scheduling
