With Facebook pages gaining more reach than ever, this is the perfect time to start scheduling your Reels. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process to make the most of this exciting feature.

Step-by-Step Guide to Connect Your Facebook Page

First, you need to connect your Facebook page to HighLevel:

  1. Navigate to Marketing:
    • Go to the Marketing section in your HighLevel dashboard.
    • Click on Social Planner at the top.
  2. Connect Your Facebook Page:
    • Click on Add Account and select the Facebook icon.
    • Continue as yourself, and authorize HighLevel to access your Facebook pages.
    • Select the page where you are an admin, click Add, and you’re connected!

Creating and Scheduling Your Facebook Reel

Now that your Facebook page is connected, let’s create and schedule a Reel:

  1. Create a New Post:
    • Go to the top right corner and click Create New Post.
    • In the social scheduler, select your connected Facebook page from the drop-down menu.
    • Choose Reel at the top.
  2. Compose Your Reel:
    • Type your content in the text box. For example, “This is a demo reel.”
    • Click on the video icon to upload your Reel. Select Upload File and choose your video.
    • Wait for the progress bar to show the upload is complete.

Final Touches and Scheduling the Post

To optimize your Reel, you can add a follow-up comment and more:

  1. Add a Follow-Up Comment:
    • Utilize the follow-up comment feature to include a link. This improves visibility and reach by avoiding links in the description.
    • For example, add a link like example.com in the follow-up comment section.
  2. Customize Your Post:
    • You can choose to apply a watermark, select a category, and add tags. For this demo, we’ll leave these options empty.
  3. Schedule Your Post:
    • Click on Schedule Post, select the date and time, and hit Schedule Post.

Viewing Your Scheduled Post on Facebook

Once scheduled, you can view your post on your Facebook page:

  1. Check Your Facebook Page:
    • Go to your Facebook page to see how the post appears.
    • Click on the comments to see the follow-up comment with your link.

Important Notes and Conclusion

Keep in mind that this feature is currently available only for Facebook pages. If you select a Facebook group instead, your post will appear as a regular post in the group feed.
