5. Upload your photo, GIF, or video from your computer by clicking on the photo icon.

6. If you’ve added images, click the text icon on top of each image to include alt text for accessibility.

7. Click the pencil icon on top of your image to crop, flip, or resize your visuals as needed.

11. Design or curate visuals directly through GIPHY, Unsplash, or Canva without leaving SocialBee.

12. To tag a LinkedIn Company Page, turn on “Customize each”, then type “@” in your caption and paste the company’s LinkedIn URL right after it (for example: @https://www.linkedin.com/company/socialbeehq/).

19. Click “Create post” to finalize your post. SocialBee will automatically publish it at the exact time you’ve scheduled.

Whether you’re scheduling LinkedIn posts ahead for the month or making quick edits later, you’ll find the post editor intuitive and fast to use.

Why schedule posts through SocialBee vs. native scheduling

While the native LinkedIn scheduler works for quick updates, SocialBee gives you more control and flexibility. You don’t need to switch between the LinkedIn app and other third-party tools. Manage all your content from one tab across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X (Twitter), Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, Bluesky, and Google Business Profile.

With SocialBee, you can schedule a post in advance, view all your Page posts in a visual calendar, and edit scheduled posts whenever plans change.

SocialBee is a complete social media management tool. You can adjust captions, media, and the scheduled date in just a few clicks. It helps you stay consistent on LinkedIn while keeping your workflow efficient and your content organized.

Beyond scheduling, you can collaborate with your team, analyze performance, and reply to comments and mentions from the same dashboard.
