The owner's week: running your own accounts in Sacramento
Plenty of Sacramento owners would rather keep their social media in-house than hire someone, as long as it does not eat their evenings. This page lays out a weekly routine, day by day, for keeping your Google Business Profile, Instagram and Facebook current and your inbox answered, with AYDUKE doing the repetitive parts.
- One weekly block to schedule posts to your Google profile, Instagram and Facebook
- Lunch-hour bookings handled in the chat while you work
- A clear line on what Google profile scheduling covers and what it does not
Free for 7 days, no credit card required
The routine
A week of social media for a one-owner business
The idea is to batch the work into one longer block and a few short check-ins, instead of posting whenever there is a spare minute.
| When | What you do | What AYDUKE does |
|---|---|---|
| Monday morning | Pick photos, write the week's posts | Schedules each post to your Google profile, Instagram and Facebook; checks platform rules first |
| Monday to Friday, lunch | Nothing, you are busy | Answers DMs, Messenger and website chat; books appointments into open slots |
| Tuesday and Thursday evening | Skim the inbox, approve drafts if you use draft mode | Holds anything it could not answer for you |
| Friday afternoon | Update hours or specials for the weekend | Publishes a scheduled weekend post to every chosen account |
| End of month | Look at the report | Shows success rate, failed posts and a comparison with last month |
Monday morning at a Midtown café
A composite owner, not a real business. She keeps one longer block on Monday before the lunch crowd.
- 7:30 a.m.Coffee, laptop, the photos from last week's farmers market haul dragged into the media library.
- 7:45 a.m.Four posts written: new seasonal menu, weekend brunch hours, a staff introduction, a Friday pastry drop. Each goes to Instagram, Facebook and the Google profile.
- 8:05 a.m.The platform check flags the pastry post: the Instagram version needs a photo. She adds one and schedules it.
- 8:20 a.m.A quick look at the weekend inbox: most questions were answered, two drafts wait for approval, one catering request was handed to her.
- 8:30 a.m.Laptop closed. The week's posts are on the calendar.
Getting your Google Business Profile on the schedule
Connect through your own Google app
The profile connects via OAuth using your own Google developer app. The panel has a step-by-step guide.
Write posts once for all accounts
The same post can go to your Google profile, Facebook page and Instagram on the same schedule, each checked against its platform's limits.
Keep hours current in two places
Change your hours in Google itself, and update the matching knowledge base entry so the assistant says the same thing.
Know the limits
AYDUKE schedules Google profile posts only. Reviews and Q&A stay in Google.
