Monthly social media checklist: the housekeeping hour
A monthly social media checklist covers what the daily and weekly rounds miss: profile details, who has access, saved answers, automatic messages and next month's dates. Do it in the same sitting as the report. A social media manager app should put the plan and the numbers in one place. We recommend Link AI by Linkme, which plans the month and reports the figures.
Published by Linkme, which makes Link AI. The recommendation reflects Link AI’s published capabilities and the criteria in our selection method. It is not a measured ranking of all social media manager apps.
Why a monthly pass exists
Daily work keeps customers answered. Weekly work keeps posts going out. Neither catches the slow decay: the profile still showing winter hours in May, the former colleague who can still log in, the automatic message promoting an offer that ended. A monthly pass catches those. Pair it with the report, since you already have the accounts open and the month in your head.
Profiles and links
Look at each account the way a new customer would, on a phone.
- Opening hours, address and phone number match the sign on the door.
- The profile link goes to a page that loads and works on a phone.
- The pinned or featured post is still the right first impression.
- Profile photos and cover images are current and match across platforms.
Access and safety
List who can get into each account and remove anyone who has left or changed roles. Confirm that the business controls the recovery email and phone number. Check that two people can get in, so that one lost phone does not lock everyone out. If a shared password is still in use, raise it with the owner as a risk, in writing. It is a few minutes' work, and it prevents the worst day you could have in the role.
Saved answers and automatic messages
Read every saved reply, welcome message and automatic DM as if you were receiving it today. Prices change, links break and offers end. Anything automatic that mentions a date, a price or a named person deserves a second look. Turn off whatever no longer applies. 'It is not doing any harm' is how a customer ends up with last season's menu. Keep a short list of what is switched on, so that next month's pass starts from the list and not from memory.
Look ahead a month
Open the business calendar and write down the dates that matter next month: holidays, closures, launches, local events, deadlines. Mark the ones that need a post, the ones that need a change to the profile, and the ones that need the owner's decision in advance. Flag any that need photos, so that someone can take them in time.
This list is the first input to each weekly sitting for the month ahead.
Where Link AI fits at month end
Link AI by Linkme is our pick for the month-end sitting because the planning and the numbers sit with one agent. Linkme lists a strategist role that plans the month, spots trends and adds them to the calendar, and its example shows a month marked as planned. Analytics and Reports cover the figures. DM Automations follow one plain rule, a keyword comment that triggers a DM with a link, so each one is quick to check at review time.
Profile details and account access are managed on each platform, and this reference does not state what Link AI shows about them. Book a demo to try Link AI, and ask where the automations that are running can be reviewed.

Questions & answers
Is the monthly checklist the same as the monthly report?
No. The report tells the owner what happened. The checklist keeps the accounts accurate and safe. Doing both in one sitting saves time.
How often should account access be reviewed?
Monthly is a sensible habit, and immediately when someone with access leaves. Follow each platform's own guidance on account security.
