Social Posting | Marketing Tools Updated June 16, 2026 18:02

Overview

Social Posting lets you create and publish posts to your Facebook page and Google Business Profile directly from Jobber, without switching between platforms or starting from scratch.

Social media visibility is hard to keep up when you're running jobs all day. Social Posting brings your Facebook page and Google Business Profile into Jobber so you can create and publish content without leaving the platform.

When you create a post, Jobber AI can help generate content from your ideas. Give it a prompt — a service you want to promote, a job you want to highlight, or a message you want to share — and it drafts post content based on your input. You review and edit the draft before anything goes live, so what goes out always represents your business the way you want it to.

Social Posting works alongside your other marketing activities in Jobber — including Job Showcase, your Marketing Plan, Reviews, and Campaigns — to help you stay visible and consistent across channels.

With Social Posting, you can:

• Create posts that promote your services and showcase your work
• Publish to your Facebook page, your Google Business Profile, or both from a single place
• Use Jobber AI to generate post content from your own prompts and ideas
• Schedule posts in advance or publish immediately
• Review and edit all content before it goes out
