We're currently building a marketing platform and CRM that we think is going to solve most pain points for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and ad agencies. Hoping to get valuable insight here to stay ahead of the game. Really appreciate your feedback.

Accepted Answer

The social posting platform will be absent from the MVP, although it is planned for a later build.

@happhi Agreed. Our platform will be very "data first" centric. The MVP will not have the social posting platform, but that is already scheduled for production in a future release. Buffer is one of my favorite social media platforms...i like how they have the feed that allows you to easily grab and repost relevant topics.  Thanks for the insight.

@mpaine good luck I’ll be following your journey

Eric Beans · Answer

If you could build a CRM that automated basic tasks for social media including posting, scraping data through search and outreach that would be amazing.

bonus points for some SEO backlink integrations.

I’m using Dripify, Respona, Buffer and Semrush.

will be adding some social media builders at some point

@olatz_urrutia We currently use Hubspot as well and I like the workflows and CRM. Have you used it to build out landing pages or websites?

Olatz Urrutia · Answer

We use Hubspot.
-Pros: offers a variety of tools, such as email marketing, lead management workflows, social media management.
-Cons: it can be quite expensive, and the limit in marketing contacts is not super high.

@louannoleta this is correct. You’ll be able to easily launch ad campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, just the posting isn’t available on the first version.

@mpaine Not the website but we do host our blog and help center
