Can I run both during the switch?
You can run both Taplio and Hootsuite during a transition period. This allows for a smoother handoff. Be aware of potential for double posting. Manage your content calendar carefully. Consider the increased cost of running two subscriptions concurrently.
Will my existing LinkedIn content transfer?
Existing content posted via Taplio remains on LinkedIn. Hootsuite generally does not import historical posts from other tools for analytics. Your past post data in Hootsuite will start from the migration date.
How do I manage LinkedIn personal profiles in Hootsuite?
Hootsuite has limited personal profile support. It focuses on company pages. You can schedule posts to personal profiles. You cannot access the same engagement features or AI writing tools as Taplio. Consider manual posting for personal content or using another tool for personal brand building.
