Frequently Asked Questions
How many approvers should be involved in a social media workflow?
We recommend limiting approval chains to 2-3 key stakeholders to balance quality control with efficiency. More than three approvers typically creates diminishing returns.
Should legal review all social media content?
Our risk assessment framework helps you identify which content types require legal review, typically limiting it to 15-20% of posts to avoid unnecessary bottlenecks.
How can I speed up approvals without compromising quality?
Our platform helps you create content templates and pre-approved messaging frameworks that reduce review time while maintaining standards.
What's the ideal timeframe for social media approvals?
With our optimized workflows, standard content should complete approvals within 24-48 hours, while time-sensitive content can be expedited through priority channels.
