What Is Zoho Social
Zoho Social is a social media management platform that lets businesses, marketers, and agencies plan, schedule, publish, and monitor content across multiple social channels from a single dashboard.
It is designed to serve a wide range of users, from individual creators and small teams managing one brand, to marketing agencies coordinating dozens of client accounts through dedicated Agency plans.
As part of the Zoho suite, Zoho Social integrates with Zoho CRM and Zoho Desk to connect social engagement with sales and support workflows, plus Canva for design.
Key Features
SmartQ uses predictive analysis of audience activity to recommend the best times to publish content for maximum engagement.
Social monitoring tracks brand mentions, hashtags, and relevant keywords across supported channels, helping teams catch conversations and potential leads in real time.
Visual reports and custom analytics cover engagement metrics, follower growth, traffic sources, and click distribution.
Collaboration tools include content approval workflows, draft review, and team discussions, while Agency plans add client portals and branded client logins.
