For one account. See above gif.Onlypult: Pretty cost-effective (about $8/month), but you lose some of the functionality of ScheduGram. I used Onlypult for about three days on an account, had trouble posting, resolved that, then promptly had a “shadow ban” imposed on my account. My posts stopped showing up in my hashtag lists. Likes plummeted. Impressions plummeted.Instagram Marketing for Restaurants Gramblr: When you’re in the annals of a Reddit thread about Gramblr, and a user with a name like “gramblrlovr11” come out of the woodwork and protests, “I dont no why you say a bad thing about Gramblr, Gramblr is best app,” you can safely take it with a grain of salt.
This app follows/unfollows users at a rampant pace, posts erroneous Benin WhatsApp Number comments, and messes with your DMs. It will, in all likelihood, get your account suspended. And judging by its Reddit presence, its bots are learning and will soon render us all obsolete.*General internet consensus: stick with apps like Hootsuite, Buffer, and Sprout Social—even if you have to use the free versions of these, with limited functionality.

This means that if you really want people to see your slick new homepage, but you also want to send low-funnel users right to your OpenTable page to make a reservation, you have to choose one or the other (unless you’re running Instagram ads, in which case your options open up quite a bit).Just win a “Best of Boston” category, or get linked to in a “Best City Patios” article? If you don’t want to sacrifice website/reservation clicks, you’re going to have to tell people in a single organic post, list the URL, then hope they manually type the URL into their browser (you can’t copy/paste out of Instagram, either).Some very exciting news on this topic: Instagram story links are in open beta. Users will be able to “scroll up” on a story to a webpage of the restaurant’s choosing (perhaps a beautifully formatted menu, or an even more beautifully formatted “reserve table now” button).
