A Game-Changer for Your Social Media Strategy
For any business owner, agency, or marketer plugged into the digital world, managing social media content can feel like a relentless battle. You’re constantly juggling multiple platforms, trying to maintain a consistent presence, and desperately seeking that elusive “perfect” posting schedule. Let’s be honest, it’s enough to make you pull your hair out! The old way of doing things often meant rigid schedules, manual re-queuing, and a general lack of flexibility that stifled creativity and efficiency. It was a chore, not a strategic advantage.
But what if there was a better way? A way to not just schedule your content, but to truly orchestrate it with surgical precision and dynamic adaptability? Well, buckle up, because GoHighLevel has just dropped an update that’s about to turn your social media management on its head. The Social Planner, already a powerful tool in your GoHighLevel arsenal, has received a supercharged upgrade to its Category Queue, transforming how you plan, organize, and deploy your social content.
This isn’t just about minor tweaks; it’s a fundamental shift designed to put you back in the driver’s seat. Imagine having the power to craft new content on the fly, seamlessly integrate it into your existing queues, and even re-arrange your entire content flow with unprecedented ease. This update is engineered to eliminate the headaches of last-minute changes and rigid scheduling, giving you the freedom to be more agile and responsive with your audience.
We’re talking about a significant leap forward that gives you granular control over your content calendar, ensuring your brand message hits home consistently and effectively. This enhanced Category Queue isn’t just a feature; it’s your new secret weapon for dominating the social landscape.

Why This Update Matters: Beyond Just Scheduling
This isn’t just another incremental update; it’s an evolution in how you approach your online presence. The Social Planner, already a robust tool, now becomes a true content orchestration powerhouse, offering content scheduling flexibility that was previously unavailable. This update puts you squarely in command, turning what could be a chore into a seamless part of your strategic operations.
You gain unprecedented control over your social content flow. Previously, you were often restricted to re-queuing existing posts. Now, you can literally create new categories on the fly, adapting your content strategy to trending topics or new campaigns without missing a beat. Need to organize your content better? You can search and select existing categories with absolute ease, streamlining your workflow and keeping everything tidy.
The real game-changer? You can now add brand-new posts from scratch directly into the category queue. No more roundabout processes! And if you decide a fresh piece of content needs to be front and center, you can insert multiple new posts at any position in the queue – even in between existing, scheduled items. This level of dynamic reordering is what sets this update apart, ensuring your most relevant messages are seen exactly when they need to be.

Your Go-To Guide for Enhanced Social Media Management
Step 01: Navigate to the Social Planner
To begin, you’ll need to access the Social Planner within your GoHighLevel account.
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
- From the main dashboard, locate the left-hand navigation menu.
- Click on the “Marketing” tab.
- From the expanded “Marketing” menu, select “Social Planner.”

Step 02: Integrate Your Social Accounts (If Not Already Done)
Before you start scheduling, ensure your desired social media accounts are connected to the Social Planner.
- Within the Social Planner interface, click on the “Integrations” tab at the top.
- If your accounts are not yet connected, follow the prompts to integrate platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. (If already connected, you can skip this step.)

Step 03: Create a New Post and Choose “Category Queue”
Now, let’s start creating your content with the new Category Queue functionality.
- On the main Social Planner screen, click the prominent “Create New Post” button.
- A window will appear asking you to choose the “Post Type.” Select “Category Queue” from the available options.

Step 04: Configure Your Category Queue Settings
This is where the magic of the new flexibility comes into play. You can now define or select your categories directly.
- On the first configuration screen for your Category Queue, locate the dropdown menu labeled “Select or Create New Category.”
- To create a new category: Type the desired category name into the field and confirm its creation.
- To select an existing category: Choose from the list of previously established categories.
- Review and set the two optional but powerful settings below:
- “What content should go first”: Select your preference (e.g., “Newest,” “Oldest,” “Random”) to dictate the order of posts from this queue.
- “Whether newly published items are automatically added to the queue”: Toggle this on or off based on whether you want posts published from this category to automatically cycle back into the queue.

Step 05: Set Your Queue Schedule
Determine when your queued posts will go live. This schedule defines the publishing windows for your chosen category.
- Define the specific days of the week when you want posts from this Category Queue to publish (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday).
- Set the preferred time slots for posts to go live on those selected days (e.g., 9:00 AM, 2:00 PM). You can add multiple time slots per day.

Step 06: Add & Edit Content Within Your Queue
This is the core of the new enhancement, allowing dynamic content management.
- You will now see your Category Queue, showing any existing or placeholder posts.
- To add new content, click the “Add Content” button (or similar interface element).
- A content creation window will open. Here, you can enter your post’s text, upload images, videos, and other media.
- Crucially, you can now utilize the new “Insert” functionality. Look for an option to “Insert new post” which allows you to place this content at any desired position within the queue, even between existing items.
- To edit an existing queued post, simply click on it. You can then modify text, media, or fix any errors.

Step 07: Go Live: Activate Your Category Queue
Once everything is configured to your satisfaction, it’s time to activate your queue!
- After adding and scheduling all your content, review your queue one last time.
- Locate and click the “Publish Queue” or “Activate” button (the exact wording may vary slightly but will indicate activating the queue).
- Confirm your settings when prompted to make the queue live, and GoHighLevel will begin publishing your content according to your defined schedule.

Results You Can Expect: Beyond Effortless Scheduling
With the enhanced Social Planner Category Queue, you’re not just getting a new feature; you’re gaining a strategic advantage. Expect to see:
