Why this matters:
1. Managing accounts separately wastes valuable time
- The average small business spends 6–10 hours per week just on social media content creation, posting, and engagement (Forbes).
- Switching between platforms makes it worse, leading to inconsistent posting and missed opportunities.
👉 Surge solves this by centralizing all accounts into one hub – see how social media automation works here.
2. Central dashboards increase consistency and engagement
- Businesses that post consistently see 2x higher engagement than those who post irregularly (HubSpot).
- Social media scheduling tools allow businesses to batch-create content, then automatically post at the best times.
👉 With Surge’s automation tools, you can schedule weeks’ worth of posts across multiple platforms – so your presence never goes dark.
3. Monitoring all conversations in one place prevents missed leads
- 79% of customers expect a response to their social media inquiries within 24 hours (Sprout Social Index).
- If you’re juggling multiple platforms separately, it’s easy to miss comments or messages – and lose potential sales.
👉 Surge pulls all comments, messages, and mentions into one inbox, so you can respond quickly and never miss a lead. Request a demo to see this in action.

Additional Questions and Answers
“Isn’t it better to post natively on each platform?”
Answer: Not necessarily. Posting natively takes more time, and research shows that scheduled posts perform just as well in terms of reach and engagement (Hootsuite Research).
👉 Surge posts directly to the platforms through API connections, so your content goes live exactly as if you posted it yourself.
“How do I know when the best time to post is?”
Answer: The “right time” varies by platform, industry, and audience. Tools like Surge track when your audience is most active and recommend posting times for maximum visibility.
Evidence: Businesses that optimize posting times can increase engagement by up to 20% (HubSpot).
👉 Surge removes the guesswork – schedule smarter with our automation tools.
“Can I see all my analytics in one place?”
Answer: Yes. Instead of logging into each platform’s analytics separately, Surge consolidates your performance metrics.
👉 That means you can see which platforms are driving traffic, leads, and engagement at a glance.
