Quick Start Guide

This guide takes you from a blank account to your first published content batch. The full process takes about 10 minutes.

Step 1. Create your account (~2 minutes)

Go to maxsocials.com and click Get early access. You'll enter:

• Your name and work email
• Your agency or company name
• A password (8+ characters, no other constraints)

After confirming your email, you land in the Max Socials dashboard. Your account starts with one workspace. All client brands you add live inside this workspace.

Step 2. Connect a brand (~3 minutes)

A brand is the unit Max Socials uses to scope content, discovery sources, and publishing channels. Each client you manage gets its own brand.

From the dashboard, click Add Brand. You'll fill in:

• Brand name, displayed in reports and the dashboard sidebar
• Industry, used to seed your initial discovery sources
• Primary language, defaults to English (US)
• Time zone, controls when scheduled posts go out
• Logo (optional), appears in white-label client reports

Click Create Brand. Max Socials provisions the brand in under 10 seconds and drops you into its settings screen.

Step 3. Configure discovery sources (~3 minutes)

Discovery sources tell Max Socials where to watch for trending topics. The Intelligence Loop scores every signal by velocity, brand relevance, and competition gap before surfacing it to you.

From the brand's settings screen, open Settings → Discovery. Add at least two sources to give the scoring engine enough signal diversity. Two practical starting points:

• Google Trends (category), pick the top-level category that matches the brand's industry. Max Socials polls this every 4 hours.
• Keyword watchlist, add 5–10 brand-relevant keywords (product names, competitor names, niche terms). The engine tracks search velocity and social mentions for each.

Click Save Sources. Discovery runs automatically from this point forward. Your first set of trend scores appears within 4 hours; the Intelligence Loop starts learning from your feedback after the first batch.

Step 4. Run your first content batch (~2 minutes to trigger)

A batch is a set of content pieces generated from the highest-scoring discovery opportunities. You trigger it manually the first time, then set a recurring schedule once you've reviewed the output.

From the brand dashboard, click New Batch. Choose:

• Channels, select the social platforms you want content for (Instagram, LinkedIn, X, etc.)
• Piece count, start with 5–10 pieces for your first run
• Content types, short-form post, long-form post, video script, or image prompt

Click Generate. The AI engine drafts each piece, applies your brand voice settings, and formats content per channel. Generation takes 30–90 seconds depending on piece count and content type. Once complete, every piece lands in the Review queue for your approval before anything goes out.

What next

You now have a brand configured, discovery running, and your first batch in review. Three places to go from here:

• Platform Overview, understand how discovery, production, and distribution connect into a closed loop.
• Content Pipeline Setup, configure templates, approval workflows, and brand voice constraints for a client account.
• Distribution Scheduling, connect your social channels and set up AI-optimized posting schedules.
