A social media presence is key for all businesses to attract new customers and engage with existing ones. But, keeping up with managing social media accounts for your business can be a full-time job in itself. From scheduling content to monitoring what's going on across different channels - there's a lot to juggle. Luckily, there are plenty of social media management tools out there that can make it easier.

We've rounded up a few of the top free social media management tools that can help you keep a strong social media presence.

A popular tool for social media management is Buffer. You can select one platform to post on or publish the same content across all of your accounts. You can also select certain times of the day to schedule. Select schedule next and the post will be automatically scheduled for that time. It has a 14-day free trial for its Essentials and Team plans but also a free version that allows for 10 scheduled posts per channel. You'll have to pay to upgrade but we've found their plans to be affordable for a small business.
