Facebook and Instagram posting
Connect the Facebook Page and Instagram Business account you already use, and let Ranqly publish the posts you have approved -- on your schedule, under your control, and disconnectable at any time.
What connecting actually does
When you connect Facebook from your Ranqly account settings, you are asked to grant access to the Pages you manage. Ranqly uses that access to do three things, and only these three:
- Show you the Pages you manage, so you can choose which one Ranqly should use. Nothing publishes to a Page you have not selected.
- Publish the posts you have scheduled or approved inside Ranqly to that Page, and to the Instagram Business account linked to it.
- Read back basic performance on those posts, so you can see how your content did without leaving your dashboard.
How Instagram fits in
Instagram publishing runs through the Instagram Business or Creator account linked to your Facebook Page -- the same way Instagram's own tools work. If your Instagram account is linked to the Page you connected, approved posts can go to both. If it is not linked, Facebook posting works perfectly well on its own, and you can link Instagram later.
You decide what goes out
Ranqly drafts posts for your business, your services and the areas you serve. Every one of them can be held for your approval before it publishes, so you can read it, edit it, or throw it away. If you would rather not approve each post individually, you can let an approved schedule publish on its own. What gets posted, when, and to which accounts is always your decision.
Disconnect whenever you want
When you connect your Facebook Page directly to Ranqly, a Disconnect button sits beside it on the same settings screen -- available at any time, without contacting anyone, and publishing to those accounts stops immediately. You can also remove Ranqly from your own Facebook account settings, and you can request deletion of the data held for that connection -- see our privacy policy for how to do that and what we keep. If your accounts were linked through a third-party publishing partner instead, contact us and we will disconnect them for you.
Your data stays yours
Ranqly only accesses accounts you have explicitly connected, and only to run your own marketing. One customer's data is never used for another customer's. We do not sell it, and we do not use it to build advertising audiences. The privacy policy and terms of service spell out the details.
Alongside the rest of your local marketing
Facebook and Instagram posting sits next to Google Business Profile management in Ranqly, so the same approved content can keep every channel active. It works for any local service business -- HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, restaurants and food trucks, and more.

Frequently asked questions
What happens when I connect my Facebook Page?
Ranqly asks Facebook for the list of Pages you manage so you can pick one. Once you choose, Ranqly can publish the posts you have scheduled or approved to that Page, and read back basic performance on them. Nothing publishes to a Page you have not selected.
How does Instagram posting work?
Through the Instagram Business or Creator account linked to your Facebook Page. If it is linked, approved posts can publish to both. If not, Facebook posting still works on its own.
Does Ranqly post without asking me?
Only if you choose that. Posts can be held for your approval, or you can let an approved schedule publish automatically. It is your decision either way.
Can I disconnect later?
Yes. A Page connected directly to Ranqly has a Disconnect button on the same settings screen, and publishing stops immediately. You can also remove Ranqly from your Facebook account settings and request deletion of the connection data. If your accounts were linked through a third-party publishing partner, contact us and we will disconnect them.
Do you use my data for other customers?
No. Access is used only for the account that granted it.
