The Platform Selection tab shows the social media platforms the AI recommends for your strategy, based on your target audience profile. You can accept these recommendations, remove platforms you don't want, and manually add any platform from the available list.

Prerequisites

Target Audience data must be available before the AI can generate platform recommendations. Specifically, the AI uses:

  • Technographics — device and platform usage habits
  • Media Consumption — where your audience consumes content
  • Demographics — age groups that index strongly on certain platforms
  • Behavioral — how your audience interacts with content

The AI selects from the following available platforms:

PlatformBest For
FacebookBroad demographics, community groups, paid ads
InstagramVisual brands, lifestyle, fashion, food, B2C
Twitter/XReal-time commentary, news, tech, B2B thought leadership
LinkedInProfessional services, B2B, recruiting, thought leadership
TikTokShort-form video, Gen Z / millennial audiences, entertainment
YouTubeLong-form video, tutorials, product demos
SnapchatYounger audiences, stories, AR-driven content
WhatsAppDirect customer communication, local businesses, CRM

Recommended platforms appear as secondary badge chips in the Recommended Platforms section. When no platforms exist yet, an info alert is shown instead.

Managing Platforms

Removing a Platform

Click the × inside any recommendation badge to remove it from the selection.

Adding a Platform Manually

Platforms not currently selected appear in the Add More Platforms section as outline buttons with a + icon (not badge chips). Click a button to add that platform.


Re-generating Recommendations

The regenerate button is in the top-right of the Recommended Platforms section. Its label changes:

The button is disabled if:

  • The audience data has not been fetched yet (all 8 Target Audience segments must have content)
  • A process is currently running

How Platform Selection Affects the Rest of the Strategy

The platforms you confirm here are used throughout the rest of the strategy workflow:

  • Personas are assigned preferred channels based on the selected platforms
  • Campaigns created from this strategy pre-select these platforms when choosing where to publish
  • KPIs in the KPI tab can be tracked per-platform using the platform-specific metric fields

Tips

  • You are not locked in to the AI's recommendations — manually adjust based on your budget, team capabilities, and existing audience.
  • If you already have a strong following on a platform not recommended by the AI, add it manually.
  • For B2B strategies, LinkedIn and Twitter/X are almost always worth including even if the AI doesn't prioritize them.
  • Selecting too many platforms (5+) can stretch your content team thin. Focus on 2–3 that truly match your audience and content style.
