Offline -Social Media Management Help

Hi,
I am Rahman and I have a Consulting firm which deals with seo and social media management for local clients.

Recently I got a online clothing e commerce stores client for social media management and PPC ads.

My question is this:

I am using hootsuite for automating the tweets with scheduled timings.

When I used it ,hootsuite sends tweets at set time but it shows sent via hootsuite.

I don't want my client to see it is sent via hootsuite.

Due to this,I have not connected my clients FB page for automatic updates.

If I connect my client Fb page ,will it show as "updated via hootsuite" or not.

I am using a free version now.Will this message "updated via hootsuite" will display in twitter and facebook updates even If I buy a PRO account in Hootsuite.?

Though there are many services ,Can anybody recommend a better service or how to use Hootsuite better to avoid this message.?

I don't want my client to know its automated .It's not that I want to fool my client ,I just want to automate the whole process and be safe and client values my services.

Any advice and guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance to all warriors.

Rahman

    My advise would be if you are being employed as a Social Media Management company I wouldn't be using an automated service to post on your behalf....

    Honestly, do your clients even know what HootSuite is? Would they care? IMO I don't think they would really notice and/or give a damn, but I could be wrong.

    If you're generating leads with this, how are you doing it? Cold calls?

    Best of luck!

    I am managing their fb and twitter and generating traffic to their site. and gaining authoority.

    They may not know now,but when they see hootsuite in message anybody can learn it what is from their site.

    And my clients are quite well educated...

    I just want advice whether the word "sent via hootsuite "will show up or not in pro version or any other tools which does this.

    Thanks in advance

    I am against using Hootsuite or any other tool to automate social media. Please don't connect the 2 accounts and and send out the same update to both platform.

    Facebook has a place

    Twitter has it's place

    I can't stand seeing people use hasgtags/@ symbols on Facebook as I look at them and think, "Do they know what the are doing?" Especially for businesses.

    What are you going to do when a follower/fan asks you something?

    Are you going to answer on the behalf of the business? Will you know the answer?

    The social "media" sites are platforms to ask questions, educate, share information and be authentic. You can't automate authenticity.

    I would suggest using Hootsuite only when you know you are available to post something. Like Alanis Morissette..are you really her? haha, I doubt your client knows what Hootesuite is.
    I prefer posting directly to Facebook, you can add more tags and share better.

    Thanks for all your inputs.

    However ,but without automating things its becomes little hectic in time as Social Media takes a lot of time even though in minutes.

    I heard from many top notch guys like Ryan Deiss ,Maria Guidelis and many use hootsuite. in their courses.

      You can semi automate posts on facebook by clicking on the clock found on the bottom left of the post section. So when you go to type something in their you will see it then. Just add the year, time, date, etc to when you want that post displayed. You can even go back in time if you need

    I use Hootsuite also, but I think our followers / Likers doesn't mind if there's hootsuite signature below our status/tweets.
