Cross-Platform Social Media Scheduling & Performance Analytics
Content creators producing dozens of short-form clips weekly needed a unified scheduling and analytics system to distribute content across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels from a single dashboard — with insights to optimize posting strategy.

The Challenge
Managing multi-platform content distribution was fragmented and time-consuming:
- Each platform (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram) required separate uploads with different metadata requirements
- Optimal posting times varied by platform and audience timezone
- No unified view of performance metrics across platforms
- Creators spent more time uploading and scheduling than creating content
- AI-generated metadata (titles, descriptions, hashtags) needed per-platform optimization
Our Solution
We built a cross-platform scheduling and analytics engine integrated directly into the video creation pipeline, enabling creators to go from raw long-form video to scheduled multi-platform posts in a single workflow.
Architecture
- Scheduling Engine: Calendar-based scheduling with per-platform optimal timing
- Platform APIs: Direct integration with TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram publishing APIs
- Metadata Generation: LLM-powered title, description, and hashtag generation
- Analytics Aggregator: Unified dashboard pulling metrics from all connected platforms
- Account Management: Multi-account support for agencies managing multiple creators
- Frontend: React-based calendar UI with drag-and-drop scheduling
Distribution Workflow
- Clip Generation - AI creates short-form clips from long-form content
- Metadata Generation - AI generates platform-optimized titles, descriptions, and hashtags
- Schedule Selection - Creator selects posting times via calendar or uses AI-recommended slots
- Multi-Platform Queue - Single clip queued for simultaneous or staggered posting across platforms
- Automated Publishing - System publishes at scheduled times via platform APIs

Frequently Asked Questions
MicrocosmWorks built a platform-aware queue manager that maintains per-platform rate limit budgets and automatically spaces posts to comply with each API's restrictions. The system handles platform-specific requirements like Instagram's carousel format, TikTok's video length limits, and LinkedIn's document post formats, adapting content delivery for each channel.
MicrocosmWorks created a normalized engagement scoring system that maps platform-specific metrics like TikTok views, Instagram reach, and LinkedIn impressions into comparable units. The analytics dashboard provides cross-platform cohort analysis, showing which content themes, posting times, and formats drive the highest normalized engagement across all channels simultaneously.
Yes, MicrocosmWorks implemented a time-slot optimization algorithm that analyzes 90 days of historical engagement data per platform and generates per-account optimal posting windows. The recommendation engine accounts for audience timezone distribution, platform-specific peak hours, and content-type performance to suggest the best scheduling slots for each post.
MicrocosmWorks built a content adaptation pipeline that can automatically reformat assets for each platform, including aspect ratio cropping for vertical/horizontal variants, thumbnail generation, caption length trimming, and hashtag optimization per platform's algorithm preferences. Users can review and override automatic adaptations before scheduling.
MicrocosmWorks delivers social media management platforms at rates of $20-$40/hr, with a full scheduling and analytics system including multi-platform API integration, content adaptation, and the analytics dashboard typically requiring 500-750 development hours. Ongoing API maintenance to handle platform changes is typically 20-30 hours per quarter.
