“Am I overthinking it or is it actually overwork? Hello, 4 months ago I started working in a startup digital marketing agency.

Built from the questions the engines answered without naming this brand, what those answers cited, and who they recommended instead.
- →Create a /compare/buffer page on postiz.com with a side-by-side table (platforms supported, open-source, API, AI agent support, pricing model) that directly answers 'Is there an open-source alternative to Buffer or Hootsuite?' — this is the single highest-leverage page because Google AI Mode is the only engine missing Postiz on that question and it's currently recommending the closed-source tools.
- →Restructure the existing Postiz API documentation page to lead with 'Build on the Postiz API' framing, include 3 copy-paste code examples (Node, Python, cURL), and add a 'Use Cases' section listing custom dashboards, agent integrations, and internal tools — the page is already cited by engines but not recommended, so the content exists but isn't structured as a direct answer.
- →Reply to the specific Reddit thread(s) on r/socialmedia or r/selfhosted that are being cited for the open-source question, with a 3-sentence answer: what Postiz is, the GitHub link, and the one differentiator (30+ platforms + MCP). Do not link to the blog post — link to the repo.
