People use our tools and guides to make real decisions about what they post. This page explains how we write, check and update what you read on sociallyhive.
How we write
- Useful first. Each page should help you finish a task. We write in plain English, keep steps short and explain terms like RPM or reach the first time they come up.
- Tested, not guessed. Before we explain how to do something, we try it on the platform ourselves. Tool pages use worked examples you can run.
- Honest about limits. Earnings and engagement figures vary a lot between accounts. When a number is a rough guide, we say so.
Where our facts come from
For image sizes, character limits and monetization rules, we start with each platform’s own help centre and creator documentation, such as YouTube’s official help centre. When platforms don’t publish a figure, we test it with real uploads and posts and tell you that we did.
Reviews and updates
Platforms change specs without much warning, so we review our size guides and limits on a regular schedule and whenever a platform announces a change. Tool pages show the date they were last reviewed.
Corrections
If you find a mistake, email editorial@sociallyhive.com with the page and what you think is wrong. We check every report. When we confirm an error, we fix it promptly, and for changes that matter we note what changed on the page.
Independence
We aren’t owned by, paid by or affiliated with any of the platforms we cover. If the site runs advertising, advertisers have no say over our tools, results or guides. We don’t accept payment to recommend a product, and if we ever publish sponsored content, we’ll label it clearly.
Use of AI
Some generator tools build suggestions from templates and word lists that run in your browser. Our guides may use AI-assisted drafting or research, but a person checks facts, tests the steps and edits every page before it goes live.
