What's new in Octoque

Week of 12 October 2026

1. 18 October 2026

   Boost a live post, Mentions, client reports and approvals on Creator

   • NewBoost this post: turn a post that's already live on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X or Pinterest into an ad, keeping its likes and comments. Pick a budget, days, a simple audience and a goal; you confirm every spend, and the platform charges your own ad account. Spend, reach, clicks and cost per result show on the post. On Creator, Studio and the trial. See it
   • NewMentions (Studio): track up to 10 keywords or brand names and see the posts that use them on Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram and Threads, newest first. Optional mood and topic by Octoque AI, and mentions per day in your Monday email. Mentions are deleted after 90 days. See it
   • NewClient reports: a results page for one account or all of them over any dates, shared by link and saved as a PDF in one tap. See it
   • NewStudio: put your agency's logo, name and colour on client reports and brand results links, in place of Octoque's. The colour is checked so white text on it stays easy to read. See it
   • ImprovedApprovals now come with Creator ($29, 2 seats) as well as Studio: posts by editors and contributors wait for a manager's OK. See it
   • NewContinue with Google: sign up and log in with your Google account, on the web and in the iPhone and Android app. Link or unlink it under You → Sign-in & security, which now holds your password and Sign out everywhere too. See it
   • PrivacyFrom Google we receive only your name, email and Google account ID, and keep no Google access. An account with the same email is linked only if that email was already confirmed, so nobody can take over an account by signing up with someone else's address. See it
