Review posts using Grammarly
Worried about sneaky typos in your social media content? With Grammarly built into Composer*, you can proofread and publish posts with confidence knowing that your writing is mistake-free.
Grammarly in Composer checks English spelling, grammar, and punctuation while you write. You don't need to download anything or create a Grammarly account.
Right now, Hootsuite is also giving free access to advanced suggestions to make your writing better, such as tone detection and suggestions, autocomplete, and rewrites for clarity, word choice, and inclusive language.
*Grammarly is now built into the post creation workflow, since the browser extension doesn't work with Hootsuite.
