Troubleshooting
Solutions for the most common issues. If your problem is not listed here, contact support.
Posts not publishing
- Confirm the target platform is still connected. Go to Settings then Integrations and check for a green status.
- Check that you have approved the post. Pending posts will not publish until approved (unless auto-post is enabled).
- Verify your posting schedule has upcoming slots. Go to Settings then Schedule to confirm.
- Instagram requires a linked Facebook Page. If your Page was disconnected, reconnect via Meta Business Suite.
- If the post failed, check the error message on the Content Calendar — it usually explains what went wrong (e.g., image too small, caption too long).
Google Drive not syncing
- Make sure the Google account used for Drive is still authorized. Reconnect from Settings then Integrations if needed.
- Check that the correct folder is selected. If you moved photos to a different folder, update the folder selection.
- Only image files (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC) are synced. Other file types are ignored.
- Large folders may take longer to sync on the first run. Allow up to 15 minutes for initial sync.
- If photos appear in Drive but not in BoostLocal, try disconnecting and reconnecting the Drive integration.
Telegram not working
- Make sure you opened the BoostLocal bot link and tapped 'Start' in Telegram.
- Check that you did not block the bot. Open the chat with @BoostLocalBot and ensure it is not blocked.
- Try disconnecting and reconnecting Telegram from Settings then Integrations.
- Telegram notifications may be delayed if Telegram's servers are under load. Wait a few minutes and check again.
- If you changed your Telegram account, you will need to reconnect with the new account.
Reviews not appearing
- Reviews are pulled from Google Business Profile. Make sure your GBP is connected and the correct location is selected.
- New reviews may take a few minutes to appear after they are posted on Google.
- If reviews were appearing before but stopped, check that your GBP connection is still active in Settings.
- BoostLocal only monitors Google reviews. Reviews on other platforms (Yelp, Facebook) are not tracked.
Image scoring issues
- Scoring happens automatically after upload. If a photo shows no score, it may still be processing — wait a minute and refresh.
- Very small images (under 200x200 pixels) may receive a low score or fail to score. Use higher-resolution photos for best results.
- If you disagree with a score, you can manually override it from the Content Library.
- Corrupted or incomplete files will not be scored. Re-upload the original file if this occurs.
Billing issues
- If a charge failed, check that your card on file is valid and has sufficient funds. Update your payment method in Settings then Billing.
- Stripe will retry failed charges a few times. If all retries fail, your subscription will be paused.
- For refund requests, email [email protected] within 7 days of the charge.
- If you were charged after canceling, check that the cancellation was confirmed. You should have received a confirmation email.
