Account setup

A few minutes spent on setup makes every post that follows faster and more on-brand. Here’s the order we recommend.

​

Create your account

Sign up at dashboard.rheos.app with Sign up with Google, or with an email address and password. Then comes a short form. Only Name is required. The rest helps Rheos get your brand right first time:

• Company Name. Tick UK company to search Companies House instead of typing it.
• Website. Rheos reads it to work out what you sell, who for, and how you sound.
• Your handles on X and Instagram, so Rheos writes in your voice. Instagram needs a business or creator account.
• Import memories from ChatGPT or Claude, or Upload documents about the business.
• How did you hear about Rheos?

Select Get started and one chat builds your brand and your posting plan with you. While it reads your website, it asks what you want from social media and which platforms you and your business use. Then come a few questions about the brand, and a request for your logo if Rheos couldn’t find one. Rheos decides how many posts a week to plan from your goal, so that is never a question. If a platform in your plan isn’t connected yet, the chat offers a Connect your accounts card, with Skip for now if you’d rather do it later. The chat ends on Your brand’s set up. Select Create my first post to go straight to a post, or Go to your home for Home. Home is the first item in the sidebar, and everything else in these guides starts there.

​

Your plan and free trial

Rheos has one plan, Social Media Manager, at £55 a month inc. VAT. It covers one business plus your personal account, for one person. Every new account starts with a 10-day free trial, and you don’t need a card to start it. The sidebar shows how many days are left. To keep the plan, add a card from Settings → Billing. If you don’t add a card by the end of the trial, the account moves to Free: one business brand, 3 posts a week and about 80 images a month. See plans for what the plan includes.

​

Find your way around settings

Open Settings from the row of icons at the bottom of the sidebar. It opens on Account, and the pages are: Team appears once you’re on a paid plan. Everything else is there from day one. Only the workspace owner can change the plan, the card or cancel.

​

Your account and sign-in

Open Settings → Account to set your display name and pick an avatar — twelve built-in options, picked rather than uploaded. Sign-in security lives on the same page:

• Change Password — enter your current password, then the new one twice.
• Sign-in Methods — shows whether Google and Email & Password are set up on your account.
• Email Verification — confirm your address, or select Resend if the link never arrived. Check your junk folder first.
• Danger Zone — delete your account and its data. There’s no undo.

​

Connect your socials

Open Settings → Social Accounts. You’ll see a row for your personal account and a row for each business brand. Each row has a badge: Not connected, a count of what is connected, or an amber needs attention warning. Your business’s row opens by default; expand any other to see its accounts. A business brand can connect Company Pages (LinkedIn), Instagram (Business or Creator account), Facebook and X (Twitter). Your personal account gets Personal Profile (LinkedIn) and X (Twitter). You only need the platforms you actually post to, and you can add more later. Publishing and scheduling stay switched off for a platform until an account is connected to it.

​

Notifications and Inbox

The bell at the bottom of the sidebar opens a short list of recent notifications. Select one to open it in full, or use See all notifications to go to your Inbox. The Inbox has four tabs — All, System, Individual and Unread. Opening a message marks it as read; Mark all read clears the unread count in one go.

​

Invite your team

Social Media Manager is for one person, so inviting teammates isn’t part of the plan right now. Settings → Team still opens the Members page, but it’s locked, with a View plans button. If you need colleagues in your workspace, message us from the ? in the sidebar.
