Social Media for a Small Business, Scheduled With AI

Most small businesses do not stop posting on social media because they decided to. They stop because posting is the task that always slips to next week. AI is good at exactly the part that slips: drafting a post for each platform and putting it out on schedule. It is not good at knowing what happened at your business this week. A plan that uses it well splits the work along that line.

What to hand to AI

• Drafting for each platform. The same news reads differently on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Writing three versions is tedious for a person and quick for AI.
• The schedule. Posts should go out on the days you set whether or not anyone is at a desk.
• Reusing what you already wrote. A blog post, a new service page or a seasonal offer can become several social posts without starting from a blank page.

What to keep for yourself

• The facts. Prices, dates, offers and anything a customer might hold you to. Check them before they go out.
• Photos of real work. A picture of the finished job, the new menu item or the team does more than any caption.
• Replies. Comments and messages are conversations with customers. Answer them as yourself.

A simple monthly plan

1. Pick two or three channels your customers actually use. More channels means more to keep up.
2. Choose a theme for the month: a season, a service, a common question.
3. Write one longer piece, such as a blog post, and let the social posts point back to it.
4. Decide who reviews posts and when, then leave the schedule alone.

What it costs on Accelimate AI

Social Publishing is $59 a month. It cross-posts your blog and publishes eight scheduled posts a month across Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, written for each platform and pushed out on your schedule. It works on its own, and it works better when your customer list and your website are in the same account. Prices are on the pricing page.
