Turn customer questions into social posts with a clear answer, a useful photo and one next step. Follow a cake-enquiry example and let Jedd help with the words.

Create social posts that sound like you. Give Jedd clear facts and a voice example, then use a simple read-aloud check to polish the caption before sharing.
To create social posts that sound like you, give Jedd the facts, one example of how you would say it and a clear next step for the reader. Let him draft or polish the caption, then read it aloud and change any wording you would not use with a customer.
“Elevate your weekend with a stunning floral arrangement.”
Would you say that to someone standing at your shop counter? If the answer is no, it probably doesn't belong on your business page either.
Getting help with your captions shouldn't mean borrowing a personality. You bring the facts, the point you want to make and a sense of how you talk. Jedd can turn that into a draft. Then you make the final call.
Here is how to give him a useful starting point without writing the whole post yourself.
For an illustrative florist example, imagine these are the details for a post:
Friday bunches are ready. Pink and white flowers this week. Pickup at the shop. Ask people to message to check availability before visiting. Warm and straightforward. No fancy wording.
Those notes are short, but they're specific. They tell Jedd what is available, what it looks like and what the customer should do next.
They also leave things out on purpose. There is no price, closing time, delivery promise or list of flower varieties. Unless you supply those facts, they shouldn't appear in the finished post.
Put the notes into Jedd's New post caption box and use the draft/polish control. You don't need to make the rough version attractive first.
“Make it friendly” is a start. One sentence you would genuinely use is more helpful.
For example:
We would say “Friday bunches are ready if you fancy some colour at home.” We wouldn't say “Discover our exquisite collection.”
You can include that guidance alongside your notes. It gives Jedd a clear direction: simple words, a familiar invitation and no grand claims.
Your Brand Pack is another place to keep your business details and voice guidance. Keep those details current, especially when services or offers change. For the individual post, include the facts that matter in the notes rather than assuming a general business description covers them.
Here is one possible editorial rewrite of our florist notes:
Friday bunches are ready, with pink and white flowers this week. A bit of colour for your place, or something to take when you're visiting.
Pickup is at the shop. Send us a message to check what's available before you head over.
This is not the only right version. If “a bit of colour for your place” sounds unlike you, change it. If your business normally uses shorter captions, trim it. If you speak more formally, ask Jedd to adjust the tone.
You can keep the useful structure without keeping every word. Start with what is happening, add the detail that helps someone decide, then give them one clear next step.
Read the draft as though you were explaining it to a customer. Listen for three things.
Words you don't use. “Exquisite”, “elevate” and “unparalleled” may be accurate in some contexts, but they often sneak into simple posts where everyday words would work better.
A claim you didn't supply. “Selling fast”, “our most popular” and “back by demand” sound plausible. They still need to be true. Remove them if you haven't established them.
A next step that doesn't match the business. If you take enquiries by message, don't finish with “book online” unless there really is a booking route. Make it easy for readers to do the thing you actually want.
This check is about the wording in front of you, not about making every post perfect.
A real photo of the bunches already shows the colours and arrangement. The caption can add what the photo cannot: whether they are available now, how pickup works and how to check before visiting.
That also helps keep the post natural. You don't need three sentences describing how beautiful something is when readers can see it. Use the words to answer the next useful question.
For service businesses, the same approach works with a job photo. Let the image show the work. Use the caption to explain the detail or decision someone might otherwise miss.
The goal is a useful post in your voice, not a test of whether you can write from scratch.
Give Jedd the facts and a little direction. Let him draft or polish. Check the result, make the few changes that matter, then save or schedule it for your selected destinations.
For a complete worked example, see how a job photo becomes a social post. Or start for free with a photo and a few notes from your own business.
Include a sentence you would actually say, explain the tone you want and supply the facts for the post. Read the draft aloud and change phrases that feel borrowed.
Check names, products, prices, availability and any promises against your own information. Remove unsupported claims and make sure the next step matches how customers contact or buy from you.
No. Keep the useful wording and structure. Change only what needs correcting or does not sound like you; you can also ask Jedd to make the tone simpler, warmer or more direct.
