Your last post was in March
Not because you decided to stop. Almost every quiet business page follows the same path: keen for a month, patchy for two, then nothing — and the reasons are always the same three.
It's nobody's job
It belongs to whoever has a spare half hour, which means it belongs to nobody once the week gets busy.
The blank box
Deciding what to post is harder than posting. Most weeks it stalls at not knowing what to say rather than not having time to say it.
It doesn't feel urgent
Nothing breaks the day you skip it. The cost only shows up months later, when the account looks abandoned to someone deciding whether to call you.
It matters because a customer checking you out before they call doesn't see an empty page as neutral. They see a business that might not be trading.
What it takes off you
All four parts, not just the posting
Scheduling tools handle the last one. The first three are where the evening actually goes.
Deciding what to post
From a topic bank matched to your trade and the questions customers actually ask, or from your own list if you'd rather steer it.
Writing it properly
In your business's voice, with a hook that earns the swipe and a close that asks for the call. Not a stock caption with your logo on it.
Making it look professional
Your colours, your logo, your fonts, on every slide. Nobody needs to know you don't have a designer.
Actually posting it
Published straight to Instagram, TikTok and your Facebook Page through their own APIs, spread across the day.
What it posts
The questions you already answer on the phone
These are real topics from the built-in bank for home and trades businesses. Turn on Auto-Create and it works through them for you, or give it your own list.

They work because someone searching for a business like yours is already wondering about exactly these things. Answering them is what makes a page worth following rather than another feed of van photos.
Automatic, not out of control
You keep the final say
The worry isn't whether it works. It's not knowing what it's about to say with your name on it.
You see it before it goes out
The day's posts land on one screen. Change a line, drop one you don't like, or approve the lot in a couple of seconds — and you can switch that off once you trust it.
It looks like your business
Your colours, your logo, your fonts and your tone, set once and applied to everything after. Nothing goes out looking like a stock template.
It tells you when something breaks
If an account stops posting or a connection expires, you get an email that morning — rather than discovering it months later.
It starts gently
A new account posts once a day at first and builds up weekly. Going from nothing to six posts a day overnight is how accounts get buried.
The comparison that matters isn't against other software
It's against the two things you'd otherwise do: pay someone, or keep meaning to do it yourself. One business on $29 a month is the version of this worth costing out — and the honest bar is whether a single job won from it covers the year.
Questions people ask first
- I'm a plumber, not a marketer. Is this going to be too complicated?
- Setup is about ten minutes: your colours and logo, a sentence about what you do, and connecting the accounts you already have. After that the only thing you'd do regularly is glance at what it's about to post, and plenty of people stop doing even that.
- What would it actually post about my business?
- The questions you already answer on the phone every week — what a job costs, what to check before winter, the mistake that turns a cheap fix into an expensive one. Those make good posts precisely because a customer searching for you is already wondering about them.
- Will it post something wrong about my business?
- It writes from a brand brief you set up, including the things you do and don't want mentioned, and the day's posts land on one approval screen before anything goes out. For the first fortnight most people read every post; after that they've usually seen enough to trust it. You can also turn approval off entirely, which is a decision worth making deliberately rather than by default.
- How much does this cost compared to hiring someone?
- Solo is $29/month for one business, 3 connected accounts and up to 1 post a day per account. That's the comparison worth doing — not against other software, but against what an agency retainer or a part-time hire would cost you for the same output.
- Do I need to be on TikTok?
- No. Connect only the accounts you actually want — Facebook alone is a perfectly reasonable setup for a local business whose customers live there. Adding Instagram later doesn't mean redoing anything.
- What if I go on holiday?
- It keeps posting. That's rather the point — the weeks you're busiest are exactly the weeks a business normally goes quiet online, and those are the weeks this is worth paying for.
- What happens if something stops working?
- You get an email the morning it happens. Access tokens are renewed nightly before anything tries to publish, and if an account goes quiet or a connection breaks a daily health check tells you — instead of you finding out months later that nothing has posted since March.
- Can I try it before paying?
- Two ways. The free plan makes five carousels with no card so you can see whether the output is good enough for your business — though it downloads rather than posts. The 7-day trial turns on the posting so you can watch a real week happen; that one takes a card and cancels any time before it ends.
Give it a week and see
Set it up in ten minutes, watch what it posts, and decide with a week of real output in front of you rather than a demo.
Full features for 7 days, cancel any time before it ends. Card required to start the trial so posting can begin immediately — or take five carousels free on the no-card plan, for ever.
