Posts a Local Business Can Stop Making

Generic quote cards set aside next to a real job photo on a phone

A local business can stop posting quote graphics, recycled memes, and empty “we are grateful” cards. Those posts fill the grid and teach followers that the page has nothing to do with the work. Replace them with a job, a useful answer, or a real schedule change.

Stop these

  • Quote images that any company could post
  • Memes you did not make and that have nothing to do with the service
  • Stock photos of handshakes and skyline skylines that are not Reno
  • Reposts of your own ad with no new information
  • “Happy Monday” with no offer and no photo of the work

Post these instead

A finished job with the neighborhood. A one-sentence answer to a question from this week. A photo of the crew on a real job, with permission. A plain note when hours change because of weather or a holiday.

You do not need to announce that you are changing the strategy. Just stop the filler. The page will look more like the company within a month.

Check the last twelve posts

Scroll your own grid. If a stranger could not tell what you sell from those twelve frames, the mix is wrong. Keep any post that shows the work. You do not have to delete old quotes unless they are the first thing people see. Pin a proof post over them.

Replace the posts you stop, do not leave a hole

Stopping quote cards and “we are grateful” graphics only helps if a job photo takes their place. Look at the last twelve posts. Cross out the ones that could belong to any company in any city. For each one you remove from the plan, put a real job, a question you were asked, or a short before and after on the calendar.

You do not have to delete the old graphics. Just stop making new ones. The page will look like the work again within a month if the new posts are the jobs. If you have nothing to show this week, say nothing rather than filling the gap with a meme.

What to do in a week with no shoot is in what to post when there is no photoshoot.

The mix we actually publish is part of social media management. Ask for a look at the last month if you want the filler marked.
