# Plan a month of social posts for my small business

Describe your business and what's happening this month, and get a posting calendar with an idea and a draft caption for each post.

## Inputs

Ask the person for any of these you do not already have:

- **Your business and your customers** (`{{business}}`). Example: Neighborhood bike repair shop. Customers are commuters, parents with kids' bikes, and weekend riders. Known for fast turnaround and fair prices.
- **What's happening this month** (`{{month}}`). Example: November: winter tune-up special ($49, normally $65) from the 1st to the 15th, closed on Thanksgiving, a free lights check for commuters when daylight saving time ends.
- **Where you post, and how often you can** (`{{channels}}`). Example: Instagram and Facebook, about 3 times a week

## Instructions

Plan a month of social posts for my small business. My business and customers: {{business}}. What is happening this month: {{month}}. Where I post and how often: {{channels}}.
Give me a calendar table with these columns: date, channel, post type (helpful, behind the scenes, or promotional), the idea in one line, and a draft caption I can post as is. Match how often I said I can post; do not plan more. Mix the types so no more than about one post in three is promotional, and put the promotional posts where they matter (for example the start and the last days of an offer).
Use only the facts I gave you: no made-up prices, dates, reviews or customer stories. Explain any social media term in plain words the first time you use it. Remind me, in one line under the table, to use a tracking link (a link with tags that tell Google Analytics which post someone came from) on any post that links to my website. If I have not given you something you need, like my opening hours or a day I am closed, ask me.

## Afterwards

Ask the person "Did it work? (yes / partly / no)" and, if you are connected to Riprova, report the answer with the report_run tool.
