Refine your direction ✍️

Once you’ve searched your topic, you’ll see a list of different directions you can take your social media content. Each direction will give you a small blurb on the idea of the caption before you select it. Select your favorites before clicking “Get Post Ideas.”

Not seeing any directions you particularly like? That’s okay! Click the “Start again” button at the top to get new results!

Get post ideas 💭

Now that you know what direction you want to take your content, it’s time to figure out what ideas you want the AI Social Marketing Assistant to write! Each creative route you’ve selected will have four post ideas you can select from for the AI Assistant to dig deeper into.

If you don’t like any of the post ideas, click “Add 4 More” or “Replace All” to get more ideas based on your creative route.

Once you’ve selected a few ideas, add them to the Content Lab!

Craft the perfect caption ✨

The idea has now been added to Your Ideas in your Caption Lab and now it’s time to craft the perfect caption for your content!

Select the idea from the Content Lab and select:

Length: How long or short do you want the caption to be?
Included Content: Do you want a list, anecdote, quote, fact, or a call-to-action added to your caption? Let the AI Assistant know here!
Writing Style: Let the Assistant know how you want to sound in the caption!
Point of View: Figure out what point of view you want the caption written—first, second, or third

Now that you’ve selected the overall basic ideas of the caption, click “Generate Caption” and the AI Assistant will deliver you a one-of-a-kind caption for your content.

Don’t like the caption? That’s okay! You have a few options to get the best caption for your content:

Re-write: Want the caption written completely differently? Cool, click this and the AI Assistant will write you a whole new caption for your content.
Adjust tone: The tone not quite hitting for you? Select the type of tone you’d like the AI to write in—from playful to serious to enthusiastic, you can make the caption exactly the tone of voice you’re looking for.
Refine: one of our favorite features is the refine! If you want the caption to be less “funny” or more rebellious” let the AI Assistant know and it’ll tweak the caption for you.

Add the best hashtags possible #️⃣

Now that you have the best caption made for your content, it’s time to find the best hashtags too! And that’s as easy as 1-2-3. Click the “hashtags” button under the caption and the AI Assistant tool will auto-generate the best hashtags based off of your caption.

Yeah, it’s really that easy. Select the hashtags you want to include and then select “Add to Scheduler” to start scheduling your perfect caption, hashtags, and content.
