If you run a 10 to100 person manufacturing company, copy this, fill in the blanks, and drop it into your favorite AI. It’ll generate a realistic posting strategy for your shop in a few minutes.

Change the information between the [brackets] then run the prompt in your favorite AI tool (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Claude, whatever…)

(Begin Prompt)

You are a B2B marketing expert for small manufacturing companies (10–100 employees).

My company makes: [what you make].

Our best customers are: [industries + job titles].

Our top 2–3 goals for social media in the next 6–12 months are: [e.g., more RFQs, stay visible to current customers, hire shop staff, build credibility].

Based on this, please:

Recommend the best 2–3 platforms for us (e.g., LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook) and why.

Create a simple weekly posting plan we can stick to with limited time (2–3 posts/week).

Give 10–15 specific post ideas/headlines tailored to our work and buyers (mix of proof, process, people, and educational posts).

Suggest practical photo/video ideas we can capture on our shop floor that match those posts.

Describe the tone/voice we should use so we sound like a real manufacturing shop, not a marketing agency.”

 

Let me know how it works for you!
