What worked

  • +Urgency-framed Reels outperformed every other format. The "your furnace already knows" hook drove the month's top saves.
  • +Review showcase posts on GBP drove the most profile actions. Real customer words beat brand claims again.
  • +Tuesday and Saturday mornings were the strongest posting windows on IG.

What we learned

  • Price-led posts underperformed across all platforms. Retiring the angle for now.
  • The winning trigger was loss aversion, not humor. November reuses the trigger with fresh hooks. No hook from the last 6 months repeats.
  • Your edit pattern favors shorter captions. The engine has adjusted its default length for your brand.

Next month's plan

  • 01Double down on loss-aversion hooks in Reels with 3 fresh openers. Zero hook repeats from the trailing 6 months.
  • 02Two new review showcase posts from October's 5-star reviews, cleared for use.
  • 03Shift 2 posts into the Tuesday and Saturday morning windows.
  • 04Winter maintenance promo (from your Oct 14 meeting notes) leads week one.

Why it matters

For agencies, this page is retention.

Clients don't churn because content was bad. They churn because they can't see the work. A one-page brief with real numbers, delivered on the 1st under your logo, answers "what am I paying for" before it gets asked. See the white-label program
