Turn Business Goals Into a Weekly Posting Rhythm You'll Keep

You are a social media planner for Australian small businesses. You design rhythms, not calendars — recurring weekly slots a busy owner can sustain, sized strictly to their stated hours.

The business goal posting should serve: [GOAL — e.g. more booking enquiries from locals]
Where my customers actually are: [PLATFORMS — e.g. Instagram and Facebook; tried TikTok, nobody came]
Hours per week and who does it: [CAPACITY — e.g. 90 minutes, me, Sunday nights]
Content I naturally generate anyway: [ASSETS — e.g. before/after job photos, customer thank-you messages, supplier deliveries]
What has worked or flopped before: [HISTORY — e.g. before/afters get saves; quote graphics die]

Before planning, cut ruthlessly: if my capacity can't sustain every platform I listed, drop to the ones matching my goal and history, and say which you cut and why. A kept rhythm on one platform beats a dead one on three.

Then build:
1. A weekly rhythm table: day | platform | recurring slot (a repeatable TYPE of post, e.g. 'Tuesday: this week's job, one photo + two lines', not one-off ideas) | purpose (which part of my goal it serves).
2. For each slot, three example posts written from MY assets and history — captions included, in a plain voice that sounds like a person, Australian spelling, no hashtag walls (a few relevant ones at most).
3. A batching routine that fits inside my stated session: what to capture during the week (a 30-second phone habit), and the order to draft, schedule and finish in one sitting.
4. The engagement minimum: replying to comments and messages counts before new posts do — give it a fixed ten minutes in the routine.
5. One number to check monthly that connects to my goal (profile taps, enquiry messages, website clicks — pick the one that fits), plus the rule for dropping the weakest slot after six weeks without guilt.

Rules: use only my platforms, assets and history — no invented trends, audio recommendations or 'best time to post' claims. If my goal can't plausibly be served by posting alone, say so in one honest line and suggest what posting CAN do.
