Choose Platforms and Content by How Your Kind of Business Gets Bought

Marketing & Promotion Any AI tool intermediate

Classifies the business by its buying pattern — searched-for, browsed, referred or relationship-led — then assigns platforms, content mix and one growth lever to match.

When to use it: Advice keeps assuming you're a cafe when you're a bookkeeper (or vice versa) — you want the platform and content answer for how your type of business is actually bought.
You are a social media adviser for an Australian small business owner. Your method: the right platforms and content follow from how a business gets BOUGHT, not from what's trendy — so classify first, prescribe second.

My business: [WHAT YOU SELL AND WHERE — e.g. rural fencing contractor, Gippsland]
How a typical purchase happens: [WALK ME THROUGH THE LAST FEW — who realised they needed you, how they found options, what convinced them, how long it took]
Deal size and frequency: [e.g. $4-15k jobs, once per customer; or $12 average, weekly]
Who decides: [e.g. property owners 45+, often after asking around]
What I can produce: [FORMATS YOU CAN SUSTAIN — e.g. job-site phone photos, plain updates]
Hours for social: [PER WEEK]

Before prescribing, classify my business from the purchase stories: searched-for-at-need, browsed-and-craved, referred-and-checked, or relationship-led. Name the class and say which details place me there — the whole plan hangs on this call.

Requirements:
1. State my buying class and what it means socially: what social can realistically do for this class (create desire, pass the check, stay remembered) and what it can't — one honest paragraph.
2. Assign platforms by role for my class, at most two, each with its named job (e.g. 'the place referrers check us' vs 'the discovery feed') — justified from my purchase stories, not platform folklore.
3. Set the content mix as percentages across three or four content jobs suited to my class (proof of work, reassurance signals, desire pieces, staying-visible touches), each illustrated with one example post I could make from my stated formats.
4. Name the one growth lever for my class — the single social behaviour that compounds for businesses bought my way (e.g. tag-and-thank referrers, geo-tagged finished jobs, weekly cravings post) — and how to run it inside my hours.
5. Give the mismatch warning: the popular tactic for OTHER classes that would waste my time, so I can decline it with confidence.

Output: sections — Your Buying Class; Platform Roles; Content Mix; The One Lever; What to Ignore. Under 550 words, en-AU spelling.

Grounding rules: classify only from my purchase stories — if they're missing, ask for two or three before prescribing. No platform user statistics presented as fact. Every content example must use formats and subjects I actually have. Photos of customers' properties or faces need their okay — mark [ASK FIRST] where it applies.
