How it works.
From a photo to posted, in chat.
Four steps. You choose when each post goes out, or let the agent pick the best time.
- 01
Set up your Brand Identity once
Paste your website or a social profile, or type in your details. Velocity saves your voice, colors, fonts, logo and audience as your Brand Identity, so every post looks like your business.
- 02
Send a photo, a few words or a link
Add a photo of the shop, a dish or new stock and say what to post, or paste a link to your blog post. The agent writes a caption for each platform and designs the post with your products kept as photographed.
- 03
Post at the best time for your customers
Say a time in plain words, or leave it out and the agent schedules the post at the best time for your audience and platform. On Free it uses a common best time for each platform.

See what worked and where your followers are
From Pro, analytics shows engagement, audience growth, your top posts and follower locations on Instagram and Facebook. Ask the agent in chat what the results mean.
Offers, events, new hours.
Your agents post them.
Ask in plain words. The agents work from your Brand Identity, your photos and the details you give them.
Offers and specials
Give the offer exactly as it should read, with the dates. The agent designs the post from your photos and puts your wording on it, word for word.
You ask“20% off all color services Tuesday to Thursday this week. Post it on Instagram and Facebook with this photo of the salon.”
Events
A tasting, a workshop or a sidewalk sale: share the date and time, and the agent writes the announcement and designs it for your feed and your Stories.
You ask“Sidewalk sale this Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm, everything in the window 30% off. Announce it on Thursday and post a reminder on Saturday.”
Hours and closures
Holiday hours, a closure or new opening times: tell the agent the days and the hours, and it posts the update to every account you choose.
You ask“We're closed on Thanksgiving and open 8 am to 2 pm on Friday, Nov 27. Post our holiday hours on Instagram and Facebook on Monday.”
