AI Social Media Posts for Local Businesses
Auto-generate on-brand social posts for small local businesses and sell a monthly calendar.
In plain English
Arian Adeli, in the US, runs Marky, which writes social posts for small local businesses such as restaurants, salons, and gyms. Give it a website or a brand, and it builds a month of posts, pictures included, then schedules them on Facebook and Instagram. Owners pay a monthly plan because they want that calendar without becoming designers. The AI does most of the writing, the pictures, and the scheduling. Arian still sells to local owners, helps each new shop get started, and answers support questions.
