Decks and Service Lists
This is for your main content deck for the client which would have a minimum of Facebook services attached, if applicable.
1 - Client name from Salesforce – Facility ID (FID - found in Salesforce)
There is a space, dash, space between the pieces of information.
Services only that are not posted to Facebook due to the content type or dimensions.
Account name – which platforms posting to (ie – Google, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.)
Group for posting engaging, seasonal, promotions/rebates, etc.
Group name should be the same as the Deck (ex.- Group 1 – engaging – amount of times posting per week)
Content Requirements
Timely content (promotions, events, seasonal, holiday hours, giveaways, etc.) needs to be scheduled, not in a Deck.
Decks can go out year-round, and be a set it and forget it content strategy
Recycling main client Decks need to have a minimum of 60 posts at one time.
75% of recycling service content in clients’ main deck needs to be branded using client colors and logo.
75% of recycling service content in clients’ main deck needs to have appropriate Call To Actions (CTAs) including website links, clients’ phone numbers, clients’ street address, links to their social media platforms, etc.

For multi-locations, utilize a location finder from the client’s website, location landing pages from the client’s website, or use verbiage like ‘Visit your nearest location/store’ or rotate location information.
Engaging content should NOT be used for Google Posts due to the nature of the platform and posting dimension requirements.
All content, regardless of the category or type of post, should meet the following expectations:
All verbiage is grammatically correct.
All information is accurate and has been fact-checked.
Absolutely no political or religious content.
Humor is appropriate for all ages.
No Curse words, drug references, weapons
Graphic Quality-
Memes with imgflip watermarks are okay
Memes style has lower quality so use your judgement
Avoid all other watermarks, content should be created in house for authenticity
Expectations for Informational Content-
Avoid obvious information with Informational posts.
Get your point across using fewer words.
Fact-check your information.
Use introductions for information that may seem random. (If it is not automotive content, an introductive statement should be applied:)
Fun fact

Must be created by graphics team.
Expectations for Memes-
Avoid overused viral memes that everyone has seen.
Absolutely no religious or political content.
Make sure the images are high quality.
You may create your own memes using a meme generator.
You may not use copyrighted memes. (ex. “Someecards” or “Yourecards”)
Expectations for Engaging Content
Avoid inappropriate questions.
Utilize different engagement strategies in each queue.
Be creative and try new things.

Deck Requirements
Status of Deck (for recycling, main client Decks):
Red = 60 pieces of content in the Deck or less
Yellow = 120 pieces of content in the Deck or less
Green = 240 pieces of content in the Deck or less
If a Deck needs to be paused for any duration of time, a reason for the pause will be required to be submitted.
Make sure the content is shuffled so there is an even distribution of service content (i.e. - no alignment, tires, oil change, etc. posts one after another/back to back).
If an automotive client requests a content strategy outside of our SOP, it is required that you first speak with the client about the importance of our content strategy and add some engaging content (once or twice a week).
If the client insists that they want a different content strategy from there, you must pitch the new content strategy to your supervisor for approval. From there, your supervisor with work with the development team to ensure failsafes are in place to prevent posting errors.
One-off industry clients should have the same deck requirements. See supervisor for questions or content approval.
