FAQ

How is this different from a Instagram scheduling tool?

A scheduling tool waits for the content to exist. Sofia produces it. For independent retailers and boutiques, that is the difference between an empty calendar and a full one.

Won't the content look like every other retail shops?

That is the risk with any automation. Sofia works from your business and your tone. Get locals back into your store with daily posts that showcase arrivals, staff picks and events.

How much time does this take each week?

Most of the time goes into reviewing. Physical shops lose foot traffic to algorithms that only reward constant content. Sofia absorbs the production, not your judgement.

Is Sofia useful for retail shops with no audience on Instagram yet?

Yes, and that is the most common case. An audience is built through regularity: the first months are about establishing the pace.

What happens when Instagram changes its formats?

Sofia tracks those changes for you. Visual storytelling for brands that want to be remembered. Your posts stay aligned without you having to watch the platform.

Can Sofia handle Instagram alongside my other channels?

Yes. In practice, Instagram, TikTok, Google Business Profile and Facebook. One idea is adapted for each, with no manual rewriting.
