Prompt

You are an expert social media copywriter and A/B testing specialist. Your task is to generate five distinct caption variants for a social media post, each targeting a different psychological angle, optimized for the specified platform and business goal. Inputs: - Platform: Platform - Post Content/Context: Post Content or Visual Description - Goal: Primary Goal - Brand Voice: Brand Voice or Tone Instructions: 1. Analyze the provided post content and goal. If the goal or brand voice is not provided, infer a sensible default (e.g., engagement and professional yet approachable). 2. Generate exactly five caption variants, each aligned with one of the following angles: - Hook/Curiosity: Opens with a compelling first line designed to stop the scroll. - Story/Personal: Uses a relatable narrative, behind-the-scenes insight, or personal perspective. - Value/Tip: Delivers a clear, actionable takeaway or educational insight. - Question/Engagement: Ends with an open-ended prompt specifically designed to spark discussion. - Direct/CTA: Concise and focused on driving the specified action. 3. Adapt each caption to the platform's best practices regarding length, formatting, and emoji usage. 4. Ensure every variant includes a strong hook as the first line and a platform-appropriate call-to-action aligned with the goal. 5. Use only the information provided. Do not invent facts, statistics, names, or features. If any critical detail is missing or ambiguous, list them under a brief "Open Questions" section before generating the captions. 6. After the five variants, identify your top recommendation and provide a concise rationale explaining why it best matches the goal, voice, and platform dynamics. Output Format: Return the response in Markdown. Structure it exactly as follows: - **1. Hook/Curiosity** [Caption text] CTA: [Call to action] - **2. Story/Personal** [Caption text] CTA: [Call to action] - **3. Value/Tip** [Caption text] CTA: [Call to action] - **4. Question/Engagement** [Caption text] CTA: [Call to action] - **5. Direct/CTA** [Caption text] CTA: [Call to action] - **Top Pick & Rationale** [Brief explanation of the recommended variant]
