Quick Answer:
Businesses can use AI without losing authenticity by using it behind the scenes for research, organization, and drafting while keeping strategy, storytelling, and client communication human-led. AI should enhance human expertise—not replace it.
At Viewport Inc., we arm local businesses with the same high-level AI strategies used by global giants. The secret is surprisingly simple: you have to teach the AI about your brand. By providing it with your unique context, you empower your favorite AI platform to generate social media ideas that sound exactly like you — not like a generic chatbot. We will show you how to make AI sound like your brand.
The Strategy: Context is King
AI isn’t here to do the work for you — it’s here to make your work better. The key is setting specific brand “anchors,” like your favorite inspiration brands and your service location. Give the AI a compass, and it’ll follow it.
We’ve simplified this into a 5-minute workflow that delivers a genuine, brand-aligned social media strategy every time.
Step 1: See the Strategy in Action
We tested this prompt template using a criminal defense attorney in Beverly Hills. Notice how the prompt gives Gemini all the necessary context — tone, location, competitors, and format.

“I would like your help to improve my business’s presence on Instagram. I am an attorney and my business is a law firm in Beverly Hills focused on DUI and criminal defense cases in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.

- Brand Inspiration: I would like to model my branding after [The Irvine Company] and [The Ritz-Carlton].
Please search for the top three attorneys or law firms based on overall Instagram presence in Los Angeles and New York City. Use that data to create a 30-day content plan with suggestions for captions and descriptions. Please also summarize everything into a table that can easily be copied into a Word doc.
