What is an FAQ Post?
An FAQ post answers one question your customers keep asking, in public and in their words. It's the social media version of an FAQ page: the question as the hook, a straight answer, then the worry underneath it. It handles an objection before anyone gets on a call.

A list of FAQs is a listicle
Example
An example FAQ post
Written for a home cleaning business, best as a text post. We wrote it to show the shape. Yours would come from what you have already said.
"Do I need to be home while you clean?" No. Most of our clients leave a key or a lockbox code. We text when we arrive and when we leave, with a photo of anything we noticed. A dripping tap, a blind that's stuck. If you'd rather be home the first time, that's fine too.
What it is
The answer you are tired of typing
An FAQ post takes one objection or question and answers it in public. It saves you the repeat, and it lets people who were never going to book a call still get the truth.
You already have the wording. The job is getting that wording out of the inbox and into the feed.
When to use an FAQ post
- You have answered this more than twice
- The answer would help people who will never become a client
- You can be honest without a twelve-page caveat
- You want a post that reduces sales friction
Use something else when
- The question is really a false belief - that is a myth-bust
- The answer is one move - that is a quick tip
- The honest answer is a bit messy - that can be a confession
- You have a list of questions - make a series, or a listicle
The trends
Four angles inside this type
The braces are where your role, industry and specifics go. Trends move with the feed - this list is what is landing now, not a permanent set.
In every format
The same idea, four ways
One question - as a text post, a short carousel, a talking-head clip, or a card of the short answer.
Previews are placeholders - live drafts are built from your own material and brand kit.
What good looks like
The anatomy of an FAQ post that actually answers it
Use their wording
The question as they ask it, not as you wish they would. That is how they recognise themselves.
Answer it, then the real worry underneath
“How much is it” is often “will this work for someone like me.” Both can fit.
Be willing to say no
Why we do not do X is a better post than a dodge. People trust a boundary.
Do not turn it into a pitch in paragraph two
The post is the answer. The invite can wait until the last line.
Where it comes from
The thread you already keep pasting
FAQ posts are sitting in your sent folder, your FAQs page, and the third time this week you answered the same thing on a call.
CLIENT CALL
The objection that always shows up around minute twenty
VOICE NOTE
You answering it out loud so you never have to type it again
A LINK
An email or review that asked it, turned into a public answer
ONE TYPED LINE
The question - it writes the answer from what you always say
