Good work deserves good words.
You run the shop. I write the words that bring people in — social posts, Google review replies, and promo flyers, done for you and ready to post. Built for shops, restaurants, and trades in Leavenworth, Kansas.
What you get back
One pack to start. Singles when you just need one thing.
Flat prices, no hourly billing, no long contracts. You approve everything before it ever gets posted.
The Starter Pack
Everything a busy shop needs for the next two weeks of posting — in one delivery.
- 10 social captions — written for your business, your specials, your voice. Facebook & Instagram ready.
- 5 Google review replies — warm replies to your good reviews, calm and professional replies to the tough ones.
- 1 promo flyer / post — full text for one promotion: headline, offer, dates, and call to action. Print it or post it.
- One round of tweaks included — tell me what to adjust and I’ll fix it.
The flyer and review replies alone cost $55 as singles — the 10 captions only come in this pack.
Need something else written — a menu blurb, a website paragraph, a “we’re hiring” sign for the window? Ask in the intake form in Step 2 below and you’ll get a flat quote before any work starts.
Made for the businesses Leavenworth runs on
If customers find you on Google or Facebook, this is for you.
🍽️ Restaurants, diners & food trucks
Daily-special captions, replies to food reviews, and flyers for events and catering — without you staring at a blank post box after a long shift.
🛍️ Shops & salons
New-arrival posts, sale announcements, and booking reminders that sound like you — friendly, local, and worth sharing.
🔧 Trades & contractors
Before/after captions, review replies that build trust, and hiring posts when you need another set of hands. Already listing jobs on BidRivet? This is the words side of the same work.
How it works

Within about 48 hours you get everything in one message, labeled and ready: copy, paste, post. One round of tweaks is included.
Free samples — the real style of the work
These were written for two fictional Leavenworth businesses to show exactly what a delivery looks like. Yours will be written for your shop, your menu, your reviews.

- Weekend special: “Biscuits & gravy until we run out — and we always run out. Doors at 7 on Delaware St. Come hungry. 🍳”

Short, scannable, and written to be read from a shop window or a phone screen.
Samples use fictional businesses and invented reviews so no real shop’s words are on display. Your delivery uses your real specials, your real reviews, and your voice.
Order in two steps
Step 1 — pick your package and pay. Step 2 — complete the short intake form. Work starts when payment and the completed form are both received, with about a 48-hour turnaround from there.

Harrison’s launch toolkit
Everything below is copy-and-go from your phone: the pitch, the DMs, the follow-up, how to pick targets, and how to deliver. Open a section, copy, send.
Your first 3 actions — in order
- Pick your 10 targets (15 minutes). Use the “Find 10 businesses” method below. Screenshot each shop’s Google listing so you have their name, rating, and review count.
- Walk in to the best 3 first. Go at a slow time (2–4 PM for restaurants, mid-morning for shops). Use the 60-second script below and leave the Starter Pack price in writing — a screenshot of this page’s pricing section works.
- DM the other 7 the same day. Send the Facebook/Instagram DM version below while the walk-ins are fresh. Anyone who replies gets the samples link — this page — and the $75 offer, same day.
60-second walk-in script (not pushy)
If they’re busy: “Totally get it — can I leave this and check back Thursday?” If they say “send me info”: show them this page on your phone and copy the DM version to them right there.
DM version — Facebook / Instagram
That last line — one free caption in their voice — is the hook. It costs you five minutes and proves the work better than any pitch.
Follow-up template (3 days later, once only)
One follow-up, then stop. Mark them “followed up” in your tracker and move on — Leavenworth is small and you’ll see them again.
Find 10 businesses in 15 minutes (Google Maps, phone only)
- Open Google Maps, search “restaurants near Leavenworth KS.” Note any with a rating under 4.6 or fewer than ~150 reviews — they feel reviews the most, so replies matter to them.
- Search “barber / salon / boutique / auto repair / plumber near me.” Pick 2 per type so your first 10 aren’t all one kind of shop.
- For each one, note 4 things: business name, last Facebook/Instagram post date (stale = perfect target), whether recent Google reviews have no owner reply (your strongest opening), and one real detail you can compliment (a special, a photo, a review quote).
- Skip: chains and franchises (they can’t say yes locally), and any shop with polished, frequent posts already (they have help).
- Rank by pain, not size: unanswered reviews + a month-old last post = visit first.
BidRivet crossover: any contractor already taking jobs through BidRivet gets pitched the trades angle — before/after captions and review replies that make their bids win more often. Same $75 pack, warmer door.
Tracking sheet — copy this structure into Notes or Sheets
One row per business. Update it the same day you talk to them — your memory is not the system.
Columns to keep (one row per business):
- Business + Type (diner, barber, plumber…)
- Last post date — stale means they need you
- Reviews unanswered? — how many, and your opening line
- Contacted — date + how (walk-in / DM / post)
- Reply — what they actually said, in their words
- Status + Paid / Delivered — dates, so nothing slips
Example row: Sunrise Diner · Diner · Last post Oct 2 · 4 reviews unanswered · Contacted Nov 14, walk-in · Reply: “Send info” · Status: Sent samples · Paid/Delivered: —
Statuses to use: To contact → Contacted → Sent samples → Followed up → Sold → Delivered → Repeat? A “no” still gets a polite thank-you — small town, long memory.
Getting paid — how orders pay (separate from Counter)
Keep Local Biz Help money fully separate from Counter’s Substack Stripe. Customers pay through the Stripe links on the pricing cards and in the order section on this page, then complete the intake form. Work starts when payment and the completed form are both received. Send this confirmation text after a payment comes in:
Singles use the same format — swap the item line and total ($25 flyer / $30 review pack / $40 hiring post). Screenshot the paid confirmation and save it with the delivery.
Delivery checklist — every order, same way
- Re-read their pages first. Pull their real specials, hours, and the exact reviews you’re replying to. Never reply to a review you haven’t read in full.
- Write captions in their voice. Short, local, specific. One clear point per caption. Emojis sparingly — one, maybe two.
- Review replies: thank by name when the review gives one, answer the actual complaint, never argue, end with an invitation back.
- Flyer text: headline → offer → dates → address/hours → call to action. If a stranger can’t get it in 5 seconds, rewrite it.
- Label everything in one message: “CAPTIONS 1–10”, “REVIEW REPLIES 1–5”, “FLYER TEXT”. They should copy-paste without asking you anything.
- Send, then ask for the tweak + the testimonial. “Anything you want changed? And if you’re happy, can I quote you?” Update the tracker the same day.
Copy-paste local posts (Nextdoor & Facebook group)
Nextdoor:
Facebook local group (check the group’s promo rules first — some only allow ads on certain days):
Questions owners ask
Do you post it for me, or do I post it?
You post it — I deliver everything labeled and ready to copy-paste. That means you never hand over a password, and you approve every word before it’s public. Most owners schedule the captions in about ten minutes.
How fast will I get it?
About 48 hours after payment and your completed intake form are both received, for the Starter Pack and singles. If you need a flyer for this weekend, say so in the intake form — rush is usually possible.
What if I don’t like the captions?
Every order includes one round of tweaks. Tell me what’s off — too formal, not your style, wrong special — and I’ll revise. The samples on this page show the style before you spend anything.
Can you reply to a bad review without making it worse?
Yes — that’s half the value. Replies stay calm, take the specific complaint seriously, never argue in public, and invite the customer back. Future customers read the reply more than the review.
Is there a contract or monthly commitment?
No. The Starter Pack is one flat $75 order. Plenty of shops reorder monthly because the posts run out — but that’s your call each time, never automatic.
How do I pay?
Two steps. Step 1: pick your package on this page and pay with its Stripe link — Starter Pack $75, Flyer $25, Review-Reply Pack $30, or Hiring Post $40. Step 2: complete the short intake form. Work starts when payment and the completed form are both received, and you’ll get a payment confirmation for your records.
