FAQ

Questions about
Weekly Authority.

Everything you need to know about how the system works, what you receive, and how to get started.

How does the process start?
Complete the intake form at app.weeklyauthority.co.nz/intake. It asks about your business, services, location, and expertise. Once submitted, the system generates sample posts in your voice at no cost. You review the samples, and if you're happy, proceed to payment for the full build.
Do I need to pay before seeing any content?
No. Sample posts are generated and shown to you before any payment is required. The sample posts are real posts written in your voice — not placeholders. Payment only happens when you decide to proceed with the full 26 or 52-week build.
How long does it take to receive my content?
After payment, the full build typically completes within a few hours. You receive an email with your Publer CSV and setup guide when it's ready. For larger custom builds, this may take slightly longer.
Which countries are supported?
Weekly Authority currently supports New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom, United States, and Canada. Content is jurisdiction-aware — regulations, licensing references, and industry terminology are matched to your country and sector.
What makes the posts different from generic AI content?
Three things. First, practitioner voice — posts are written in first person as if authored by the business owner, using the specific terminology and depth of someone who actually does this work. Second, jurisdiction awareness — content references the right regulations and context for your country and industry. Third, service lock — every topic maps to a service you actually declared, so no adjacent or inferred topics appear.
How many topics are generated for my business?
Between 8 and 12 topics, depending on your declared services. Topics cycle through your schedule — no topic appears in back-to-back posts. Post types rotate between practical education (around 50%), process explanations (25%), and FAQ-style content (25%).
Can I edit the posts after receiving them?
Yes. The CSV is yours to edit in any spreadsheet tool before uploading to Publer. You can adjust wording, add specific client references, or include local events — the content is a foundation you own completely.
Are posts optimised for Google Business Profile?
Yes. Posts are kept to 600–900 characters — the optimal length for Google Business Profile. The CSV includes both Google Business Profile and Facebook as target channels. Posts are scheduled to publish weekly across both.
How are the images generated?
Images are created using Flux 2 Pro, a professional AI image generation model. Each image is driven by your industry visual profile, the topic type, your brand colour palette (injected as ambient lighting and surface tones), and your chosen visual style. One image is generated per topic and reused across all posts on that topic.
Can I replace images I don't like?
Yes. After delivery you receive a 14-day content review link. Use it to view every generated topic image and request replacements for any that don't feel right. When you approve changes, the image URLs in your content pack are updated — re-download the latest CSV from the review flow (or your delivery email) before uploading to your scheduler. If you use an old CSV, it will still point at the previous images.
What image styles are available?
Multiple visual styles are available during intake: Smart, Photographic, Illustration, Creative, 3D Render, Flat Design, and Minimalist. Each style has a full visual brief covering lighting, colour treatment, composition, and finish.
What is Publer and do I need it?
Publer is a social media scheduling tool that supports Google Business Profile and Facebook. It has a free tier that covers the channels Weekly Authority posts to. The CSV format is designed specifically for Publer — upload it once and your posts schedule automatically for the full duration of your plan. Publer is what we recommend for the simplest path from CSV to live posts.
What other scheduling tools can I use?
The Weekly Authority CSV is built for Publer first, but you can also use any tool that fits your workflow. Other options people use include:
  • Publer — recommended for ease of use with our CSV and Google Business Profile + Facebook
  • Buffer — simple and beginner-friendly (check that your plan includes the channels you need)
  • Metricool — strong free option for planning and publishing

You may need to map columns or copy posts manually if a tool does not accept our CSV as-is. The setup guide focuses on the Publer workflow.

Can I publish manually instead of using Publer?
Yes. The CSV contains all the post content, dates, and image URLs. You can use any scheduling tool that accepts CSV uploads, or copy posts manually. The setup guide covers the Publer workflow, but the content works with any publishing method.
Which platforms does Weekly Authority post to?
The standard schedule targets Google Business Profile and Facebook. Google Business Profile is the primary authority signal for local AI recommendations. Facebook provides additional consistency signals and social proof. You can also connect LinkedIn in Publer if you want the same content published there.
Is this a one-off cost or a monthly fee?
It’s a one-off cost. You make a single payment for the full 26- or 52-week content package. There is no monthly charge from Weekly Authority. Once generated, the content belongs to you permanently.
What are the prices?
The 6-month plan (26 posts) is NZD $275. The 12-month plan (52 posts) is NZD $499. Custom builds with different post counts or frequencies are available — contact us to discuss. All prices are ex-GST.
What payment methods are accepted?
Payment is processed via Stripe, which accepts all major credit and debit cards. Payment is taken at the point of proceeding after reviewing your sample posts. The build commences automatically on payment confirmation.
