Social media policy generator
Generate a basic social media policy for your company or team from a quick questionnaire.
about the social media policy generator
Every company whose employees touch social media needs a written policy — not to police people, but to answer the questions that otherwise become incidents: Can I mention where I work in my bio? Can I respond to a customer complaint I see? What happens if I post something the company disagrees with? Without written answers, employees either go silent (losing you free advocacy) or improvise (creating real legal and reputational risk).
A workable policy covers a handful of core sections: who speaks officially for the company and who doesn't, disclosure rules when employees discuss the employer or its products (the FTC requires employees to disclose their affiliation when endorsing their company's products), confidentiality boundaries, respectful-conduct expectations, crisis protocol (who responds when something blows up — and that everyone else doesn't), and account ownership for work-created handles. Keep it to 1-2 pages; a policy nobody reads protects nobody.
Answer the short questionnaire — company size, industry, how active employees are on social, official account ownership — and the generator drafts a policy you can adapt with counsel and circulate. On the official-accounts side, pairing the policy with PostAI's scheduled, centrally-managed posting gives you an approval layer that makes compliance the default rather than a memo.
frequently asked questions
What should a social media policy include?
Six core sections: who is authorized to speak for the company, disclosure requirements when employees mention the employer or its products, confidentiality rules, conduct expectations, a crisis-response protocol naming who responds to incidents, and ownership terms for work-related accounts. Keep the whole document to 1-2 readable pages.
Why does my company need a social media policy?
Because ambiguity creates risk in both directions: employees stay silent when they could be advocates, or post in ways that create legal exposure — leaked confidential information, undisclosed endorsements (an FTC requirement in the US), or statements read as official company positions. A written policy prevents incidents and protects both sides.
Can a company control what employees post on personal accounts?
Only partially. In the US, the National Labor Relations Act protects employees' rights to discuss working conditions, so blanket bans are unenforceable. Policies can legitimately require confidentiality of trade secrets, disclosure of affiliation when endorsing the employer's products, and clarity that personal views aren't official company statements. Have counsel review before enforcing.
