Where Quetzal is different

The week arrives planned and written

Quetzal reads your website and brand kit, plans the week and writes every post in your voice. You open a finished week instead of an empty calendar.

Designed posts and carousels in your brand

Quetzal designs posts, carousels and stories in your colours and type, so every account looks like one brand. Designed images come on every plan, and posts from your own photos are unlimited.

Next week is planned from last week's results

Every post is measured, and what worked on your own accounts shapes what comes next. No report to read.

LinkedIn written to its own rules

LinkedIn posts follow a dedicated engine: one point for one reader, a hook from a fixed set of proven mechanisms, a single clear ask at the end and no hashtags. Your other networks get their own version of each idea.

What it costs at your size
