Consistency is not making every post sound identical; it is making every post sound like it came from the same business.
The idea
A useful voice guide describes how the brand behaves, not just which adjectives appear in a style sheet. Choose a few voice traits and show real examples of what to say, what to avoid and how to handle uncertainty. Include rules for humor, customer complaints, accessibility and calls to action. Update the guide when the business changes its audience or service, not only when the logo changes.
Put it into practice
- Pick three voice traits and define each with a practical example.
- Write before-and-after examples for a promotion, an FAQ and a complaint.
- Ask the team to use the guide on real drafts and resolve unclear cases.
What this looks like
A neighborhood repair shop could choose 'plainspoken, dependable and respectful' and replace technical jargon with a short explanation customers can act on.
What to measure
Review a sample of posts monthly for consistency, clarity and customer understanding rather than checking for identical phrasing.
