Step 1 Caption Quality
Check every caption element before posting
Strong hook in line 1 Critical
First line creates tension, curiosity, or a bold opinion. Does
NOT start with "We", "I am pleased to", or a generic statement.
Line breaks used throughout Critical
Every 1–2 lines has a blank line break. No paragraph walls. Easy
to scan on mobile.
Specific insight or problem
The post teaches something concrete, not a general truth everyone
already knows.
Slide tease included (if carousel) Tip
Caption mentions a specific slide: "Slide 3 is the one to save."
Forces document swipes.
Ends with ONE direct question Critical
Not "Let us know your thoughts." A specific, answerable question
like "Which of these have you faced in your last PCB design?"
No self-promo sentence at the end
Remove lines like "At Zenion Technologies, we focus on reliable
embedded solutions." It kills momentum right before the CTA.
Caption under 1,300 characters
Engagement drops sharply after this limit. Count if you're
unsure.
No external link in caption Watch
out
Put the link in the first comment instead, right after
publishing.
Step 2 Hashtag Check
Exactly 5 hashtags always
Exactly 5 hashtags Critical
Not 4, not 6, not 15. Exactly 5.
Formula: 2 Broad + 2 Niche + 1 Brand
Always ends with #ZenionTechnologies.
No generic-only tags like #Technology #Innovation
Always pair with niche engineering tags.
Hashtags placed at end of caption
Not scattered in the middle of the caption body.
| Topic | Use These 5 Hashtags |
|---|---|
| PCB / Hardware | #PCBDesign #EmbeddedSystems #HardwareDesign #SignalIntegrity #ZenionTechnologies |
| IoT / Firmware | #IoT #EmbeddedSystems #FirmwareDevelopment #EdgeAI #ZenionTechnologies |
| Battery / BMS | #BatteryManagementSystem #EmbeddedSystems #EV #PowerElectronics #ZenionTechnologies |
Step 3 Document / Carousel Check
Only for document/carousel posts skip if text-only
Slide 1 cover has a HOOK headline Critical
Provocative statement or bold problem claim. Max 8 words.
Every slide has at least 1 visual
No text-only slides.
Max 40 words per slide
If a slide has more text, split it into two slides.
Slide count is 6–10
Sweet spot is 7–9 slides.
Mistakes/Red Flags slide included Tip
Most saved and shared slide type.
Last slide has a clear CTA Critical
Follow Zenion + DM or website. Not just a logo.
Zenion logo on every slide
Bottom corner, small, consistent.
Uploaded as PDF and title HOOK or CTA
LinkedIn renders PDF carousels best.

Step 5 Team Alert
Alert the team 5 minutes before publishing

your post wider. Team engagement here is non-negotiable.

Step 7 Common Mistakes Avoided?
Verify none of these apply
Caption does NOT start with “We are excited to share...”
Rewrite corporate intros into bold hooks.
Caption is NOT a table of contents
Lead with stakes, not “In this post, we covered...”
Cover slide is NOT just an informational title
It should be a hook, not a chapter heading.
Hashtag count is NOT 10+
Stay at exactly 5.
Post does NOT end with multiple questions
Ask one specific question only.
Step 8 30-Second Self-Review
Read it out loud and answer these
Would I stop scrolling for this first line?
If not, rewrite the first line.
Does it make the reader feel something?
Curiosity, recognition, or urgency.
Is there a clear reason to comment?
A question, CTA, or clear prompt.
Is the cover slide a hook or a title?
Change chapter headings into bold problem statements.
Have I notified the team yet?
No team alert = no early engagement.
