Instagram Reels templates (trades)

Reels work when they look real. These templates give you a simple rotation you can repeat every week.

1) Tone rules

  • Calm
  • Short
  • Specific
  • Proof-based

2) Five templates (copy/paste)

  • Proof: “Before/after from today in Edmond. If your [problem] looks like this, call/text.”
  • Tip: “Quick tip: if you see [sign], do [safe step]. If it keeps happening, call a pro.”
  • Process: “What happens when you call us: 1) questions 2) schedule 3) options 4) done.”
  • FAQ: “Common question: [question]. Short answer: [answer].”
  • Offer: “Scheduling [service] next week in Edmond. Call/text for availability.”

3) Shot list

  • Before clip
  • During clip (1 quick shot)
  • After clip
  • Close-up of clean result

4) Caption hooks

  • “If your [thing] looks like this…”
  • “Quick tip for homeowners…”
  • “This is what we fixed today…”

5) Posting cadence

Start with 1 Reel per week. If you can do 2, great. Consistency matters more than volume.
