Every feature, in detail.
The full feature list. What it does, why we built it, and what changes for your business when you turn it on.
Before/After composites
The before/after format is the single highest-converting visual in local service marketing. We assemble them automatically: consistent cropping, your logo overlay, brand-color borders. Side-by-side or stacked. Square for Instagram, landscape for Facebook, portrait for GBP — one upload, three perfect crops.
The technician just snaps two photos. The composite, the watermark, the platform-specific sizing — that’s all on us.
AI captions with brand voice training
Drop in a handful of captions you’ve already written and Hosted Proof learns your tone — the warm, the punchy, the no-nonsense voice that already works for your business. Every draft after that sounds like you wrote it.
Different tone for different platforms, too: GBP captions read like a local-pack snippet, Facebook gets a friendly community voice, Instagram gets the short-and-punchy hook with hashtags tuned to your vertical.
Multi-platform publishing
One approval. Three platforms. The right size, the right caption, the right hashtags for each. Hosted Proof publishes directly to:
- Google Business Profile — local posts on your verified locations, with photos that show up in the local pack and in Maps results.
- Facebook Pages — business page posts with proper Open Graph metadata and tags.
- Instagram Business — square-cropped before/afters with hashtag suggestions tuned to your vertical.
No more copy-pasting captions between three apps. No more “wait, did we post to GBP this week?” The platforms you connect get posted to; everything else doesn’t.
Scheduling
Queue a week of posts in 20 minutes. Pick send windows per platform — GBP gets the morning hits when people are searching for local services, Instagram gets the evening browsers, Facebook gets the lunch-break scroll. Each post fires automatically; you can swap or delete anything in the queue.
Approval queue
Techs upload. AI drafts. The owner approves. Nothing ships to a customer-facing platform without eyes on it — but the eyes-on takes 5 seconds, not 5 minutes. Approve, schedule, or send back for an edit with one tap.
The approval queue is also where you catch the photos that shouldn’t go out — the one with the customer’s license plate visible, the one with the address on a piece of mail, the one with the tech making a face. The friction is built in by design.
Mobile-first tech upload via PIN
Every tech gets a unique upload PIN. They open the mobile page (no app to install), enter the PIN, snap their before and after, hit submit. The photo lands in your approval queue tagged with which tech took it.
No login. No app store. No tech onboarding meeting. If they can open Safari or Chrome, they can upload to Hosted Proof. The whole flow takes about 15 seconds.
Cloudinary photo pipeline
Photos go through Cloudinary — the same image pipeline that powers Instagram-quality crops, format conversion, and CDN-delivered fast loads. Your originals stay safe in your account; the published versions are perfectly sized and compressed for each platform.
You don’t have to think about file size, format, or compression. The pipeline handles it.
Brand voice training
Paste in 5–10 of your past captions during onboarding and Hosted Proof picks up your voice. Every draft after that gets generated with that tone as the baseline. If your business sounds warm and family-run, the captions sound warm and family-run. If it sounds direct and technical, that’s what comes out.
