Pixipie is an AI marketing platform for small businesses that helps you plan, create, automate, and publish social content—and reply to Google reviews—from one dashboard.

A 14-day Kick Starter setup is how an Indian small business starts AI marketing without a team: connect the accounts you actually use, load true facts, watermark, plan one week, and reply to Google reviews. Pixipie is an AI marketing platform for small businesses that helps you plan, create, automate, and publish social content—and reply to Google reviews—from one dashboard. This post is a day-by-day checklist, not a second PixiCoins explainer—that lives in [what PixiCoins are](/resources/what-are-pixicoins).

Sign up at [app.pixipie.com/signup](https://app.pixipie.com/signup). No credit card. Trial allotment on the public [pricing](/pricing) page: 1 business profile, 2 social accounts, 100 PixiCoins, 14 days.

## Before day 1: facts on a single note

Write these somewhere you will not lose them. AI will invent them if you leave gaps.

- Legal or trading name, city, area (example: Gota, Ahmedabad)
- Services and current INR prices
- Hours, including the next festival
- How you actually take bookings (call, WhatsApp, walk-in, site)
- Logo file you print today
- Which two social accounts you will monitor (trial cap is two)

Pixipie is not a photo-sharing app, music visualizer, or fashion brand. You are setting up a marketing dashboard.

## Days 1–2: account and profile

Create the business profile. If you have a website, use onboarding scrape as a start, then **edit**. Delete services you no longer sell. Add geographic focus and a short audience line (who walks in, not “everyone”).

Connect only what you will answer:

- Facebook Page and/or Instagram professional via Meta
- LinkedIn profile or Company Page
- Google Business Profile for [review replies](/features/google-review-replies)

OAuth details: [Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn integrations](/resources/pixipie-facebook-instagram-linkedin-integrations). You are the publisher of record. Pixipie does not scrape passwords.

If you need a third network, wait for Solo (5 social accounts). Do not connect a page nobody checks.

## Days 3–4: watermark and library

Upload the logo to the [media library](/features/media-library). Generate or refine a mark via [brand watermarks](/features/brand-watermarks). If you want a no-login preview first, use the [brand watermark maker](/tools/brand-watermark-maker). Keep one current file. Apply it on the next creatives so templates look owned—see [brand watermark for Instagram and Facebook](/blog/brand-watermark-for-instagram-and-facebook-posts).

Spend coins only on generation you will keep. Looking at the calendar is free of coin spend in the usual workflow.

## Days 5–7: first honest week on the planner

Follow the [weekly social media planner](/blog/weekly-social-media-planner-for-indian-smbs):

1. Three to five slots, not ten.
2. Mix: education, proof, local or festive, optional offer if true.
3. Brief each slot with service + city ([local SEO captions](/blog/local-seo-captions-for-small-business-social-media)).
4. Draft in the [AI Post Creator](/features/ai-post-creator). Edit. Never publish the first pass.
5. Place approved posts on the [Content Planner](/features/content-planner).
6. Run the [publish checklist](/blog/ai-social-post-review-checklist-before-publish) before each goes live.

Hashtags last, via the [hashtag generator](/tools/ai-hashtag-generator). Festive angles: [festive post ideas](/tools/festive-post-ideas) and, if Deepavali is close, the [Diwali campaign post](/blog/diwali-social-media-campaign-for-indian-smbs-2026).

## Days 8–10: Google reviews and comments

Open the review queue. Use [Google review reply scripts](/blog/google-review-reply-scripts-for-local-businesses). Thank, fix, or escalate—do not paste one paragraph on every star. Same week, answer Facebook and Instagram comments on the posts you scheduled. A planner that outruns replies is spam with extra steps.

Clinics and restaurants can steal structure from [dental clinic social](/blog/social-media-for-dental-clinics-in-india) and [restaurant social in India](/blog/restaurant-social-media-in-india) without copying prices.

## Days 11–12: LinkedIn only if it is a real channel

If you connected LinkedIn, post one educational note—not the Instagram offer graphic. [LinkedIn for Indian small businesses](/blog/linkedin-marketing-for-indian-small-businesses) covers profile vs Company Page. If you will not check LinkedIn, disconnect it and keep the two-account limit for Meta.

## Days 13–14: decide with evidence, not vibes

Ask only:

- Did scheduled posts publish with the right price?
- Are reviews unanswered?
- Did anyone mention a post in a call or WhatsApp?
- Did you stay inside 100 coins, or burn them on throwaway generations?

If the loop worked, Solo ₹499/mo adds more profiles, social accounts, 500 coins, and [AI Campaigns](/features/ai-campaigns) for a [14-day run without spam](/blog/14-day-social-media-campaign-without-spam). Pro and Studio exist for larger limits ([pricing](/pricing)). If the loop failed because no one approved drafts, do not buy a higher plan—fix the owner checklist first.

## What to ignore during the trial

Do not spend the fortnight comparing every scheduler, building a second logo, or generating twenty captions you will not schedule. Do not connect a personal Facebook profile if you only have a Page. Do not turn on review automation until you have approved five replies by hand. Do not start a festive campaign on day two if hours are still undecided.

Ignore reach promises. Pixipie does not guarantee impressions. The trial succeeds if scheduled posts were true, reviews were answered, and you know who taps approve.

## If you get stuck

Wrong Page connected: disconnect and reconnect the business Page you actually run—see the [integrations guide](/resources/pixipie-facebook-instagram-linkedin-integrations). Coins gone on throwaway images: stop generating, edit existing drafts, read [PixiCoins](/resources/what-are-pixicoins). Nobody has time: cut to three slots and keep Google replies. That is still a complete loop.

Kick Starter is not a tiny agency. It is two weeks to prove you can tell the truth on a calendar. [Create the account](https://app.pixipie.com/signup), load Ahmedabad-or-wherever facts, and publish only what you would say at the door.
