...plus the exact software we use to make every one of those posts in under a minute.
Hey, my name is Ben Adkins, and I’m the CEO of a 7-figure digital marketing agency. But... I didn’t start out doing this. I started out as a young chiropractor who owned a clinic, had a mounting set of bills to pay, and didn’t have the money for traditional marketing... so I turned to social media.
And back in my chiropractic days, I tested a lot of content on Facebook. And I mean a lot. Promos, specials, tips, videos, contests... if it could go in a post, I tried it to get more people through the door.
Most of it didn’t work. Some of it did. And some of it worked for a few months, then stopped cold the day Facebook changed something.
But there was one posting style I could always count on. Year after year, it kept working. And it started with the same two words every single time.
The two words?
“Thank You.”
A thank you post. Not to everybody at once. To one single person or one single business, tagged by name, with a few short paragraphs about something specific they did.
Everything below is how it works, why it spreads, and how we turned it into a service local businesses pay us for every month.
Over time, I started bundling the Thank You post into the social media content we ran for our agency clients. One or two a week, each one thanking a strategic partner in their town.
It worked for them too. Restaurants, dentists, gyms, law firms... it didn’t matter. The thank you posts pulled more likes, more comments, and more shares than anything else we posted for them.
So it became its own service. We call it a Thank You Engine, and local businesses pay us $300 to $500 a month to run it.
The post itself is simple. Here’s the whole recipe:
Never a group. The best picks already serve the customers you want: the accountant, the restaurant down the street, the chiropractor everybody loves.
Those two words go first. The tag is what puts the post in front of them.
One specific thing they did, and why it mattered. Specific is what makes it a thank you instead of an ad.
Not on their review page. Putting it on your wall tells everybody you know that you believe in them.
You hit post. Then the humans take over.
It works on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X... every platform we’ve tried. That’s how I know I was never hacking the Facebook algorithm. I was hacking the human algorithm...
Here’s what we learned running these for years. A thank you post with just text does great locally. People like it, they comment, and the business shares it.
Add a fun image and it takes off. Put the owner on the cover of a magazine, a trading card, or the front page of the newspaper. Now it’s a piece of content the business is proud of, and they didn’t have to make it... so they share it everywhere.
And because the image carries your logo right next to their name, everybody who loves that business sees your brand sitting beside theirs. It’s the same thing a good Chamber of Commerce does for its members. Everybody wins.
One photo, six ways to make somebody a Local Legend. (Dana is a demo we built, so don’t go looking for her in Jonesboro :)
Here’s the catch. Even with Canva templates, every single thank you post took me 20 to 40 minutes. Here’s where the time went:
Now multiply that by every client, every week. That’s how the one strategy that always works turns into the thing that never gets done.
SeekThanks turns a photo of anyone into a magazine cover, trading card, newspaper front page, Wanted poster, movie poster or yearbook page, with your client’s logo and colours already on it. Square and story, ready to post or send to Buffer. What took 20 to 40 minutes now takes under a minute.
Watch a thank you post go from a photo on somebody’s page to a finished, branded graphic in under a minute.

SeekThanks is a Chrome extension. It lives in your browser, it knows every client’s brand, and it turns a photo into a finished post in under a minute.
Trading card, magazine cover, Wanted poster, newspaper front page, movie poster and yearbook page. These are the formats people already connect with somebody who matters, so the person you thank feels like a big deal (and wants everybody to see it).
Every template fills in your client’s logo and colours for you. Text sizes itself to fit and stays readable over any photo, so every graphic looks like a designer made it.
Right-click a photo on Facebook, Instagram or any website and send it straight into SeekThanks. You can also upload, drag in or paste one.
The owner’s photo is usually sitting right there on their own page, so you never have to chase anybody for a headshot. Move and zoom to frame them, fade the background, and you’re done.
Save a profile for every business you work with: logo (a dark and a light version), colours and details. The Agency license holds unlimited businesses.
Switch clients in one click, or search them with ⌘K. Save each client’s graphics and reopen them later. Ten clients feel like one, and nothing ever goes out with the wrong logo on it.
Every design comes out as a square post (1080 × 1080) and a story (1080 × 1920). Download both, copy the image to your clipboard, or send it to Buffer.
Buffer posts to Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Threads and Google Business Profile. That means you can schedule a client’s next few months of thank you posts in one sitting.
What used to take 20 to 40 minutes in Canva takes under a minute. Designer fonts are built in, and SeekThanks picks the logo version (dark or light) that stands out on its own.
No layers, no nudging text boxes, no starting over when somebody’s name is too long. The image stops being the reason the post never goes out.
Make your own branded copy of SeekThanks: your product name, your logo, your colours. Download it and hand it to a client, or sell it as your own tool.
Each rebrand holds one business and needs no license key. Now you’re not just selling the service. You’re selling software with your name on it.

If SeekThanks doesn’t earn its keep, I’ll give you double your money back.
Install SeekThanks, set up your clients, and run one thank you post a week for the next 60 days. If the posts don’t get shared, or the tool doesn’t save you hours, email support and we’ll send you back double what you paid. That’s $594 on Agency, or $994 on WhiteLabel.
No hoops. No hard feelings. I’ll root for you either way.
No. The templates do the design. You type a name, what they’re known for and one line about them, and SeekThanks sizes everything to fit.
Google Chrome on a Mac or PC. SeekThanks is a Chrome extension. You download it, load it into Chrome and enter the email you bought with. It takes about two minutes, and the setup guide walks you through it.
The Agency license holds unlimited businesses, each with its own logos and colours. Rebranded copies you make in the Rebrand Studio hold one business each, so each client gets their own.
No. Buffer is optional. You can download the square and story images or copy them straight to your clipboard. If you do use Buffer, SeekThanks posts to Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Threads and Google Business Profile.
No. You use a real photo of a real person, and SeekThanks lays it out in the template with the business’s brand. Nothing about the person is generated.
Ask them first. It’s a thank you, so almost everybody says yes, and asking gives you a reason to start the conversation.
Your businesses, logos and saved graphics stay in Chrome on your own computer. You can export a backup file any time and import it on a new computer. Graphics you send to Buffer get uploaded so Buffer can post them.
Agency is the tool, for running thank you posts for as many businesses as you want. WhiteLabel adds the Rebrand Studio, where you make your own branded copy of the software to hand to clients or sell as your own.
Ben’s sweet spot is $300 to $500 a month per business for one or two thank you posts a week. Your market may be different, and results vary.
You can keep posting specials and promos and hoping somebody shares them. Or you can start running the one post I’ve been able to count on since my chiropractic days... the “Thank You” post... for your own agency and for every client you have.
SeekThanks takes the part that used to eat 20 to 40 minutes and turns it into under a minute. You get all six Local Legend templates, unlimited businesses, and all three bonuses, including the Quick Start Video that gets your first campaign done in 5 minutes.
And you’re protected. Use SeekThanks for 60 days. If the posts don’t get shared, or it doesn’t save you hours every week, email support and I’ll send you back double what you paid. The risk is all on me.
There are only 97 Founder Seats. Click the button below, pick Agency or WhiteLabel, and grab your spot inside. Then next Monday morning, post your first thank you and watch what happens.
I’ll See You Inside!
P.S. Do the math on one post. You tag one business. They share it with everybody who already loves them. A few days later you send one message, and they meet you as a fan instead of a salesperson. SeekThanks makes the image in under a minute, so there’s no reason not to post one every week.
P.P.S. There are only 97 Founder Seats available. When they’re gone, they’re gone. If you want to be running Thank You Engines for your clients next Monday, grab yours now.
