Captions are short pieces of text that accompany an image or video, adding context or conveying a message. Whether it's a social media post, an advertisement or an article, captions play a crucial role in engaging with the audience and increasing their understanding of the content.

Copywriting, editorial content, headline, tagline and slogan all involve crafting a message that appeals to the reader. Captions can help you accomplish this by providing essential information about your brand or product. They also provide an excellent opportunity for improving your search engine optimization (SEO) by including relevant keywords within them.

1. What makes a good caption?

A good caption is one that grabs the reader's attention and effectively delivers your message. Keep it short and sweet (around 2-4 lines). Make sure it is in line with your brand voice and conveys your personality. Spice it up with humor or emotion to make it more memorable.

2. How should I format my captions?

Use bullet points (UL/OL) to separate ideas and make them easy to read. Bold headers for separate sections can help break up long captions while using the same font throughout keeps the reader focused on the message.

4. Should I use hashtags in my caption?

Hashtags help to put your content into various categories so users interested in those categories can find it more easily on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook or Instagram - so yes!

5. How do I use captions for SEO purposes?

6. What makes captions bursty and human-like?

Using emoji’s and conversational language can feel just like talking directly to users! Don't be afraid to get conversational - if you're looking for inspiration check out how big brands adjust their language according to different platforms (snapchat/instagram)!
