I came up with a meme promp that has spit out a couple good posts for me so far so I thought I'd share.
I just use chat gpt for this.
Here's the prompt and a few example posts I posted on instagram for my google reviews business.

##Meme Post Prompt
Use this to generate high-performing, sarcastic, meme-style posts for any niche or topic.
##Prompt:
I want to create a blunt, meme-style Instagram post that uses a strong visual hook and sarcastic tone to expose a painful truth, dumb behavior, or outdated strategy in the [INSERT NICHE OR TOPIC] space.
It should follow the same format and vibe as the example below — image and caption both must feel native to memes, punchy, and brutally honest.
Avoid fluff, cutesy branding, or “educational” vibes. This is meme-first, insight-second.
##Use this reference post as your guide:

Top Text:
“Local Business Strategy: 1. Be amazing. 2. Pray people find you.”
Caption:
"Best-kept secret in town!"
Translation:
You're invisible online but really nice in person. Congrats?
Look, being good at what you do is step one. But if nobody finds you, none of it matters. Meanwhile your competitor-yeah, the one you hate-is stacking reviews and stealing customers you should've had.
Fix it.
Start with your reviews. Then your Google profile. Then your site.
Or don't. And keep hoping people randomly stumble across your number like it's 1997.
📲 Want the actual playbook? It's in my bio.
(You're welcome.)
##Now create a brand new post in this format:
- Meme-style image concept (describe the layout, what’s shown, and text).
- A blunt caption (start with a strong hook, no soft intros, no fluff).
- My audience is [INSERT NICHE OR TOPIC].
- Humor must land without needing context
- Feel free to end with a short CTA like “link in bio” or “comment XXX for more info”
- Provide a matching set of 5–10 viral hashtags for reach.
