Engaging with comments builds trust, shows attentiveness, and encourages potential clients to take the next step. Facebook also rewards ads with high engagement, so productive conversations can help your ad perform better.
Respond Promptly: Aim to reply within 24 hours to keep the conversation active.
Encourage Action: Direct commenters to click through the ad to "Learn More" for detailed information. This keeps the ad performing well and ensures they’re taking the intended next step.
Avoid Sharing Phone Numbers in Comments: If users bypass the ad by calling directly, Facebook might see the ad as less effective. Encourage users to use the ad link to engage fully.
Handle Tough Questions Productively: Thoughtful responses to critical or skeptical comments show professionalism and confidence in your services.
Sharing phone numbers in comments may seem helpful, but it can bypass the ad’s call-to-action. Facebook tracks ad engagement, and if users skip clicking the link, the ad may perform poorly. Instead, encourage them to follow the ad link to ensure they get the full experience and next steps.
Responding to tough or skeptical comments in a positive, productive way demonstrates confidence in your care and builds trust with other potential clients reading the comments.
Every response should:
Be personalized by addressing the commenter by name.
Highlight your eagerness to help.
Encourage them to take the next steps.
It's important to maintain a positive and respectful online presence. If you encounter rude or inappropriate comments, it’s okay to block or hide them to keep the conversation professional and productive
How to block or hide comments on Facebook:
On a computer:
Go to your Facebook page and find the comment you want to block or hide.
Click the three dots (...) next to the comment.

Why it’s important:
Hiding or blocking comments helps maintain a professional environment and ensures your ad’s engagement stays positive. We want to focus on encouraging potential clients to reach out and learn more about how you can help them!
If you’re unsure whether a comment should be hidden or blocked, remember that constructive criticism should always be welcome. This is an opportunity to show your knowledge, care, and willingness to help. Addressing concerns thoughtfully can demonstrate your expertise and build trust with potential clients. However, offensive or harmful content should not be engaged with or responded to.
