How to Effectively Manage Comments on Facebook and Instagram Ads

If someone comments on your organic social media posts, do you respond? Most businesses would say, yes. So it is astounding how many business pages leave their paid posts unattended.

Leaving your paid posts unattended, can mean you miss business opportunities, brand advocacy as well as the chance to clear up and/or delete any negative feedback or spam that you are paying to be shown across social media.

Are you set up to effectively reply to comments coming through your paid ads? Once you’ve made the investment, your ad management doesn’t stop there. Make sure you diligently review your paid advertising and respond to comments to avoid driving people away from your brand (the exact opposite to what you set out to do).
