Why Managing Facebook Ad Comments Is Essential?

Facebook levels the playing field for all

You get an enormous user base of 2.9 billion active monthly users, incredibly detailed user-targeting options, and a wide variety of objectives to choose from for your ad campaign on Facebook.

26% of Facebook users who clicked on ads reported making purchases in one survey.

A prompt and insightful response to ad comments can help elevate your brand image and increase lead opportunities.

Ignoring Comments Could Be Costing You

Marketers spend a lot of money on Facebook ads to create awareness about the brand and to bring in more engagement.

All this money goes down the drain if you fail to address the comments you receive.

Sure, you can frame a canned response and respond to various comments with the same answer.

But when the volume is very high, a lot of these comments are bound to go unnoticed.

You Are Missing Opportunities On Potential Leads

If you decide to ignore these comments under your ads:

1. You lose out on potential leads.
2. Miss the valuable feedback from your targetted audience.

One of the main reasons for that is their constant engagement with users over comments.

Ignoring Negative Comments Can Hurt Your Brand Reputation

What if you ignore all the negative comments?

There's no harm in ignoring those comments that criticize your brand or your product, right?

That might be a common perception, but it's completely wrong.

How often do we come across Facebook ad posts that are quite tempting to explore, but as soon as you go to the comment section, it is filled with people bashing the product or the brand, leaving you with a bad perception of that brand?

You cannot change the sentiment by simply replying to all those comments.

But giving a prompt and eventful response can undoubtedly make you look responsible and genuine, which does go a long way!

The Negative Impact Of Spam Comments On Facebook Ad Posts

Unfortunately, Facebook ad comments are incomplete these days without all those spam comments hijacking the comment section.

How To Manage Facebook Ad Comments With Facebook Ad Manager?

Facebook has built an impressive ad manager that gives you a platform you need to manage every aspect of your ad posts (aka Dark posts). Using Facebook ads manager, you can hide comments on Facebook, delete comments, and directly reply to them. Facebook manages ads through the Facebook Ads Manager dashboard. You will be able to manage most parts of comments on your ads from the ads manager dashboard.

Here's what Facebook provides for managing Facebook comments:

• Profanity filter to block offensive language from appearing on your Page
• Page moderation to block specific words, phrases, or emojis from appearing on your Page
• Comment ranking to prioritize the most relevant comments at the top of your post
• Ability to hide or delete individual comments from a post on your Facebook Page
• Reporting a comment if it violates Facebook Community Standards

To know how to manage comments on Facebook ads via ads manager, follow the below steps:

• Go to Ads Manager
• At the Ad level, check the box next to the ad you'd like to view and click Edit (under the ad name) to open the side pane
• Click above your ad preview on the right
• Under the see post drop-down menu, select Facebook post with comments
• Facebook will list your posts with people's reactions

You can now view, like, and reply to the comments on your Facebook ads.

To hide a comment on Facebook,

• Locate the particular post with the comment you want to hide

• Hover your mouse over the comment, click on and select Hide

Hiding a comment on Facebook will keep it hidden from everyone except the person who made the comment and their friends. You can unhide the comment later on.

Now even though Facebook Ads Manager does give you these features to manage these comments, things get tricky when:

• You're running multiple ad campaigns
• Getting hundreds of comments

At Statusbrew, we realized the need for a better ad comment management solution and created a one-stop destination from where you can manage Facebook ad comments and even hide comments on Instagram, all in the same dashboard.

How To Automate Managing Facebook Ad Comments?

The biggest problem with managing comments on Facebook ads using the Facebook ad manager is the fact that there's no separation of comments between regular posts and ad posts (dark posts). There's no option to get rid of spam comments automatically, nor are there timely notifications of brand mentions.

Statusbrew's powerful Engage feature completely eliminates this problem by allowing you to filter all your ad post comments from the regular ones.
