Daily monitoring

Developing strategies is not enough; you need to monitor your Facebook page regularly. Whenever any visitors leave a comment or message, you must respond to them. Studies showed that people who have a positive experience while interacting with a brand are likelier to recommend the same to their acquaintances, friends & families. Even if you couldn’t reply to them individually, you must ‘like’ them to acknowledge their comments.

For negative or rude comments, you can respond to them positively. For certain misunderstandings, you can reply to them in the comment section. People, who have similar opinions, can find solutions in your reply. If it requires some time to solve the issue, you can shift the discussion to Facebook messenger.
