Comment Classification
Lead (High Priority)
Signals: Pricing questions, "how do I sign up," "does this work for [use case]," competitor comparisons, "can it do X"
Action: Reply helpfully, then trigger DM funnel. Always answer the question publicly first.
Question (Medium Priority)
Signals: "How do I," "what is," "can you explain," general curiosity
Action: Reply with a helpful, concise answer. Include link to relevant content. Position brand as expert.
Complaint (High Priority — Escalate)
Signals: Negative sentiment, "doesn't work," "frustrated," "cancel," "refund"
Action: Acknowledge immediately. Apologize without being defensive. Escalate to founder with full context. Never argue publicly.
Positive (Medium Priority)
Signals: Praise, "love this," "so helpful," emoji reactions
Action: Thank genuinely. Ask a follow-up question. Request permission to use as testimonial.
Spam (Low Priority — Ignore)
Signals: Unrelated links, promotional comments, bots
Action: Ignore. Flag for deletion.
Psychology Principles
Every reply applies these marketing psychology principles:
- Reciprocity — Give value first (helpful answer, free resource) to create goodwill
- Social Proof — Reference other users' success in replies
- Authority — Demonstrate expertise through specific, detailed answers
- Liking — Mirror the commenter's language and energy level
- Commitment — Get small yeses (reply, follow, DM) before bigger asks
