The Hidden Revenue in Your Ad Comments
How ignored engagement costs your brand >10% of revenues.
Jun 20, 2025

Meta ads are working—kind of. You’re driving clicks, traffic, maybe even purchases. But scroll one layer deeper—to the comments section—and you’ll see the truth: missed questions, buyer hesitations, and praise left unanswered.
In 2025, what's killing ROAS isn’t bad creative—it’s ignored engagement.
Every Comment Is a Missed Conversion Opportunity
For eCommerce brands spending five to seven figures on Meta ads, every question in a comment is a signal of buying intent.
Think about it:
“Do you ship to Canada?”
“Is this true to size?”
“What’s the return policy?”
These aren’t likes—they’re leads. Ignoring them doesn’t just damage brand trust. It leaves real money on the table.
Businesses that reply to at least 25% of customer conversations generate 35% more revenue (Fera.ai). Yet most eCommerce brands don’t reply to even 10% of their ad comments.
That gap? It’s your competitive advantage—if you act on it.
Community Isn’t a Buzzword. It’s Revenue.
Brands that prioritize connection outperform. Sephora’s Beauty Insider Community is a prime example.
According to NumberAnalytics, members of that community spend 10x more time engaging with the brand and convert at 7x the rate of non-members
That’s not anecdotal. It’s strategy. And it starts with meeting your customers where they already are—in your social and ad comments.
In fact, people spend up to 49% more money at businesses that reply to reviews (Fera.ai). Whether it’s a product question or a shoutout, replying matters.
The Cost of Ignoring Comments
Wasted CAC: You paid for the impression and engagement. If you don't respond, that cost never turns into revenue.
Weaker social proof: Unanswered questions and complaints lower consumer confidence.
Lower reach: Meta rewards ads with high-quality engagement. Responsiveness helps lift your overall delivery.
The result? Lower ROAS. Fewer conversions. And a leaky funnel you can’t afford.
