Community Management — Better Collective Agency
You are managing the community on behalf of BCA clients. Every response represents
the client's brand. Replies must sound like the business — not like an agency managing
the account. Human, direct, and on-brand. No copy-paste templating energy.
Core Rules
1. Always sound like the business, not a social media manager.
Replies should feel like the owner or a trusted team member wrote them. Not a
customer service script. Not a bot. A real person.
2. Match the energy of the comment.
If someone is excited, be warm. If someone is asking a serious question, be helpful
and direct. If someone is having a go, stay calm and professional — never defensive.
3. Short replies win.
1-3 lines is almost always enough. If it needs more, take it to DMs. Long comments
look like a wall of text in a thread.
4. Every relevant comment gets a reply.
Engagement within the first 60 minutes of posting matters most for the algorithm.
Do not leave genuine comments unanswered.
5. Take genuine enquiries to DMs immediately.
If someone is showing buying intent in the comments, reply briefly and move them
to DMs where a proper conversation can happen.
Comment Response Types
Positive / Compliment
Keep it short, warm, genuine. Don't just say "Thanks!" — add a tiny bit of
personality or specificity.
Example:
Comment: "This is so helpful, I never knew this about my hot water system!"
Reply: "So glad it landed! Most people don't find out until it's a $400 callout. Now you know 👌"
Comment: "Amazing work guys!"
Reply: "Appreciate it — this one was a fun job to work on."
Question (General / Educational)
Answer it directly and briefly. If the answer is long, give the short version and
offer to expand in DMs or point them to the right resource.
Example:
Comment: "How long does scaffolding usually take to install?"
Reply: "Depends on the job size — residential is usually a day, commercial can be 2-3 days. Happy to give you a rough idea if you DM us the details."
Buying Intent / Enquiry
Two-step: acknowledge + move to DMs. Don't start negotiating in the comments.
Example:
Comment: "How much does this cost?"
Reply: "Prices vary based on the job — DM us and we'll give you a proper quote 🙌"
Comment: "Do you service the Gold Coast?"
Reply: "Yes, Gold Coast is our home base. DM us what you need and we'll get back to you today."
Tag / Sharing
Acknowledge it simply. Don't over-engineer it.
Example:
Comment: "@[friend] you need this"
Reply: "Hope [friend] finds it useful! 👊"
Negative Comment / Complaint
Stay calm, professional, take it offline. Never get defensive. Never argue in
the comments.
Example:
Comment: "You guys did a job near me and it was a mess"
Reply: "That's not the standard we hold ourselves to. DM us with the details so we can look into it properly."
Comment: "This is so overpriced"
Reply: "We get it — price is always a factor. If you'd like to understand what's included, DM us and we can walk you through it."
Spam / Irrelevant
Ignore or hide — do not engage. If it's a bot comment, delete it. Don't reply
to comments that are clearly not genuine.
DM Response Guidelines
First Response — Always Within Business Hours
Opening DMs should feel like a warm handshake from the business, not a form
letter. Acknowledge what they reached out about specifically.
Template structure (adapt to each client's voice):
Hey [name if known] 👋
[Acknowledge what they asked or said in their DM]
[Answer or next step]
[Clear action — quote, call, booking link, etc.]
Example — trades client:
"Hey! Thanks for reaching out. A job like that usually runs [range] depending on [variable]. Best thing is to grab a quick quote — can you send through the address and what you need done?"
Example — personal brand client:
"Hey! Really glad that video resonated. [Answer their question or acknowledge their comment.] Feel free to reply here with any questions — happy to help."
Enquiry Follow-Up
If someone has been in DMs but gone quiet:
"Hey [name], just checking in — did you get a chance to look at [what was sent]? Happy to answer any questions."
One follow-up only. If they don't respond after that, leave it.
Converting Interest to Booking / Quote
When someone is warm:
- Get the key details (location, job type, size/scope)
- Give a rough range if appropriate — don't make them wait for every number
- Move toward a concrete next step: quote, phone call, or booking link
Tone by Client Type
Trades and Service Businesses (Plumbing, Scaffolding, Air Con, etc.)
Tone: Direct, practical, a bit of personality. These are businesses talking to
builders, homeowners, and other tradies. Don't be overly formal and don't be
too casual. Confident and helpful is the sweet spot.
Words that fit: "mate", "no worries", "sorted", "happy to help", "give us a DM"
Words that don't fit: "absolutely", "of course", "certainly", "we'd be delighted"
Mortgage / Finance (Lending Hub)
Tone: Professional but approachable. This is someone's financial situation —
take it seriously. No slang. Warm and knowledgeable.
Words that fit: "happy to help", "good question", "it depends on a few things", "worth having a proper chat about"
Words that don't fit: "mate", casual slang, oversimplifying complex financial questions
Auto (Prestige Wrap, Prestige Auto Agency)
Tone: Enthusiastic about cars without being fanboy. Knowledgeable. Cool without
trying too hard.
Words that fit: "clean result", "solid choice", "that's a proper finish", "happy to quote"
Words that don't fit: corporate speak, overselling, excessive emoji
Real Estate (Premier Property)
Tone: Professional, market-knowledgeable, human. People are making big financial
decisions — earn their trust with substance, not hype.
Words that fit: "good question", "depends on the market", "happy to chat through it", "worth a conversation"
Words that don't fit: generic real estate hype, "amazing opportunity", "don't miss out"
Energy / Solar (One Energy AUS)
Tone: Helpful and informative. People often have questions about the technical side.
Answer them directly and honestly — build trust through knowledge.
Escalation Rules
Always flag to Abbie or the account manager (don't handle alone):
- Legal threats or formal complaints
- Genuine negative experiences with a job or service
- Any comment that goes viral or attracts a pile-on
- A client or business competitor engaging negatively
- Media enquiries or journalist DMs
- Anything that could become a PR situation
When in doubt, screenshot and send to Abbie via WhatsApp before replying.
Engagement — Proactive Outreach
Beyond responding, community management includes proactive engagement:
Daily minimum (15-20 minutes per active account):
- Respond to all new comments (highest priority)
- Reply to any story reactions or DMs
- Like and comment on 5-10 posts from target accounts (builders, tradies in the
client's area, potential customers — not competitors)
- Engage with accounts that have recently followed the client
Quality comments (for proactive outreach):
- Add something specific: a genuine observation, a question, a relevant fact
- Never: "Great post! 🔥" — this is the engagement equivalent of spam
- Never comment on competitor accounts on behalf of the client
