How It Works

Meta counts every comment posted directly on your ad post, including threaded replies within existing comment chains. Post comments accumulate over the ad’s lifetime and are attributed based on when the comment was posted, not when the ad was first shown.

When to Use

Surfacing customer objections	Review comment content to identify common questions or product concerns
Prioritizing community management	Higher comment counts require active monitoring and response
Evaluating engagement depth	Post comments indicate deeper engagement than passive likes or reactions

Meta Engagements	Parent metric that includes comments plus likes, shares, and saves
