About this tutorial

Reels from a public account can reach people who have never seen your page, which makes them the best place to ask for a comment. The playbook: say a keyword in the Reel, put it on screen and in the caption, and add a SocialAutoDM rule on the Reel. Everyone who comments the keyword gets a public reply, which shows new viewers that commenting works, and a DM with exactly what the Reel promised. Your Reels appear in the post library with their insights, including plays. Pick a keyword nobody types by accident, and use Contains so it counts inside a longer comment.
