One post. A DM funnel. Booked clients.

Someone comments on your post and your AI takes it from there: replies publicly, opens the DM in seconds, answers their questions in your voice, and books them in - while the interest is still warm. You see exactly which post made you money.

Works on posts, reels, stories and paid ads. Instagram and Facebook.

Hi Maya, thanks for commenting - just sent you the price list here. Are you thinking about a first appointment or a top-up?
First one! Do you have anything Saturday?
We do - Saturday 11:20 or 14:40. Shall I hold one while you pop me your email for the confirmation?
11:20 please - maya@…

The leak

Your content earns the attention. Then the attention waits.

Most businesses answer comments and DMs when someone gets a minute - hours later, often the next day. On social, that's a lifetime: the person who commented at 9pm booked with whoever replied at 9:01.

Comments answered too late

"How much is it?" under a reel is a buying signal, not small talk. By the time someone replies "check your DMs", the moment - and the buyer - has moved on.

The link-in-bio maze

Comment, open profile, tap link, load page, find form, fill form, wait. Every step loses people. A DM funnel removes all of them: the conversation is the funnel.

Nobody owns the DMs at 9pm

Social attention peaks in the evening and at weekends - exactly when nobody is on the account. Those are your highest-intent hours, answered by silence.

How it works

You post like you already do. The funnel does the rest.

Setup takes days, not weeks, and nothing about how you create content changes.

01

Pick the post and the trigger

A keyword like PRICES or GUIDE, or any comment at all. We set up to three funnels live at once and swap them as you post.

02

The AI replies in seconds

A short public reply so everyone sees you're responsive, then straight into the DM - matched to the post they came from, in your tone.

03

It answers and qualifies

Prices, availability, what's included - answered from your approved information only. It asks the questions a good salesperson would, and never argues with a stranger in public.

04

It books in the chat

Real slots offered inside the DM, email collected before anything is confirmed, booking straight into your calendar with reminders to cut no-shows.

05

You see what worked

Every booking is tracked to the post that produced it. Next month you make more of what makes money - that's the whole game.

The first credible reply usually wins.

Social attention decays in minutes, not days. The evidence on enquiry response is blunt: contact attempted within a minute converts up to 391% better, and responding within the hour makes you about seven times more likely to qualify the lead than waiting even a little longer.

A DM funnel is simply a way of being first, every time, on the channel where your audience already is - without living in your phone.

391%
higher conversion when contact is attempted within one minute of the enquiry. Your comments section is a stream of enquiries - treated like one, it behaves like one.
The rules it plays by

Built to make you look good, not spammy.

Only people who came to you

The funnel replies to people who comment on your content or message your pages. It never cold-messages strangers - that's both the law and the brand.

Honest about being AI

It answers naturally in your tone, and if anyone asks, it says what it is. Most people just notice they got a fast, helpful reply at 9pm.

A human always behind it

Complaints, sensitive cases and anything it isn't sure about are handed to you the moment they appear, with the full conversation attached.

Pricing

One flat price. Every funnel tracked.

No long lock-in, 30 days' notice. Setup covers connecting your pages, writing the funnel conversations with you, and testing until they sound right.

Worth anchoring to your own numbers: if a booked client is worth £150 to £300 to you, one extra booking a month covers the funnel several times over - and the per-post tracking shows you exactly where each booking came from. No results are promised; the tracking is the point.

Questions

What owners ask before switching this on.

Do I need a big following for this to work?
No. Funnels convert intent, not volume - a post about prices, availability or a specific offer seen by 400 of the right local people can outperform a viral reel seen by strangers. They also run on paid ads, where the audience size is whatever you set.
Will my followers know it's AI?
It writes in your tone, from your approved information, and paces its replies like a person. If someone asks directly, it's honest about being your assistant. What people mostly notice is that you're the account that actually replies at 9pm.
What happens when someone asks something off-script?
It says it'll check and hands the conversation to you with full context, rather than guessing. It never argues in public, never discusses medical or legal specifics, and never improvises prices.
Does it work on paid ads?
Yes - comment triggers on promoted posts and click-to-DM ads both feed the same funnel, which is where it gets properly interesting: every pound of ad spend lands in a conversation that answers in seconds instead of a form that answers never.
Can it deliver a freebie, like a guide or a price list?
Yes - "comment GUIDE and I'll send it over" is a one-message funnel, and it works. The better version follows the delivery with one good question, because the guide was never the point - the conversation is.
Which platforms?
Instagram and Facebook - comments, DMs, story replies and mentions. That's where comment-to-DM exists as a mechanic and where UK service businesses see the intent.
