Facebook Local Group Lead Generation — find, engage, and convert local service providers through community recommendations.

Overview

This skill automates a 5-step lead generation funnel on Facebook local groups:

1. Join — Search and join local community groups by city
2. Engage — Warm up the account with likes, comments, and life posts
3. Bait — Post recommendation requests to surface top providers
4. Analyze — Parse replies to rank the most-recommended businesses
5. Pitch — Generate personalized DM scripts for outreach

Prerequisites

• web-access skill must be installed and CDP proxy running (localhost:3456)
• Chrome must have remote debugging enabled (chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging)
• Must be logged into Facebook in Chrome

Quick Check

curl -s http://localhost:3456/targets | head -1

If this returns a JSON array, you're ready. If not, run:

CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR=~/.claude/skills/web-access node ~/.claude/skills/web-access/scripts/check-deps.mjs

Usage

All commands use the main entry point:

bash "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/scripts/fb-ops.sh" <action> [options]

Actions

Action	Description	Key Options
join	Join local Facebook groups	--city, --count, --query
engage	Like + comment in joined groups	--likes, --comments

bait	Post a recommendation request in a group	--group, --trade, --template
analyze	Analyze replies to find top providers	--url (post URL)
warm	Full warm-up cycle (join + engage + post)	--city, --intensity

Examples

# Join 5 Austin groups
bash "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/scripts/fb-ops.sh" join --city Austin --count 5

# Full warm-up: 20 likes, 8 comments, 5 groups, 1 life post
bash "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/scripts/fb-ops.sh" warm --city Austin --intensity double

# Post a bait in a group asking for plumber recommendations
bash "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/scripts/fb-ops.sh" bait --group "South Austin Neighbors" --trade plumber --template complaint

# Analyze replies on a bait post
bash "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/scripts/fb-ops.sh" analyze --url "https://www.facebook.com/groups/xxx/posts/yyy"

# Check what's happening — pending posts, replies, account health
bash "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/scripts/fb-ops.sh" status

Strategy Guide

Account Warm-up (Days 1-7)

New or dormant accounts need warm-up before posting bait. The algorithm:

Day	Likes	Comments	Groups Joined	Life Posts
1-2	10	4	5	1
3-4	15	6	5	1
5-7	20	8	5	1

Run warm action 2-4 times per day with random intervals. Avoid patterns.

Rate Limit Awareness

• Group joins: Max 5 per batch, 30-60s between each. If rate-limited, stop and wait 24h.
• Comments: 8-12 per session, 8-15s between each. Vary the text.
• Posts: Max 2-3 bait posts per day across different groups.
• Session length: Keep each session under 15 minutes.

Bait Post Templates

Five proven templates available via --template:

Template	Style	Best For
urgent	"Emergency! Need [trade] ASAP"	High urgency, fast replies
research	"Doing research, who's the best..."	Neutral, many recommendations
newcomer	"Just moved to [city], need..."	Sympathetic, welcoming replies
complaint	"Had terrible experience, need someone better"	Emotional, specific recommendations
poll	"Who's your go-to [trade]?"	Engagement-style, many tags

Analyzing Replies

The analyze action parses comments for:

• @mentions and tagged business pages
• "I recommend X" / "Call X" / "Use X" patterns
• Phone numbers and business names (Title Case detection)
• Frequency ranking — most-mentioned = highest priority lead

Outreach DM Templates

After identifying top providers, generate personalized DMs:

• Warm intro: Reference the group + original post
• Value prop: Mention their frequent recommendations
• CTA: Offer free trial / consultation
• Follow-up: 3-day and 7-day scripts

Important Notes

• This skill operates on the user's real Chrome browser via CDP. All actions are visible to Facebook.
• Facebook actively detects automation. Built-in delays and randomization reduce risk but cannot eliminate it.
• Always warm up accounts before posting bait. Cold accounts posting requests get flagged.
• Respect group rules — some groups prohibit self-promotion or solicitation.
• The skill creates and closes its own browser tabs. It does not touch existing user tabs.
