Facebook Ghosts
On this page
A Facebook post finder Ghost searches public Facebook posts by keyword and keeps the ones that match your goal. It finds posts, not comments. A post can come from a person, a page or a group.
Private groups are out of reach
The Ghost reads public posts and posts in public groups. Posts in private groups never show up as Finds.
Reply on Facebook, not from PitchGhost
PitchGhost can’t send or record actions on Facebook Finds. The action editor still appears on a Facebook Find, but sending or recording an action returns an error. Open the post on Facebook and respond there.
With suggested responses (Pro and Expert), your Ghost still drafts comments and messages that you can copy from the Find.
Queries are plain keywords
Each Ghost takes up to 10 queries of up to 150 characters. Facebook has no quotes, no OR and no exclusions, and every word in a query must appear in the post. See Facebook search syntax.
The weekly estimate next to a query counts raw search results. Your goal and Match threshold decide how many become Finds.
Scans run once a day at most
In Scan frequency, choose a number of days. A Facebook Ghost set to hours won’t save.
Filters
Location takes one place from a fixed list, mostly cities in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
A Ghost you create automatically never sets Language. Add it yourself if you need it.
