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:
- Join — Search and join local community groups by city
- Engage — Warm up the account with likes, comments, and life posts
- Bait — Post recommendation requests to surface top providers
- Analyze — Parse replies to rank the most-recommended businesses
- 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 "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/scripts/fb-ops.sh" <action> [options]
Actions
| Action | Description | Key Options |
|--------|-------------|-------------|
| join | Join local Facebook groups | --city, --count, --query |
| engage | Like + comment in joined groups | --likes, --comments |
| post | Post a life update on profile | --text (or auto-generate) |
| bait | Post a recommendation request in a group | --group, --trade, --template |
| analyze | Analyze replies to find top providers | --url (post URL) |
| warm | Full warm-up cycle (join + engage + post) | --city, --intensity |
| status | Check account status and post replies | (none) |
Examples
# Join 5 Austin groups
bash "$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.
