Question 1: I recently posted a question on a company’s Facebook wall and checked the next day hoping for a response. I was surprised to see my post was removed. What are your thoughts on removing customer questions from Facebook, and is this okay to do?
Our Response: Removing client questions or negative feedback from a business’s social media site is a big no-no in our book. A surprisingly large percentage of companies, including well-known brands, regularly let posts “disappear.” Unless it contains inappropriate content or spam, we feel that a company should never outright delete a question or comment from the public eye. When businesses ignore or remove an obvious question on a social network, not only does this look bad to their fans, but they’re also losing a great customer service opportunity to drive more interest, customers, or sales!

Regarding question number one, they would normally do that if they can’t answer the question or they simply don’t have the time to get back to you. Anyway, I find this UpCity Daily Tips newsletter to be useful. It seems to me that they would answer your questions in a heartbeat.
