Why comments matter, caption formats that start conversations and how custom comments work.

By the SMMJet team · 17 July 2026 · 2 min read

Comments are the strongest public signal that people actually read your post.

Caption formats that get comments

  • Either/or: "Chai or coffee? 👇"
  • Fill in the blank: "Best biryani in Hyderabad is ____"
  • Opinion: "Unpopular opinion: Goa is overrated in December"
  • Help me decide: "Which colour should we restock?"

Reply to build threads

Every reply doubles the comment count and keeps the conversation alive.

Pin a good comment

Pin a comment that answers the most common question (price, location).

Custom comments

With custom comments you write the comments yourself — one per line. Write them like real people: short, specific, sometimes a question. Indian comments post from Indian profiles and can be in Hinglish.
