Have you gained real customers through facebook without using paid ads

honestly the page thing is a bit overrated when you got no ad budget. facebook barely shows page posts to anyone now, like 2-3% reach on a good day. what actually moved the needle for me was running most of it off my personal profile instead of the page. people trust a face way more than a logo, specially in local service stuff.

the group advice here is solid but the real trick is dont go in to sell. i answered peoples questions for months before i ever mentioned what i did. the moment someone tags you in a group asking "does anyone know someone for X"... thats worth more than 50 page posts imo.

and closing happens in messenger not the comments. get the convo into DMs early. nobody buys day one tho so you gotta be patient with it.

Focused on posting helpful content, joining active groups, and replying to every comment. Being consistent and building real relationships brought better results than trying to promote my business every day.

I agree with you, you have to be clear with your thoughts,

I think yes, but it's certainly a hard journey and it also takes a long time. however, don't give up. I see some people got good result. it requires you need to try harder than others, your content needs to be unique to attract audience.

Yes it is possible but in my experience it depends a lot on consistency and how targeted your approach is. Organic facebook growth usually comes from being active in relevant groups, sharing useful content and building trust over time instead of pushing sales directly.
What i have seen work best is focusing on first value then slowly turning engagement into conversations and leads rather than trying to sell immediately.

I have found that regularly posting helpful content and interacting with people in the comments section has helped build trust over time

to get the result in organic way, you need to be patient. but I think, running ads is still better. anyway, you can try to mix 2 these ways.
