<![CDATA[Social media, especially Instagram, has transformed how businesses interact with customers and market products. However, there remains a literature gap regarding customer acquisition measurement through sentiment analysis of Instagram comments. This research aims to measure customer acquisition at Insyira Oleh-Oleh Pekanbaru by analyzing 1,363 comments from May 2024 to May 2025 using Python-based Natural Language Processing (NLP). The results show neutral sentiment dominates (47.7%) with the highest acquisition rate (50.9%) - meaning every 2 neutral comments yield 1 acquisition - compared to positive (37.7%) and negative comments (41.8%). The Chi-square test confirms the significant relationship between sentiment and acquisition (?²=21.78; p<0.0001), while (OR=0.58; CI[0.46,0.73]) indicates positive comments have 42% lower acquisition probability than neutral ones, forming triangular consistency that eliminates doubts. Negative sentiment also yields higher acquisition than positive sentiment, challenging the assumption that positive comments are most effective for acquisition. This reveals neutral comments containing product inquiries have greater acquisition potential. The study provides new insights for digital marketing strategy, emphasizing the importance of quick responses to neutral comments to enhance new customer conversion.]]>
