Tenant Screening question

This is my first time having to advertise my rental. I have it posted on Craigslist, Zillow which also posts it to Hotpad and Trulia, and I have it posted on Facebook Marketplace. I have had a lot of interest it, in just two days. I did an open house today with only 3 people showing up. Now I let calls go to voicemail and call back when I’m ready and able to talk. No problem there. But what I’m having issues with is the Facebook messages and emails. I tried at first to answer all the messages but it seems like maybe 10% of people message me back. Now for the emails, all I get is I’m interest and their phone number. I listed in my postings to call and my number. Should I just focus my attention on the people that actually call and the occasional email that asks questions? And just disregard all those messages? I’m beginning to feel like if they are serious, they will call. Any advice would be great. My rental is in a C class neighborhood.
