What you can access depends on your country and advertiser size.

• Track mentions of your brand, your competitors, and your category
• Have AI summarize what people love and hate
• Capture the exact words customers use
• Spot unanswered questions you can help with

• Subreddits where your customers ask for help
• Industry and professional communities
• Local communities, if you run a local business
• Each subreddit’s rules on self-promotion, read first

• Answer questions with genuine expertise
• Say openly who you work for
• Share guides and resources, not sales pitches
• Mention your product only when it truly answers the question and the rules allow it

• Use a clearly labeled official account
• Have a real person post in a human voice
• Answer complaints in public and fix the problems
• Host an AMA with your founder or experts, once moderators approve

• Target by community, interest, or keyword
• Write ads that read like a helpful post, not a billboard
• Expect comments on your ads, and answer them
• Start with small budgets and test

Write five Reddit ad headlines for [product] aimed at members of [subreddit type]. Keep them plain, honest, specific, and helpful. No hype, no clickbait, and no claims we cannot back up.

Let AI produce drafts and variations. Then edit them to fit Reddit’s tone.

• Track conversions with the Reddit Pixel or Conversions API
• Follow brand mentions and sentiment over time
• Ask customers how they found you
• Monitor referral traffic from Reddit

• Fake accounts or posing as a customer
• Paid upvotes or paid posts
• Bots or mass-produced AI comments
• Ignored subreddit rules

Each of these breaks Reddit’s rules, can get your brand banned, and wrecks trust.
