Offers · Reddit Intelligence
Reddit, a primary source for AI engines. Take your place there.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews rely on Reddit to recommend tools. We find the threads they cite on your buying questions, measure your real standing, then act.
Threads where your brand is missing are the priority targets.
Why Reddit
Reddit has become a top-tier source for AI engines.
Answer engines cite Reddit more than almost any other site, and both Google and OpenAI have signed deals to access its content. Ignoring Reddit means letting others write part of the answers about your market.

The offer
From audit to presence, in four steps.
The audit can be ordered on its own. The next steps follow when you decide. Everything runs in the same platform.
Audit
The threads AI engines cite on your buying questions, your real standing against competitors, the communities that matter, who speaks and what users complain about.
Action plan
Which threads and communities to take first, the angles to defend, the objections to address, the cadence.
Activation
Our team writes contributions on the targeted threads. You approve each one before it goes live.
Production and tracking
The in-depth content threads and AI engines pick up: pages, comparisons, answers to objections, profiles. Then a regular report: live contributions, mentions of your brand and competitors, newly cited threads, standing re-measured.

The audit
Six readings of Reddit, all tied to AI answers.
Every figure opens onto the posts that prove it, with their date.
The threads AI engines cite
Every Reddit thread picked up in our measurements: by which engines, on which questions, how often, and whether your brand is in it.
Your real standing
Mentions, share of voice and net sentiment, computed twice: with every account, then without promotional accounts.
Where your market talks
Subreddits classified one by one: size, discussion volume, weight in AI answers, tolerance for self-promotion.
Who speaks, and for whom
The most active accounts qualified one by one: disclosed or undisclosed vendor, partner, real user. Every label cites its evidence.
The real objections
Negative posts analyzed one by one, with their reason: price, missing features, reliability, complexity, support.
Early warning signs
Astroturfing accusations, accounts gone or suspended, threads turning sour: what may end up repeated by AI engines.

FAQ
Reddit Intelligence.
Why does Reddit matter for AI visibility?
Reddit was the most cited domain across ChatGPT Search, Google AI Mode and Perplexity in January 2026, appearing in 11.3% of their answers in a Semrush analysis of 325,000 prompts, and both Google and OpenAI have signed deals to access its content. On a single B2B software market, our measurements found 274 cited market threads, for 2,106 citations. What is said about you there, and by whom, can end up in the answers.
How is this different from a Reddit agency?
A Reddit agency posts. Reddit Intelligence starts from the threads AI engines actually cite on your buying questions, measures your real standing without promotional accounts, acts where it matters, then re-measures.
Can I order the audit on its own?
Yes. The audit and its action plan can be ordered on their own. Activation, production and tracking follow if you choose.
What data do you use?
Only public discussions visible on Reddit today, and the threads AI engines cite in our own measurements. No archives: deleted content is not recovered.
How do you know an account works for a brand?
The most active accounts are analyzed one by one. What an account says about itself comes first, and every label cites its evidence: the post and its date. Every label also carries a confidence level: strong evidence, suspicion or weak signal.
Do you publish account or brand names?
No. The details, evidence included, are reserved for the client in their audit. The figures on this page are market-level, with no names.
How much does Reddit Intelligence cost?
It depends on the number of brands tracked, the communities to cover and the activation volume. Contact us for a quote.
