## Reddit decides your category. You're not in the room.

Reddit is cited in roughly 40% of AI answers. The threads where buyers compare options end up inside ChatGPT and Perplexity, and showing up there without looking like spam is hard, so most brands stay out entirely.

## Answer the thread. Become the source.

What happens to one r/fintech thread: the reply your team posts, the upvotes it earns, and the answer that quotes it.

## Find. Draft. Post.

### The threads the engines quote

Instead of scrolling subreddits, you get a queue of the threads buyers read, ranked by influence, with the engines that cite each one shown next to it.

### Written like a regular

Replies are drafted in your brand voice with the answer first. The editor scores each draft as you work on it, so you can see what to fix before it goes anywhere.

### A person posts it, then it's tracked

A teammate adds any disclosure the subreddit expects and posts from their own account. From then on, the thread's citations show up beside the other engines.

## The agent drafts. You decide what posts.

Every reply moves from draft to approved to posted, or gets skipped. Your team edits inline, and a person posts each reply from their own account. Mentionova never posts to Reddit.

- **Signals on every draft:** The editor scores each draft as you work on it: a humanity score, marketing words, em dashes and word count, so you can see what to fix before you approve.
- **Your voice, your edit:** Drafts follow your brand-voice profile and read like a helpful regular. Your team edits inline, including any disclosure the subreddit expects.
- **Draft → approved → posted:** Every reply has a status your whole team can see, and skipped threads stay skipped.

## Questions, answered.

### What is Reddit SEO?

Reddit SEO is the work of earning visibility in the Reddit threads that search and AI engines surface for your category. Because engines treat real, specific community answers as high-trust, a helpful reply in the right thread can end up quoted inside ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI. Good Reddit SEO means finding the threads that are already cited, answering the question honestly, disclosing who you are and letting the community decide.

### Why does Reddit matter for AI answers?

Reddit is the single most-cited domain in AI answers, with roughly 40% of citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI tracing back to it. Models treat lived, specific, community-verified experience as a strong signal, so the thread where buyers compare options can become the source the engine quotes. If your category is decided in a thread, being part of that conversation is part of being in the answer.

### What does this Reddit marketing tool do?

It helps you find and join the conversations your buyers have on Reddit. This Reddit marketing tool watches for your brand, your competitors and your category's questions, ranks the threads AI engines cite, and drafts a reply in your voice that answers first and discloses who you are. A person on your team approves every reply before it's posted.

### Does it post to Reddit automatically?

No. Every reply goes from draft to approved to posted, or gets skipped, and a person on your team makes that call. The agent never posts on its own. That keeps your account, your judgment and the community's trust with you, which is the only way Reddit marketing holds up over time.

### Is it a Reddit monitoring tool too?

Yes. As a Reddit monitoring tool it tracks mentions of your brand, your competitors and the questions buyers ask in your category. Each matching thread is queued with its subreddit, upvotes, comment count and age, and the threads AI engines cite are marked, so you know which ones to answer first.

### Can I monitor specific keywords on Reddit?

Yes. Reddit keyword monitoring covers your brand name, your competitors' names and your category's questions. Matching threads land in one queue instead of a feed you have to scroll, ranked so the conversations that reach AI answers come first, with a reply already drafted for each.

### Can Reddit help with lead generation?

It can, when it's done honestly. Threads where buyers ask what to use are where Reddit lead generation happens, and a reply that answers the question well and discloses your affiliation is the kind that earns trust. Mentionova drafts that kind of reply and leaves the decision to post with you.

### Which plans include the Reddit Agent?

Reddit engagement, with drafted replies and the comment queue, is included on every brand plan from Starter up, and from the Growth plan for agencies. Enriching a thread — its upvotes, comment count and a drafted reply — is metered at 5 tasks from the plan's shared pool. Starter and Launch cover monitoring across three AI engines; every other plan tracks all six, including Reddit itself.
