Question 1

What exactly is Reddit, and why does it matter for my business?

Accepted Answer

If Google is where people search for answers, Reddit is where they verify the truth. Unlike traditional social media, Reddit operates as a trust economy, where credibility is earned, not bought. Why ignoring Reddit is risky: The last check before purchase - About 88% of users consult Reddit before buying, and 76% believe posts there are more honest and truthful than on other platforms. When buyers feel unsure, they look for peer validation before making a decision. The AI citation engine - Reddit has become a key data source for search engines and AI platforms. Studies show that over 40% of AI-generated answers (from tools like ChatGPT) include Reddit references. If your brand stays silent, AI systems end up amplifying whatever opinions already dominate the conversation — even the negative ones. Unmatched ROI - Organic Reddit engagement consistently outperforms paid campaigns, delivering an average 748% ROI and converting nearly twice as well as ads.

Question 2

How do I start, and what is 'Karma'?

Accepted Answer

Reddit success builds on empathy, consistency, and authenticity. We call this the Comment-First Strategy. Karma is your social credit score — a public indicator of trust and contribution quality. Why Karma matters: Accounts under 100 karma are often hidden or restricted. Reaching 1,000 total karma signals authority and credibility. The comment advantage: Comments build karma faster and more safely than posts. One travel brand found that 67.5% of total upvotes came from comments alone. The 'Micro-Explainer' formula: High-performing comments usually follow a simple three-part structure: Direct answer – Solve the user's problem clearly. Why it happens – Add context or the rule behind the issue. What to do next – Offer an actionable next step.

Question 3

How fast can a new brand see results such as Google rankings?

Accepted Answer

Authority takes time, but visibility can appear quickly when the content is timely and accurate. Instant SEO velocity: A B2B firm reached Google Rank #1 within 20 minutes for a technical post. Rapid breakthrough: A travel startup landed on Google Page 1 within 72 hours after posting about digital passports. AI authority in weeks: That same brand was cited by Perplexity AI as a primary source after just three weeks of Reddit activity. Outranking official sources: Another company earned a Featured Snippet and Google #1 ranking, surpassing government websites.

Question 4

Does this strategy work for B2B or technical industries, and does it drive real leads?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In complex or high-trust markets, Reddit's peer validation can directly influence sales. Six-figure deals from threads: A cybersecurity company closed enterprise contracts discovered through Reddit discussions — without any ads. High-value AMAs: Expert-led 'Ask Me Anything' sessions are 3.8 times more effective than standard posts. They attract tens of thousands of views because they share real expertise with no sales pitch. Direct inquiries: Authentic participation builds instant trust. One travel startup received its first qualified DM lead from a user asking, 'Is this company legit?' An AI platform later got an organic DM from a founder interested in its methodology.

Question 5

What if our brand already has a negative reputation, such as people calling us a scam?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly when Reddit becomes most valuable. It allows for reputation recovery and defense through transparency and consistency. Rebuilding trust: A new AI firm restored credibility after a spam-flagged account by engaging helpfully and avoiding removals for two straight weeks. Changing narratives: A visa service shifted Reddit sentiment from 'It's a scam' to 'It's legit but expensive' through ongoing, helpful engagement. Transparency as proof: When an SEO expert corrected a brand publicly, the company responded with humility and cited credible sources. That moment turned a potential loss into a trust-building win. Every honest correction becomes evidence of reliability for silent readers watching the thread.

Question 6

What kind of content and tone perform best for long-term growth?

Accepted Answer

The strongest content blends shared frustration, storytelling, and actionable insight — all delivered in a human, conversational tone. Pain-point content: Posts like 'Why do passport photo rules still feel so outdated?' resonated deeply, earning 33,000 views by validating a common frustration. Relatable storytelling: Real-life scenarios such as 'POV: You walk into a government interview and realize your passport's at home' spark empathy and conversation. Timely PSAs: Actionable alerts, like holiday travel or visa deadline warnings, get shared widely. One post generated 71% of all weekly shares because it offered clear, timely value. Multi-account strategy: Many brands use both official and satellite accounts. The brand account handles factual updates and authoritative answers. The satellite persona engages more casually in sensitive communities. One such satellite account achieved twice the comment volume of the official brand account.

Question 7

How is this different from ads?

Accepted Answer

Reddit ads are like billboards, they show up, then they disappear. What we do is organic presence: posts and comments that stay, get upvoted, and even show up in Google results or AI answers. Ads give you quick impressions. We give you long-term trust.

Question 8

Why should we care about Reddit?

Accepted Answer

Because it's where buyers compare products. On Instagram, people scroll. On TikTok, people laugh. On Reddit? People ask: 'Brand A or Brand B?' If you're not there, your competitor already is.

Question 9

How do you measure results?

Accepted Answer

We track a clear set of KPIs: Mentions (number of times your brand and competitors are discussed), Engagement (upvotes, comments, reply depth per post), Estimated Views (based on upvote multiplier, 1 upvote equals approximately 50 views), Sentiment (percentage of positive/neutral/negative comments with AI-assisted analysis), Community (subreddit member growth, active participation), and SEO/AI Wins (Reddit posts showing up in Google or cited in AI answers). We report weekly snapshots plus monthly impact reports.

Question 10

How do you measure sentiment?

Accepted Answer

We collect Reddit comments mentioning your brand, then use AI (like GPT) to analyze tone. It gives us a breakdown of how many are positive, neutral, or negative — plus the main themes. This is updated monthly, so you always know how your reputation is shifting.

Question 11

How fast will we see results?

Accepted Answer

Usually, you'll see early visibility in weeks (upvotes, mentions). But the real power is long-term: posts that rank in search, threads that keep being found, communities that grow over months. Reddit is a compounding strategy, not a one-shot ad.

Question 12

How do you avoid getting banned or downvoted?

Accepted Answer

We follow Reddit culture: Add value before mentioning the brand, respect subreddit rules and moderators, never spam or buy votes or fake comments, and use authentic, human tone (not corporate-speak). That's why our posts get upvotes instead of bans.

Question 13

Do you create subreddits for brands?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only if it makes sense. A subreddit works best when there's already interest and questions about your brand. Otherwise, we focus on joining existing conversations where buyers already hang out.

Question 14

What makes Thredly different?

Accepted Answer

We don't just 'post for you.' We listen first (what's being said, good and bad), engage authentically (no spam), and report clearly (you'll see what's working, what's not). And unlike big agencies, we're transparent about risk. We don't promise 'safe forever', we promise honest, smart, and careful strategy.

Question 15

Can you guarantee sales?

Accepted Answer

No. Reddit is not an ad channel; it's an awareness plus trust channel. We guarantee visibility, engagement, reputation management, and community growth. Sales happen because Reddit builds credibility that pushes buyers closer to conversion.

Question 16

What do you need from us?

Accepted Answer

We'll need honest product info (strengths and weaknesses), tone-of-voice guidelines (if available), and quick approval on sensitive replies (24–48h SLA). We handle the rest.

Question 17

Who is this NOT for?

Accepted Answer

If you only want quick clicks from ads, or you don't care about what people say about you online, Reddit probably isn't for you. If you care about trust and presence, we'll be a fit.

Question 18

How does this impact SEO?

Accepted Answer

Reddit is one of the few platforms where posts get indexed in Google within hours, show up in AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini), and stay discoverable for months or years. That means your participation isn't just in Reddit, it directly influences search visibility and buyer research journeys.

Question 19

Can we control the narrative if there's negative sentiment?

Accepted Answer

Not 100%. Reddit is peer-driven. What we do is acknowledge real concerns (silence looks worse), correct misinformation with credibility, and amplify positive experiences by encouraging advocates. Over time, this shifts the balance from negative to neutral, neutral to positive.

Question 20

What's the ROI of organic Reddit?

Accepted Answer

ROI looks different from ads. Instead of CTR and CPM, it's about deflection of support tickets (when answers live on Reddit), organic leads (buyers message or follow up after threads), SEO lift (Reddit threads ranking for your keywords), and brand trust (buyers choosing you because Reddit said so). Clients who track conversions often find Reddit threads are cited in discovery calls or even in closed deals.

Question 21

Is it safe for B2B brands?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in fact, B2B buyers often prefer Reddit because it feels unbiased. Many SaaS, fintech, and security brands are already there. The key is to blend in as a peer rather than a salesperson.

Question 22

How do you handle compliance-sensitive industries (health, finance, etc.)?

Accepted Answer

We adapt tone and subreddit targeting. For sensitive sectors, content is peer-to-peer (not promotional), we avoid medical or financial claims, and we stick to helpful information (not guarantees). This keeps brands safe while still visible in buyer conversations.
