Playbook: SaaS launch with Reddit Leads and Manual Order

This playbook fits a SaaS launch where the team needs buyer-intent Reddit threads before spending credits. The goal is to find comparison, alternative, pricing, and problem threads where a useful answer can survive moderation.

Start with research. A launch works better when the first comments are specific to the thread instead of copied across several communities.

Build a keyword list before opening the panel. Include the product category, main use case, competitors, alternative phrases, pricing objections, and customer pain points.

Add those groups in Leads Settings, then validate them with Reddit Search. Shortlist threads with recommendation requests, comparison debates, migration questions, complaints, or workflow discussions.

Read each shortlisted thread before ordering. Check the original post, top comments, subreddit rules, thread age, recent replies, and whether users tolerate product mentions.

Use Buy Reddit Comment only when the thread deserves a planned answer. Add Comment Upvotes only after the comment is live, visible from a clean browser session, and worth keeping visible.

Track thread URL, subreddit, keyword, comment URL, standing status, replies, visible rank, clicks when available, and next action.

Feed repeated Reddit questions back into launch assets. Strong patterns should become FAQ answers, comparison copy, landing page sections, or new Leads Settings keywords.
