Reddit - marketing for SEO

I want to get more SEO/GEO. I was thinking (and I'm pretty sure I saw people do it...) to create few alt accounts, start a thread something like "Best tools for XYZ" then just put all my competitors with me and in comments glaze myself. Do people sell that as a service or is it more of a DIY type of thing?

That’s a form of product or service seeding. It’s a very common strategy that many marketers use today.

Is there an official guide for this ahah. Or a guideline how to word it to have people discussing naturally Or simply is it purchasable as a WTB somewhere here?

You don't need a guide, you just structure it as a discussion.

Just like with propaganda there's a good way to do it and then there's the most effective way I suppose

You create the reddit post as a question but don't give a answer.Allow members of subreddit to answer the question ,their own way,when the traffic of the post die down then add a link to site or a mention of your website.That is reddit marketing 101 in a nutshell,don't need no guide just common sense,all for free lol

I would like to add one thing.
-rules are different for each sub. Choose sub carefully.

People definitely do that, but most of the time it's DIY. Some reputation/brand SEO agencies offer it as part of “forum seeding” or “community marketing”, but it's usually expensive and not always done properly.


On forums like BHW, Reddit, or niche communities, a lot of brands seed discussions like “Best tools for X” and then participate with different accounts to recommend themselves. The key is making it look natural — mixing real competitors, different opinions, and not over-promoting.


If you overdo the self-praise or post from fresh accounts, it becomes obvious pretty quickly. Aged accounts, normal posting history, and balanced recommendations usually work better.


Personally I see it more as brand positioning + discussion seeding, not just straight promotion.

People also do this in a way where they present or create a problem, then they give the solution by inputting their brand as a normal solution. It’s kind of similar to some affiliate methods that some people have said they have success with

Hey faddy1000, people definitely sell this in the marketplace. DIY is safer if you have aged accounts and clean proxies. Paid services often use burned accounts that will get your domain ghosted fast. Play it smart.
