The working Reddit playbook
Use this as the working brief before choosing a thread, writing a reply, or publishing a post.
Safest first move
Collect alternative modifiers by competitor, category, buyer role, and pain.
Subreddit fit
Start with r/marketing, r/saas, r/b2bmarketing, r/seo and use the related subreddit list before drafting.
What to post or comment
Create comparison content that answers those reasons directly.
What to avoid
Writing alternative pages from feature tables only. Treating every alternative thread as permission to pitch. Missing the emotional reason buyers are switching.

Reply in threads only when the recommendation would help without the product mention.
