Can I promote consulting software in r/consulting?
Direct promotion is risky. A disclosed mention can fit only when it solves a specific consultant workflow problem.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Stay relevant to consulting: Posts should be about consulting or the work life, tradeoffs, and problems of consultants.
- Use megathreads for recruiting and beginner questions: Learning about consulting, job search, and starting-in-consulting questions belong in the appropriate megathreads.
- No confidential or illegal material: Do not share illegal content, client confidential information, or private firm material.
- No spam, offers, surveys, or AI slop: Ads, free offers, market research, homework help, surveys, blogs, and low-quality AI content are treated as spam.
Works well
- Consulting delivery, client management, scope, utilization, and firm-life questions.
- Operational lessons from professional services with no client-confidential detail.
- Specific software or workflow tradeoffs for consultants, framed as practice problems.
- Comments that help a consultant make a decision without selling services.
Avoid
- Market research, surveys, homework help, and free-offer lead magnets.
- Recruiting, interview, and beginner questions outside the megathreads.
- Client-confidential details or identifiable firm material.
- AI-generated business advice that reads like generic consulting theater.
