Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.

Rule summary

  • Posts with URLs will need review: URLs are monitored and will require approval. To make sure your post gets seen, please ask your question without a URL if possible.
  • AI‑generated ads or low‑effort AI content: Anything reported will be reviewed, especially posts clearly created to farm karma, promote products, or mislead users.
  • Content Quality & Organization: Try to flair posts correctly or encourage others to do so, keeping the subreddit organized

Works well

  • A plain text question about a specific marketing problem, like how to improve email open rates, with no link anywhere in the post
  • A request for feedback on a campaign idea where you describe the campaign in words instead of linking to it
  • A question about automating a marketing task with AI agents, since the description names this as a core topic
  • A post with the correct flair matching your topic, such as SEO, PPC, or analytics, so organized readers can find it
  • A follow up post where you share what you learned after asking here, still without dropping a URL

Avoid

  • Posting any URL in your post, because links require moderator approval before your post is seen
  • Publishing AI generated ads, which the rules single out for review
  • Low effort AI content, especially anything that looks like karma farming
  • Posts that promote your product, since reported promotion gets reviewed
  • Misleading content of any kind, which the rules say gets reviewed
  • Forgetting to flair your post, which works against the community's organization rule

What r/MarketingHelp Is For

This community is a help desk for marketing questions. People come here to ask for advice on digital marketing, creative campaigns, social media, media buying, PPC, content, email, lead generation, SEO, influencer marketing, product marketing, websites, design, UX, CX, CRO, and analytics. It also covers automating marketing work with AI agents and AI tools. The description says questions are welcome, so the room is built around asking and answering, not around showing off.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

Three rules decide whether your post survives here. “Posts with URLs will need review” means any post containing a link goes into a moderation queue and needs approval before people see it. “AI‑generated ads or low‑effort AI content” means anything that looks like karma farming, product promotion, or misleading content gets reviewed, especially if someone reports it. “Content Quality & Organization” asks you to flair your posts correctly so the subreddit stays organized.

What To Post

A good post here is a genuine question or a request for help, written in your own words, with no link in the post. If you want feedback on a landing page or a campaign, describe it clearly and ask people if they need to see it, rather than dropping a URL. Pick the flair that matches your topic, like SEO or email or PPC, so your post lands in the right mental shelf for readers. If you are a founder, the respectful move is to ask about a real problem you are solving, not to pitch your product.

What To Avoid

Do not post links, because URLs need moderator approval and your post can sit unseen in the review queue. Do not post AI generated ads or low effort AI content, because reported posts get reviewed and anything built to farm karma, promote products, or mislead users is at risk. Do not skip the flair, because the community explicitly asks for correct flairs to stay organized.

Common questions about r/MarketingHelp

Can I include a link to my site so people can review it?

You can, but the rules say posts with URLs need review and approval, so the community's own advice is to ask your question without a URL if possible.

Can I use AI to help write my post?

The rules target AI generated ads and low effort AI content, so write your post yourself and keep it substantive rather than automated filler.

Do I need to pick a flair?

Yes, the Content Quality & Organization rule asks you to flair posts correctly to keep the subreddit organized.

Is this a good place to announce my marketing tool?

No, the rules say posts created to promote products will be reviewed, especially if reported, so this is a place to ask for help, not to launch.

What topics are on topic here?

The description covers digital marketing broadly, including campaigns, social media, media buying, PPC, content, email, lead generation, SEO, influencer marketing, product marketing, website work, design, UX, CX, CRO, analytics, and automation with AI agents.
