Can I promote a PPC tool in r/PPC?
It is risky. The community removes spammy tool and service posts, so any mention needs to be disclosed and directly relevant to a specific problem.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- No spam: Agency, freelancer, tool, and service promotion can be removed as spam, especially with URL shorteners.
- No low-quality posts: Low-quality tool posts, surveys, and vague requests are removed.
- Keep titles clean and specific: Titles should be clear, professional, and specific to the PPC issue.
- Use approved formats for special posts: AMAs, coupons, personal information, and course questions have strict limits or dedicated places.
Works well
- Specific Google Ads, Meta Ads, Microsoft Ads, or Amazon Ads troubleshooting questions.
- Campaign diagnostics with budget, objective, bidding, audience, and conversion context.
- Performance lessons that explain what changed and what the data showed.
- Helpful comparisons of ad workflows, measurement tradeoffs, or platform behavior.
Avoid
- Agency lead generation, tool launches, surveys, and thin product research.
- Vague posts like asking why ads are not working with no account context.
- Coupon posts, URL shorteners, or personal account details.
- Pitching a PPC tool before answering the operator's actual question.
