No. Links are automatically removed, and app or brand promotion is high risk.

Rules can change, so Rankhog stores verification dates with each MDX page and keeps the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- No links allowed: Posts or comments with links are automatically removed.
- No work offers: Do not hire, recruit, ask for testers, exchange links, or seek paid or unpaid work.
- Must be related to SEO: Posts need to relate to search engine optimization or a close adjacent topic.
- No spam or self-promotion: Brand awareness, advertising, branded content, news roundups, guides, and self-promotion are high risk.
- No blogs, guides, news, or apps: The subreddit is a Q&A forum, not a blog platform or app promotion surface.
Works well
- Specific SEO questions about indexing, technical issues, content strategy, AI search, architecture, or measurement.
- Context-rich troubleshooting with site type described without dropping a link.
- Operator lessons where the value is in the process, not a branded asset.
- Questions that can be answered publicly without DM or audit requests.
Avoid
- Links, app launches, guides, blog posts, and brand awareness.
- Hiring, tester requests, link exchanges, and DM asks.
- Generic AI SEO commentary with no concrete problem.
- Case-study bait or low-quality repeated questions.
What r/SEO Is For
r/SEO is a high-value community for search operators, site owners, and founders working on visibility. It is not a place to seed links.
What Works On r/SEO
Good posts describe the SEO problem clearly enough that readers can answer without opening your site: platform, page type, crawl issue, SERP behavior, timeline, and what changed.
What To Avoid
Avoid links, product mentions, guides, app launches, link exchange asks, and DM requests. Those patterns conflict with the subreddit purpose.
