RedditGrow

👋 First, who I am

Hey, I'm Victor, founder of RedditGrow.

I'm a solo, non-technical founder who got tired of two things: cold outreach that everyone ignores, and "growth hacks" that get your Reddit account banned in 48 hours.

So I went the other way. Instead of interrupting strangers, I started replying to people who were already asking for a product like mine — publicly, on Reddit. It worked so much better than cold email that I built the whole system into a tool, and then plugged it straight into Claude.

This is the exact system I use to get traffic and citations in google and LLms. No theory — just the playbook, the prompts, and the setup. Steal all of it. 👇

Why this works

You already use Claude every day. What if it could also find your next customers?

Every day, thousands of people post on Reddit asking "what tool should I use for X?", "how do you solve Y?", "alternatives to [competitor]?". These are buyers in buying mode — describing their problem and publicly asking for help.

The catch: it's impossible to monitor all of Reddit by hand, and one wrong salesy reply gets you banned.

By connecting RedditGrow as a connector, Claude (Opus 4.8) can find those threads, draft authentic replies in your voice, and keep your account safe — all from a normal conversation. No new dashboard to learn. You just talk to Claude.

🧩 The 4-Step System

Step 1 — Find buyers who are already asking

Stop guessing where your customers are. Just ask Claude:

💬 "Find today's highest-intent Reddit threads for my product."

Claude scores every post by buying intent — someone asking for a recommendation beats someone just venting — and hands you only the threads worth your time.

⚙️ Runs: find_opportunities · search_reddit_live · discover_subreddits

Step 2 — Draft replies that get upvoted, not removed

💬 "Draft a reply to this thread in my voice."

Claude writes a reply that helps first and mentions your product like a human would — no banned words, no "Check out my SaaS!". It even learns from your replies that worked. You approve before anything goes out.

⚙️ Runs: generate_response · generate_response_variants · get_my_winning_patterns

Step 3 — Post safely (this is what keeps your account alive)

New Reddit accounts get banned fast. So before posting, just ask:

💬 "Is my account safe to post right now? When's the best time?"

Claude checks your account health, warms it up in phases, respects daily limits, and posts with human-like timing — so you build karma and trust instead of shadowbans.

⚙️ Runs: get_account_health · get_warmup_status · get_best_times

Step 4 — Compound it: become the answer everywhere

Every helpful reply is a permanent, searchable asset. Ask Claude:

💬 "Where am I showing up in AI answers and search for my keywords?"

Your replies rank in Google and get cited by ChatGPT / Perplexity when people ask AI for recommendations. You're not getting one lead — you're becoming the default answer.

⚙️ Runs: check_ai_visibility · get_seo_opportunities · get_llm_citation_trend

⚙️ Setup in 10 minutes

1. Add RedditGrow as a connector in Claude. In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the RedditGrow URL, and authorize. That's it — no config files, no code.

   🔗 RedditGrow connector URL → [link]

   

2. Tell Claude what you sell. It reads your landing page and finds your subreddits automatically:

   💬 "Set up my project from [your-landing-page-url]." → runs setup_project_from_landing

3. Connect your Reddit account (your own account, OAuth — you stay in control).

4. Run your first cycle:

   💬 "Find today's highest-intent Reddit threads and draft replies I can approve."

5. Review → approve → post. Repeat daily. It takes ~10 minutes.

💡 Pro move: ask Claude "give me my Reddit growth roadmap for this week" and it plans the whole thing for you (get_week_roadmap).

Built by @victor_bigfield + RedditGrow

most founders treat competitors like enemies. that's a mistake.

i've been on monthly calls with a guy building almost the exact same product as me. Redditgrow.ai for me and .... (no citation now, I wait the end of the challenge) same features, same target market, same problems. and instead of ignoring each other or talking trash, we share everything. what's working, what's not, where we're stuck.

we even made a bet. whoever has less mrr at the end of may has to publicly promote the other's product. no prize money, no contract. just pride on the line.

and tbh that single bet has done more for my motivation than any productivity hack i've tried.

here's what i think people get wrong: your real competition isn't the guy building the same thing as you. it's the market not knowing your category exists yet. when there's only two of us solving the same problem, we're both better off if the space grows. a rising tide and all that.

but also, the guy building the same thing as you is the only person who actually understands your specific problems. your friends don't get it. your users only see the surface. this competitor knows exactly why you're losing deals and where your positioning is weak, because he's facing the same stuff.

we've caught each other's blind spots more than once.

the bet keeps it competitive enough that neither of us gets lazy. but the calls keep it honest. it's a weird dynamic and i wouldn't have predicted it working.

curious if anyone else has done something like this, or if you think i'm setting myself up to get played

Most people treat Reddit like LinkedIn. They show up, post their thing, blast DMs, and wonder why they get banned.

I've been on Reddit for five years. That's how I found my first users. And I still watch people make the same mistakes over and over.

So I built a free audience finder. You describe your product and it shows you the subreddits where your actual audience is. That's it. No account needed, no setup. A cat could do it.

The reason I built it is kind of annoying tbh. I kept seeing founders post in completely wrong subreddits, get flagged by mods, and then wonder why Reddit "doesn't work." It's not Reddit. It's that you're fishing in the wrong lake and also you're using dynamite.

The Back to the Future problem is real. People think they're finding leads, but they're actually finding moderators who quietly shadowban them. Your posts get zero visibility and you have no idea why.

And the worst part? The fix is genuinely simple. Find the right communities first. Then warm up. Then engage like a human. In that order.

The tool is free and here

Fwiw if you want to go further and not get your account nuked, I've also put together a personalized roadmap on the main site. But start with the free tool, see what comes up for your product, and tell me if the results make sense.

1 - open redditgrow.ai
2 - drop product url
3 - click on opportunity

4 - generate safe and engaging response

5 - post on reddit

6 - check seo opportunities

7 - generate SEO safe and engaging response

8 - post on reddit

9 - collect leads and traffic on google and llms

Thats all how use redditgrow.ai to rank on google, llm and get leads

Quick context:

I built Redditgrow.ai , a tool that helps people use Reddit for lead gen and SEO without getting banned. Launched a month ago. Just hit $1K MRR. Solo, bootstrapped.

Started from zero. Small waitlist, no paying users, no audience to speak of. Built it because I was tired of solving the same problem manually.

What worked:

Reddit itself, used correctly. Not spamming, not mass DMs. Building authority first, engaging where it actually made sense. I’ve been on Reddit for 5 years and I know how this place works. Most people building “Reddit growth tools” get banned before they see a single conversion because they treat it like LinkedIn.

Two pricing tiers from day one: $29/month subscription, or $37 one-time for people who want to test without committing. Both require a card. No free tier, no free trial.

That last point is the one I want to talk about.

What didn’t work: the free trial.

I had one initially. It was a disaster.
It brought in curious people with zero intent to pay. A few signed up just to screenshot the product.

My support queue exploded with questions from users who were never going to convert.

And a specific chunk of trial users treated it as a permanent free tool and churned on day 14 like clockwork.

The free trial wasn’t a funnel. It was a magnet for the wrong people.

I killed it. Replaced it with the $37 one-time option for “just want to try it” people. Same value prop, but skin in the game.

Result: fewer signups, way more revenue per signup, and my inbox is quiet again.

I’d rather have 30 customers at $29 than 300 free users clogging my support.

What I’m still figuring out:

• Whether the $37 one-time is leaving money on the table (some of those people would probably pay monthly)

• How to scale lead acquisition without burning my Reddit reputation

• When to raise prices (probably soon)

Anyone else here removed their free trial? Curious if you saw the same thing or if my experience is an outlier
