The payoff of doing Reddit right
Get Reddit right, and the AI answers start naming you.
When someone asks AI about your category, it answers from Reddit threads. Show up well there, and your brand is the one it names.

By name
AI answers cite Reddit threads by name, not just scraped content, making a credible Reddit presence directly visible in AI responses.

When your buyer asks AI about your category, the answer is built from Reddit threads. A managed presence makes sure your brand is in them.
The work you can't outsource to a tool
Three patterns we see most often.
“You post, and it gets removed or downvoted.”
New accounts and obvious self-promotion get flagged fast. Without warm-up and the right approach, your effort disappears.
“Your competitors are in the threads, you are not.”
The subreddits your buyers trust are already recommending someone. It should be you.
“You do not have time to build trust the slow way.”
Reddit rewards consistent, genuine participation over weeks. That is a job, and it is the job we do for you.
How we keep your account safe and growing
Growth that keeps your account in good standing.
- 1
Warm-up first
New or quiet accounts get flagged fast. We build genuine karma and history before the account ever mentions your brand.
- 2
Engage as a credible voice
We post and comment at a human, mod-friendly pace in the subreddits your buyers read. No spam, no bought upvotes, no bursts.
- 3
Grow your community
We build the communities around your brand, from active participation in the right subreddits to standing up your own.
- 4
Report, with a shadowban check
Every month: activity, engagement, community growth, and a check that your content is actually visible. No vanity numbers.
Where we focus
Managed Reddit growth for brands serious about growth.
We work with SaaS, tech, ecommerce, and founders, and we go especially deep in these industries:
B2B SaaS
Your buyers compare tools in r/SaaS and r/startups before they ever hit your pricing page. We make sure your product is the one the thread, and the AI answer, recommends.
See how it worksDeveloper Tools
Developers vet your tool in r/programming and r/webdev, not on your landing page. We build a credible presence where they actually decide, on a mod-friendly cadence.
See how it worksCybersecurity & IT/MSP
Security and MSP buyers ask r/cybersecurity, r/sysadmin, and r/msp who to trust. We earn your product a real voice in those rooms, safely and disclosed where required.
See how it worksLaw Firms
Personal injury, family, immigration. When someone asks AI for the best lawyer in your city, be the firm it names.
See how it worksAI & ML Tools
Practitioners in r/MachineLearning and r/LocalLLaMA cut through AI hype with real usage reports. We help your tool show up there honestly, so the AI answers cite it too.
See how it worksEcommerce & DTC
Founders and operators swap stack recommendations in r/ecommerce and r/shopify daily. We put your brand in those conversations on a safe, sustainable cadence.
See how it worksAesthetic Medicine
Med spas, plastic surgery, dermatology. Patients check RealSelf and AI before booking a consult.
See how it worksDental Practices
General, family, cosmetic, and implant dentistry. Patients ask AI for the best dentist near them before booking.

About
Born in Dallas. Eight years in agency-land, then four years inside AT&T. The operator’s view of reputation, from both sides.
I started in agency-land at Edelman Dallas straight out of SMU. Spent four years there learning how reputation actually breaks, and how it gets repaired. Moved to FleishmanHillard for the senior-IC track, then went in-house at AT&T in 2019 to run brand reputation strategy from the buyer seat.
Four years at AT&T HQ taught me something agencies rarely see: the operational reality of a Fortune 10 company stacking trust signals against the volume of customer-experience friction every day. I watched the same patterns I’d advised on from outside play out internally. SMBs and mid-market businesses getting hammered by review systems they didn’t understand, with no one giving them straightforward advice.
I founded Reyes Reputation Strategy in 2023 to be that someone. As discovery shifted hard toward AI answers, I followed the trail to where those answers actually come from: Reddit. The AI tools lean on real community discussion far more than anything a brand publishes about itself, so the work became managing and growing brands’ Reddit presence the right way. Get that right and the payoff follows: your brand earns trust in the threads buyers read, and the AI answers start citing you.
That reputation background is exactly why we do Reddit the safe way: real participation, no shortcuts, accounts kept in good standing.
“I’d rather you earn ten honest mentions in the threads your buyers trust than buy a hundred fake brand mentions, comments, and upvotes.
Earned trust compounds. Everything else evaporates.”
FAQ
Questions buyers ask before
getting started.
Will my account get banned?
Not if it is done right. We warm accounts up, keep a safe, sustainable, mod-friendly cadence, never buy upvotes or spam, and run shadowban checks. Account safety is the core of how we work.
Do you post on my account or a new one?
Either, and the choice is mostly about safety. If we manage your existing account, we work from a location-matched setup or have you do the posting, because a sudden new login location on an established account can trigger Reddit's security and lock it. Often the safest option is a dedicated or official brand account we run end to end. We pick the right route with you on the call.
How fast will I see results?
Reddit rewards patience. Warm-up comes first, meaningful presence builds over weeks, and AI-citation lift typically shows over a few months. We report progress monthly.
What do you deliver each month?
A safe cadence of genuine posts and comments in your target subreddits, community growth, and a monthly report on activity, engagement, and AI-visibility checks. Real, sustainable growth, not guaranteed karma numbers.
Is this compliant and ethical?
Yes. We follow each subreddit's rules and disclose where required. No fake accounts coordinated to deceive, no bought votes. Genuine value is both the safe path and what actually works.
