Reddit Ads allow you to advertise to an engaged community 💥
Advertising on Reddit is like joining a conversation with a group of friends who are super passionate about their interests. In fact, that’s exactly what it is. Reddit is full of subreddits, each buzzing with people (potential customers) talking about absolutely everything (26 billion posts and comments, and counting), from technology and gardening tips to which local tradie to call. Showing up in these spaces with a relevant product or service is a no-brainer.
Reddit users generally aren’t just casual browsers. If they’re in the subreddit, they’re usually pretty engaged with the topic. By targeting these niche communities with hand-crafted and cleverly delivered ads, you can drive traffic to your website from people who already care about what you do.
Show up where your audience is looking 👀
Think about your target audience. They’re probably already there in a specific corner of Reddit, talking about stuff they need answers or solutions for. And with Reddit Ads, you can slide right into these conversations, like a local who knows exactly what the answer or solution is.
Reddit is different to traditional advertising, like a random billboard on the side of the road. It’s a platform driven by niche communities. When it comes to advertising on Reddit, we pick the specific subreddits your customers hang out in, so you show up exactly where your audience is looking.
Why Reddit is worth a look right now 🔍
Search “best” just about anything on Google, and you’ll more than likely find a Reddit thread near the top. It’s also become one of the most-cited sources in AI search, popping up constantly in tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews.
Basically, people don’t just want to hear what a brand has to say. According to Reddit, people are 46% more likely to trust a brand because it’s advertised on Reddit rather than on other sites. Reddit is where more than 130 million people a day go to compare notes and ask “has anyone actually tried this?” before they’ve made up their mind. The Reddit audience is in research mode, which makes it a brilliant place to build awareness and trust well before someone’s ready to enquire.
How we run your Reddit campaigns 🚀
Reddit is terrific (when it’s done right). But it’s also the one place on the internet where a lazy ad gets ripped to shreds in the comments. Communities here are full of industry experts and die-hard hobbyists who can spot a marketer from a mile away.
Clarify your ideal customer
Get this right, and the rest gets a whole lot easier. We get to know your perfect type of customer and what they’re talking about online, so that not a dollar of your budget is wasted on the wrong crowd.
Find the right communities
This is where subreddit targeting comes in. We research where your customers already hang out, how active each community is, what gets talked about there, and what gets downvoted.
Layer in the right targeting
Communities are just the start. Reddit’s targeting options also include interests, keywords, location and device, plus retargeting for people who’ve already visited your website. We mix and match your audience targeting to balance reach with relevance.
Write ads that sound like Reddit
Redditors don’t love being sold to. Our copywriters and designers create ad copy and creative that feels like it belongs in the feed: helpful, upfront and a little bit human.
Track what matters
Before anything goes live, we set up conversion tracking on your website. That way we’re measuring leads and sales.
Test, tweak and manage
We test different communities, creative and offers to see what works best, then shift your budget towards the winners. We also keep an eye on the comments under your ads, because good community engagement can make a campaign (and ignoring it can break one).
Report back in plain English
You’ll always know how things are going. Your account manager will talk you through what’s working, what could be better and what we’re doing next, without all the marketing buzzwords.
Businesses big & small can thrive with Reddit Ads 💼
Small businesses appreciate the cost-effectiveness of Reddit marketing and the ability to hone in on these specific interests and communities. With Reddit, your content is seen by the exact right audience, making every dollar you spend on advertising count. Bigger businesses, on the other hand, are drawn to Reddit for its massive reach and the opportunity to boost brand recognition with an audience that is usually pretty diverse.
Reddit offers data-driven insights, too. This allows businesses to tailor their campaigns with precision. Plus, the platform offers a variety of ad formats, including video and text-based options, catering to different content strategies. This versatility makes Reddit an excellent choice for loads of businesses, from startups looking to make a big impact with limited resources to major brands who just want to boost brand recognition.

Frequently asked questions
Do Redditors actually respond to ads?
They do, as long as the ad earns its spot. Redditors are famously allergic to a hard sell, but they’ll happily click on something that’s relevant to the community they’re in and upfront about what it is. That’s why we write for each community, rather than recycling your Facebook creative and hoping for the best.
What kinds of businesses do well on Reddit?
Anything people like to research before they buy. Software, tech, finance, health, education, eCommerce and hobby brands all tend to do well. Local services can work too, especially in city-based communities.
If your customers need you right this second (think a burst pipe at 2am), Google Ads will usually be the better bet. We’ll be upfront about that.
What if people leave negative comments on my ad?
It can happen (it’s Reddit, after all). We keep an eye on the comments and flag anything that needs a response from you. A helpful, honest reply often does more for your brand than the ad itself. And if comments aren’t right for your campaign, we can simply switch them off.
Will Reddit Ads help my SEO or get me mentioned in AI search?
Not directly. Paid ads don’t influence organic rankings or AI answers, which lean on genuine discussion between real people. What ads can do is get your brand known in the communities where those conversations are happening. If showing up in AI search is the goal, have a chat with us about AI SEO as well.
Can I have access to the account myself?
Yes, ultimately, it is your account. We just ask that you don’t change anything without checking with us first. You’d be surprised by the tiny details that make a big impact on a campaign. If there’s ever something you want to look at or ask about, let us know. We’re always happy to help!
