Reddit visibility audit: see your AI citation footprint across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
A three-week diagnostic I run across Reddit and the four AI engines your buyers actually use. You'll see exactly where your brand is mentioned, what your competitors are getting credit for, and which threads are doing the citing. The starting point for any generative engine optimization (GEO) or LLM SEO program.
Who this is for
SaaS, tech, and service-brand founders or heads of marketing who suspect their brand is invisible in AI answers, can't reliably explain why, and want a data set before committing to a GEO or AI search optimization program.
What's included
- Reddit footprint map: every mention of your brand across all subreddits, scored on context quality and reach
- Competitor benchmark: same data set for the top 3 to 5 competitors in your category
- AI citation tests across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, with a documented prompt set built around your buyer's actual research questions
- Source attribution: which Reddit threads are driving the citations you and your competitors are getting
- Gap analysis: where your competitors appear, you don't, and the underlying threads that explain it
- Prioritized opportunities: subreddits worth operating on, threads worth contributing to, content gaps worth filling
- Executive summary plus the raw data so your team can replicate the tests monthly
Process and timeline
- Week 1: Kickoff, prompt-set design, competitor list lock, subreddit candidate list.
- Week 2: Reddit data pull, AI citation tests across all four engines, source attribution.
- Week 3: Gap analysis, opportunity prioritization, report writing, delivery call.
Frequently asked
Is this an SEO audit?
No. Traditional SEO audits look at on-site signals and Google rankings. This audit looks at the off-site shelf: which Reddit threads exist for your category, how your brand is described in them (if at all), what ChatGPT and Perplexity and Google AI Overviews say when prompted with your category and competitor queries, and where the gap between your AI visibility and your competitors' visibility actually lives.
How is this related to generative engine optimization (GEO)?
The Reddit visibility audit is the standard diagnostic that opens every generative engine optimization program. You can't optimize for AI engines until you know where you appear, where your competitors appear, and what the underlying source threads say. The audit produces the data set. The subreddit strategy and discussion ops services act on it.
Which AI engines do you test?
ChatGPT (free + paid), Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Same prompt set across all four so the results are comparable. Bing Copilot is included on request. We don't test region-locked engines or paid enterprise variants unless your buyers actually use them.
