Intent > Keywords: Turn Reddit threads into pipeline in 30 minutes a day

  If you’re building or selling a SaaS, Reddit already has warm prospects asking the exact questions your product solves. The problem isn’t finding them—it’s catching them in time, responding authentically, and turning those moments into demos, trials, and revenue.
