Search Types
RedShip uses 3 different search methods to find Reddit opportunities. Each serves a different purpose.
SEO Search
Runs every morning to find posts that rank well on Google.
When someone searches for something on Google and finds a Reddit thread, your comment on that post gets seen by search traffic. These opportunities can drive visitors for months or years.
How it works:
- RedShip scans Reddit for posts matching your keywords
- We check which posts appear in Google search results
- Posts are scored based on search traffic potential
- High-value opportunities appear in your inbox
Best for: Evergreen content, long-term traffic, high-intent visitors.
Realtime Search
Monitors Reddit continuously to catch new posts as they’re created.
Be among the first to respond to relevant discussions. Early comments often get more visibility and engagement.
How it works:
- RedShip monitors your configured subreddits in real-time
- New posts matching your keywords are detected within minutes
- Each post is scored by AI for relevance to your product
- You get notified of high-relevance opportunities
Best for: Fresh discussions, time-sensitive opportunities, building presence.
Mentions Search
Tracks keyword mentions in comments, not just posts.
Sometimes the best opportunities are buried in comment threads. Someone might ask “anyone know a good tool for X?” in the comments of an unrelated post.
How it works:
- RedShip scans Reddit comments for your mention keywords
- Matching comments are surfaced to your inbox
- You can jump directly to the comment thread
Best for: Finding hidden opportunities, competitor mentions, direct questions.
