Reddit monitoring for the posts that mention you.

KeywordWatchr searches Reddit every day for your brand, your product or a competitor, and sends each new post to your inbox or to Slack with a direct link to the thread.

What a Reddit alert watches

One alert is one keyword on Reddit, with up to three terms and its own exclusion words.

  • New posts across all of Reddit

    Every new post that contains your keyword, in any subreddit. The comments under a post are not read yet.

  • Narrowed to subreddits

    Limit an alert to the communities your customers are in, such as r/SaaS or r/WordPress. That keeps a common word from flooding your inbox.

  • Exclusion words

    Leave out the posts in which your keyword means something else. A product called Mercury does not need the threads about the planet.

  • All terms, or any of them

    Combine up to three terms. All of them must appear, such as a competitor and “alternative”, or any one of them on Pro and Business.

  • Delivered where you work

    Every match is in your dashboard as soon as it is found. Email digests work on every plan, Slack and webhooks on Pro and Business. Daily delivery is on Pro and Business, weekly and monthly on every plan.
