Reddit AEO Agent

The answer-engine-optimization agent I built inside Surface Labs' growth platform. It runs a set of target prompts through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude to measure where the brand shows up and whether Reddit gets cited as a source, ranks the coverage gaps, and closes them by generating grounded Reddit comments across 12 subreddits, no product mentions, no links.

Decisions

Measure visibility across models, not one

The agent runs its target prompts through four models via OpenRouter (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude) and records, per model, whether the brand is mentioned and whether Reddit is cited as a source. Each engine retrieves differently, so one number would lie.

Close the gaps, don't guess

Threads and keywords are ranked by prompt-coverage gaps, so effort goes exactly where the brand is missing from AI answers instead of where it already wins.

Earn it on Reddit, credibility first

Comments are grounded in a retrieved knowledge base and written to add value, with no product mentions and no links. Reddit is what the models cite, so the whole strategy depends on being genuinely useful, not on spam.
