The people whose recommendations actually move a purchase are rarely the ones with the biggest followings. On Reddit they are the regulars whose comment sits at the top of every recommendation thread in a niche subreddit, and whose opinion gets quoted back by everyone else.

Reddit is the highest-leverage single channel for influencer discovery, for a reason that has nothing to do with Reddit's own traffic. Nearly 30% of the sources Google and AI cite for buyer questions are Reddit threads, more than every other community site combined. The threads people write there are what Google and AI assistants read back when your buyer asks which tool to use.

OpenScout makes influencer discovery on Reddit practical: it recommends the subreddits, scores every matching conversation for buying intent, and hands you a reply draft written for that specific community.

It also writes original posts for your own subreddits, because replying to other people's threads only reaches the threads that already exist. Setup takes under 5 minutes and starts from your brand URL.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Reddit help with influencer discovery?

Reddit is where people ask for recommendations in public and get honest answers. For influencer discovery, that means you can find the exact threads where someone is describing the problem you solve, rather than guessing at an audience.

Why Reddit rather than every platform at once?

Nearly 30% of the sources Google and AI cite for buyer questions are Reddit threads, more than every other community site combined. Spreading the same effort across four platforms gets you a shallow presence on all of them. Reddit is the one that compounds, because the thread keeps being cited long after you post in it.

How quickly can I start using OpenScout for influencer discovery?

Under 5 minutes. Enter your brand URL, OpenScout analyses what you sell and recommends subreddits and keywords, and the first scored threads appear after the first scan.

Does OpenScout filter out irrelevant threads for influencer discovery?

Yes. Every thread is scored on brand relevance, buying intent, and engagement opportunity, and anything below 20 is hidden. Threads in your industry that are not about your product are deliberately capped, so they cannot crowd out real opportunities.

What does OpenScout cost for influencer discovery?

Starter is $49/month (10 keywords, 10 subreddits, you press post). Autopilot is $99/month (20 keywords, 20 subreddits, Content Engine, and posting done for you). There is a 3-day free trial with Autopilot-level access and no credit card.
