People don’t trust search results anymore.

That’s why everyone has started adding ‘reddit’ to their Google searches:

  1. “Best coffee maker reddit”

  2. “Dropbox alternatives reddit”

  3. “Is Grammarly worth it reddit”

People are using “+reddit” to bypass marketing and SEO garbage to find what real humans actually think. Are you doing it too?

The numbers are absolutely insane 👀

Google itself admitted this trend is real: In 2023, they updated their algorithm to prioritize forum discussions. Translation: they know people want real opinions, not polished marketing.

Reddit is now the #3 most visible domain on Google (after Amazon and Wikipedia).

And people actually BUY what they see:

73% of Reddit users make faster purchase decisions based on what they read on Reddit. Compare that to TikTok or IG - people trust random Reddit strangers more than influencers.

This is a huge marketing opportunity.

Five ways to appear in every “+reddit” search (without being that guy) ✨

Now, here’s the truth:

When someone searches “best [something] reddit” → they are actively looking for product recommendations. If your product gets mentioned positively in these threads, you’ve just won the entire SEO game.

Let’s get into exactly how to make this happen. I’ll be covering:
