Add or edit keywords

You can accept the suggestions, add your own, or tweak them. Think about phrases your ideal customer would search for when they have a problem you solve.

Choose platforms

Select which platforms to monitor: Reddit, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Quora, or Threads. (Availability depends on your plan.)

Pick a plan

Start with Free (Reddit + X/Twitter, 5 keywords, 10 leads/month) or upgrade to Starter/Growth/Scale for more platforms and volume.
