AI-Powered Lead Intelligence

How We Score Every Reddit Lead

Every conversation on Reddit is analyzed across multiple dimensions so you know exactly which leads to pursue and which to skip.

What Makes a β€œHot Lead”?

A lead is flagged as HOT when its Lead Gen Score or Engagement Opportunity Score is 7 or above. These are conversations where someone is showing real buying signals and your input would be highly valued. Leads scoring 6 are marked as WARM β€” worth watching but not urgent.

5 Scoring Dimensions. Zero Guesswork.

Each lead is scored 1–10 across five dimensions. Together, they tell you exactly how valuable a conversation is.

Lead Gen Score

How likely this person will convert if you help them authentically. Measures buying signals, urgency, and openness to solutions.

8-10High Intent

Actively looking to buy or try a solution

5-7Medium Intent

Interested but still exploring options

1-4Low Intent

General discussion, not ready to act

Fit Score

How well their problem matches what your product solves. A high fit score means your product is a natural answer to their question.

8-10Perfect Match

Their problem is exactly what you solve

5-7Related

Your product could help, but it's not the core use case

1-4Weak Connection

Tangentially related at best

Engagement Opportunity

How valuable it would be to join this conversation. Considers thread activity, recency, and whether a helpful reply would be welcomed.

8-10Jump In Now

Active thread, high visibility, your input would stand out

5-7Worth Engaging

Decent opportunity, moderate visibility

1-4Low Priority

Old thread or low engagement potential

Relevance Score

How closely the conversation topic matches your tracked keywords and product category.

8-10Direct Match

Conversation is squarely in your domain

5-7Adjacent

Related topic, not a direct keyword hit

1-4Peripheral

Only loosely related to your product

Authenticity Score

How genuine and organic the conversation is. Filters out spam, self-promotion, and bot-generated content so you only engage with real people.

8-10Genuine

Real person with a real problem

5-7Likely Real

Appears authentic, minor signals of noise

1-4Suspicious

Possible spam, bot, or self-promotion

The Buyer Intent Journey

Beyond scores, every lead is classified into one of four intent stages so you can tailor your approach.

Stage 1

πŸ’­ Problem Aware

The person knows they have a problem but hasn't started looking for solutions yet. They're venting, asking questions, or describing frustrations.

Example Post

"My team wastes hours every week manually tracking Reddit threads for leads..."

Stage 2

πŸ” Solution Seeking

They've identified their problem and are actively looking for tools, services, or approaches that could help. Open to suggestions.

Example Post

"What tools do you guys use to monitor Reddit for sales opportunities?"

Stage 3

βš–οΈ Comparing Options

They know solutions exist and are evaluating specific products against each other. Comparing features, pricing, and reviews.

Example Post

"Has anyone tried SubredditSignals vs. doing Reddit lead gen manually? Worth the price?"

Stage 4

πŸ’° Purchase Ready

They've decided to buy and are looking for the final push β€” a discount, a recommendation, or confirmation. These are your hottest leads.

Example Post

"About to sign up for a Reddit lead gen tool. Any coupon codes or tips before I commit?"

How It Works Under the Hood

A look at the process without giving away the secret sauce.

1

We monitor your subreddits in real time

Using the official Reddit API, we continuously scan the communities you've selected for new posts and comments.

2

AI analyzes every conversation

Each post is run through our scoring model which evaluates the text for buying signals, problem-solution fit, engagement quality, and authenticity.

3

Scores and intent stage are assigned

The post receives a 1-10 score across all five dimensions, plus an intent stage classification. High-scoring leads get flagged immediately.

4

You get notified about hot leads

Hot leads surface to the top of your dashboard. You can filter by score, intent stage, or subreddit to focus on exactly what matters.

Default Scoring Thresholds

These are the minimum scores we use to surface leads in your dashboard. Leads below these thresholds are still tracked but won't appear as priorities.

Common Questions

How accurate is the scoring?

Our AI model is trained on thousands of Reddit conversations with verified buyer intent. While no system is perfect, the multi-dimensional approach means you get a nuanced picture rather than a single binary yes/no.

Can I customize the scoring thresholds?

Yes. You can adjust the minimum Lead Gen, Engagement, and Fit scores that determine which leads surface in your dashboard. This lets you tune for volume vs. quality based on your sales capacity.

What's the difference between Lead Gen Score and Fit Score?

Lead Gen Score measures how ready someone is to buy any solution. Fit Score measures how well their specific problem matches your product. A post can have high buying intent (Lead Gen 9) but low fit (Fit 3) if they're shopping for something you don't sell.

How often are leads scored?

Continuously. As new posts and comments appear in your tracked subreddits, they're analyzed and scored in real time. You'll see new leads within minutes of them being posted.

Do you reveal the exact AI prompts or model weights?

No. The scoring methodology is transparent β€” you know exactly what each dimension measures and what the ranges mean. But the specific AI implementation is proprietary to maintain our competitive advantage and prevent gaming.
