No upfront fees. You pay only after removal. How it works
Reputation
Most Reddit problems are cheaper to handle on day one than on day sixty. Monitoring is how you get day one.
No upfront fees. You pay only after removal.
This is for you if
You want early warning on posts about your brand or founders.
You have had a Reddit issue and want to catch a repeat.
You need a report on Reddit sentiment for leadership.
You are launching something and expect scrutiny.
How Reddit handles this
Reddit gets nearly 6 billion new pieces of content in six months across a huge number of communities, and 841,314 new communities were created in the second half of 2024 alone. A mention can appear anywhere. The earlier you see a post about you, the more options you have: a report while it is small, a reply while it is fresh, a correction before it is quoted elsewhere.
Search Google for your name or brand with site:reddit.com. Set a Google Alert for the same query. Use Reddit's own search, filtered by "new", for your brand, your founders' names and common misspellings. Check the communities where your industry is discussed. That alone catches a lot, and it is worth doing whether or not you hire anyone.
Consistency (someone actually checks), breadth (name variants, products, executives, domains), triage (what breaks a rule and what is fair comment), and a prepared response. Monitoring finds and reports; it does not stop people posting, and it does not guarantee removal of what it finds. When something does break a rule, it becomes a removal case.
How we handle it
Names, brands, products, common misspellings and the communities where they are likely to appear.
Ongoing tracking of new posts and comments.
Violations are reported straight away. Everything else is logged for your decision.
A regular summary: what appeared, what was actioned, what to watch.
Each action on your case is recorded with its date. You can read the log at any time in your client portal, and reply to us there.
The rulebook
Monitoring finds content early. These are the two rules that cover what we most often alert on.
Alerts help you spot abusive content about you early, so it can be reported before it has been widely shared.
Monitoring can catch posts that expose your details, such as a business or home address, before they are copied elsewhere.
Paraphrased from the official Reddit Rules. Moderators also enforce each community's own rules, under Reddit's Moderator Code of Conduct.
By the numbers
The volume of new content and communities is why manual checking does not work.
~6 billion
pieces of content posted in six months
Moderators and admins removed 2.66% of it: 1.42% by moderators and 1.24% by admins.

Legal background
Regulation · United States (Federal Trade Commission) · 2024
16 CFR Part 465
Effective October 21, 2024, the rule prohibits fake or false consumer reviews and testimonials, buying or conditioning reviews, undisclosed insider reviews, and review suppression through threats or intimidation. Courts can impose civil penalties for knowing violations.
Why it matters here: It cuts both ways: a business cannot seed fake praise, and it should not threaten reviewers to silence them. Honest evidence of a fake review is a legitimate basis for a report.
Statute · United States · 2016
15 U.S.C. § 45b
Makes void any provision of a standard-form consumer contract that prohibits or penalises honest consumer reviews, or that takes ownership of the reviewer's rights in a review. The FTC and state attorneys general can enforce it. It took effect in March 2017.
Why it matters here: A business cannot use "non-disparagement" clauses in form contracts to silence honest customers. It also confirms that honest criticism is protected activity, not content to be suppressed.
Real public cases
A documented public event. It is not one of our clients.

The outcome
New mentions that matter reach you before they are widely shared.
Each alert includes the link, what it says and whether it looks reportable.
Anything reportable can become a case with one reply, without starting from zero.
Before you do anything
Manual searches miss new communities and deleted-and-reposted content.
Every mention is not a problem. A filter tells you what is worth your time.
By then the post has often been seen, copied and shared.

Monitoring finds content. Where something breaks a rule, we can pursue removal as a separate case.
