Reddit SEO
A phrase people use for ranking threads in Google or getting cited from Reddit. Half of it is just not being a spammer. The other half is being useful in the right sub.
Doorway threads, vote brigades, and affiliate dumps get you banned and then quoted as a cautionary tale.
Useful comments with a relevant URL, AMAs, and letting customers speak without a script work better.
Examples
- An agency sells “Reddit SEO packages” of 50 seeded posts. The sub bans you. The ban thread becomes the citation.

Reddit citations are when an AI answer points at a thread or comment as evidence. They are one of the loudest unofficial ranking factors in consumer categories.
UGC citations are AI references to forums, reviews, comments, and social posts — the stuff you do not fully control.
