Search marketers trading tactics, audits, and tool comparisons.
r/SEO is a focused, opinionated community of search marketers. Discussion covers algorithm updates, technical audits, link building, and a steady stream of tool comparison threads.
SEO specialists, agency owners, and founders doing their own SEO — generally hands-on and tool-literate.
~320k members — a large community. Use it as a general-tier sub: high reach, filter hard for intent.
A strong niche sub for SEO, content, and analytics tools. The audience explicitly debates tools and will name budgets and dealbreakers in-thread, which makes intent easy to score. Tool-recommendation threads appear almost daily.
Buying signals to watch forThe sub is wary of tool shilling. Show the working — a real answer with data — before naming anything you are attached to.
