Reddit Post Monitoring Guide

Welcome to the setup guide for configuring your product in the IdeaHunt platform. This feature is designed to help you monitor and analyze relevant posts on Reddit that are aligned with your brand or product. By completing the following settings, you’ll be able to receive a relevance score based on how well a post aligns with your business or idea.

The setup is divided into four main sections:

1. Product Name and Description
2. Evaluation Rules
3. Subreddits
4. Notification Settings
5. Lead Management Interface

In this section, we will guide you step-by-step on how to fill in the Product Details fields, save them, and understand the process of automatic keyword generation based on your product description.

Input Product Name

1. Locate the Name field at the top of the page.
2. Enter your product or brand name. For example:Paws & Play

Write a Product Description

In the Description field, write a detailed description of your product or service. Include Product or Service Description, Use Cases, and Keywords (Although we will generate some keywords based on your input, we would highly recommend you add your own keywords for reference.).

Product or Service Description

Provide a detailed description of your product or service, including key features, benefits, and target users. Ensure the description is comprehensive and contains at least 250 characters.

Use Cases

Describe specific use cases where the product or service can be applied. Include scenarios that showcase how it meets the needs of users and solves their problems.

Keywords

List relevant keywords associated with your product or service to help improve search engine optimization (SEO) and ensure it reaches the right audience.

Example for Paws & Play:

Ensure the description contains at least 250 characters. The platform will prompt you if the text is too short.

Save Your Inputs

1. After filling in the Name and Description fields, click the Save button at the bottom of the page.
2. The system will validate your inputs. If any required field is incomplete or the description is under 250 characters, an error message will appear.

Automatic Keyword Generation

1. Upon saving, the system will automatically extract keywords from your product description.
2. These keywords will be displayed below the Description field, under the Keywords section.
3. Example generated keywords for Paws & Play: Paws & Play, interactive toys, pets, fetching, chewing, solving puzzles, durable materials, pet-safe, playful pups, curious cats, bond with pets, physical well-being, mental well-being, engaging toys, innovative toys.
4. These keywords will be used by the system to analyze Reddit posts and determine their relevance to your product.

How Automatic Keyword Generation Works

When you save your product description, the system generates keywords based on the information you provide. These keywords play a crucial role in determining how well Reddit posts match your product. Here’s how it works:

• Keyword Matching: The system analyzes Reddit posts and your generated keywords, creating a “profile” for each using advanced calculations.
• Relevance Calculation: The system compares these profiles to see how closely they align. If the match is strong enough (above 40%), the post is flagged as relevant.
• Why It Matters: The accuracy of these keywords directly impacts how well the system identifies relevant Reddit posts. While most cases work well, occasionally some posts might be missed if the keywords don’t align perfectly.

Verify and Adjust

1. Review the generated keywords to ensure they align with your brand’s focus.
2. If the keywords don’t match your expectations, consider refining your product description to better reflect the key attributes of your product.

Evaluation rules are essential for determining whether a Reddit post is relevant to your product. These rules guide the system to flag posts based on specific criteria, ensuring you focus on the most relevant leads. You can add up to 10 rules, but we recommend starting with 3-5 well-defined rules.

How to Add Rules

Rule Format

Use placeholders such as {input.post} for the post content.

Example: “Does the {input.post} explicitly mention a perticular user case that suit my product and service?”

Define Your Criteria

Focus on posts that:

• Mention challenges your product solves.
• Explicitly request recommendations.
• Highlight scenarios where your product is a perfect fit.

Recommended Rules for “Paws & Play”

To ensure accurate results, we recommend focusing on clear and specific questions that relate to key discussion scenarios derived from your product’s description. The AI will help generate these questions based on your use cases during onboarding. Below are some examples:

Ask Specific Questions

Use clear questions to identify whether a Reddit post matches your target audience. For example:

• Does the {input.post} explicitly mention the need for cat or dog toy recommendations?
• Does the {input.post} describe an issue with destructive chewing for pets?
• Does the {input.post} highlight a need for mental stimulation for pets

Iterate to Remove Distractions

Review and refine your rules to filter out irrelevant content. For instance, if certain posts mention generic toys but aren’t relevant to your use case, adjust your rules to focus on more specific criteria.

How It Works

The system flags a post as HIGH_RELEVANT if it satisfies at least one of your configured rules. By iterating and refining your rules, you can ensure a higher precision in identifying relevant leads while minimizing noise.

Steps to Save Your Rules

• Fill in the rules fields with your customized criteria.
• Click “Save” at the bottom of the page to finalize.
• Review the system’s performance after adding rules and refine them if necessary.

In this step, you will manually select specific subreddits for IdeaHunt to track. The platform will analyze posts from these communities and evaluate them against your product description to help you identify potential leads.

How to Add Subreddits

1. Click the “+ Add Subreddit” button.

2. Enter the name of a subreddit you want to monitor, such as:

• r/dogs: For general discussions about dogs and their care.
• r/puppytraining: For training-related tips and products.
• r/pets: For broader pet-related topics and advice.
• r/petstore: For discussions about purchasing pet supplies.

3. Add multiple subreddits as needed to expand your reach across relevant communities.

Saving Your Selection

Once you’ve added all the subreddits you want to track, click the “Save” button.

IdeaHunt will begin monitoring the selected subreddits and analyzing new posts against your product description.

In this step, the relevance of notifications is directly tied to the rules you configured earlier. When a Reddit post meets your rules, the platform evaluates its relevance based on how many rules it satisfies. You can then set a threshold to decide when you want to receive notifications.

How Relevance is Calculated

The system checks how many of your configured rules (e.g., 5 rules) a post satisfies.

Relevance is determined by the proportion of rules a post matches:

• High: If a post satisfies any one of the rules completely, it will be classified as High.
• Normal: If a post does not fully meet any rule but shows partial alignment with the criteria, it will be classified as Normal.
• Low: The post satisfies few or minimal rules (e.g., 1 out of 5).

Setting Up Notifications

Toggle the “Enabled” button to activate email alerts.

Provide the email address where you wish to receive notifications (e.g., yourname@example.com).

If you haven’t received emails for an extended period, it’s possible that your email provider has blacklisted our current mailing software. Please contact us promptly at beau.hu@innohunts.com, and we will provide alternative methods for sending emails

Once you’ve completed the first four steps, relevant Reddit posts that align with your product description and evaluation rules will start appearing in your Lead Management Interface. This is where you can efficiently review, analyze, and engage with these posts.

Overview of the Interface

• A list of Reddit posts with their title, subreddit, and posting time.
• Each post is assigned a Relevance Score (e.g., High, Low, Normal) based on how many of your rules it satisfies.

Relevance Filters

Use the Filter by Relevance option to focus on posts with a specific relevance level (e.g., High for actionable leads).

Subreddit Filters

Narrow your search to specific subreddits for posts relevant to your business.
