( 01 ) Why Reddit marketing

Reddit posts show up in
Google and in AI answers.

Travelers from overseas look at other people's experiences when they research stays and tours. They search Reddit directly, or they read Reddit posts that appear in Google search and AI answers.

01

They look
up reviews
on Reddit

Reddit users post their experiences and questions about stays and tours. You can see what customers wonder about and what they compare.

02

Reddit posts
appear in
Google search

People searching for information often end up reading a Reddit post. We write titles and posts in concrete terms so the person searching can follow them.

03

AI answers
cite Reddit
posts

ChatGPT and Perplexity can use Reddit posts as sources in their search answers. Whether a post is cited depends on the question and the search results.

( 02 ) What customers look for

Can people find your stay or tour
on Reddit?

Hotels · StaysTours · ActivitiesTransit · PassesShoppingRegional travel

Customers researching stays and tours
need to find the information they are after.
We read the related questions and existing posts
to see what information is missing.

Review existing posts

We search your brand name and related topics to see which posts come up and whether the information is accurate.

Review customer questions

We read posts where people compare similar products or services, and find questions that have not been answered well.

Keep information current

We answer new questions and update information that has changed. Even a published post keeps getting checked for comments and replies.

( 02+ ) What to watch for

Every Reddit community
runs by its own rules.

Before posting, you have to check whether promotion is allowed and what the account needs to qualify. Breaking the rules can get a post removed or an account's activity limited.

RISK 01

Running several accounts

Duplicate promotion or manipulation across several accounts can lead to account limits. We confirm the purpose and the method before adding accounts.

RISK 02

Removed posts, limited accounts

Promotional posts can be removed or have their reach limited by moderators or automated filters. Posting status has to be checked after publishing too.

RISK 03

Account activity requirements

Some communities limit posting based on account age or karma score. For a new account, we start by checking the participation requirements.

RISK 04

How much promotion is allowed

Communities differ in how far they allow brand mentions, external links, and promotional posts. Each set of rules has to be read before the same post goes to several places.

MICROWAVE draws on hands-on Reddit operating experience and a
network of Korean residents abroad and Reddit users
to decide which communities to join and how to post.
We disclose the brand we represent and follow each community's rules.

( 03 ) What the service covers

From community research
to posts and comments.

We research the communities overseas travelers use, then decide which topics introduce your stay or tour and how to post them. We handle content writing, comment replies, and reporting.

01

Community research

We find the relevant subreddits (topic-based communities) and check the questions users ask most and the posting rules.

02

Plan by industry

We set the communities to join, the content topics, and the publishing schedule based on your industry and target countries.

03

Informational content

We pick the questions customers ask most and write answers and explanations. The posts carry the information people need when comparing a product or service.

04

Comment replies

Our staff read the comments and answer questions themselves. We also track follow-up questions and reactions.

05

Early account operation

For a new account we check each community's participation requirements and begin posting and commenting. We adjust the publishing plan to the account's activity history.

06

Sharing brand expertise

We explain where a property is and how to use it, along with tour schedules and booking details. We keep organizing the things travelers ask about most.

07

SEO · AEO · GEO

We put the question people are searching for in the title, and lay out the answer and its basis so they are easy to read. We also watch post traffic and how readers respond.

08

Weekly report

Every week we summarize the posts and comments published, along with views and engagement figures.

( 04 ) How we work

We check the rules,
then start posting.

We post after checking the account status and the community rules. After publishing, we review comments and posting status and apply what we learn to the next round.

01

We start with the account status

A new account starts with the profile and the participation requirements. We answer questions and share information to build up activity history, and set the publishing volume by what the account is allowed to post.

02

We write to the posting rules

We read each community's posting rules and existing posts, then decide the topic, the wording, and whether to use links. Where promotion is banned, we do not post promotional content.

03

Our staff run the accounts directly

Writing posts and replying to comments is done by our staff. We do not inflate engagement with bots, automated upvotes, fake participation, or spam.

04

Responses shape the next post

Follow-up questions from the comments and post reactions feed into the next piece of content. We keep updating the related information as we go.

( 05 ) Results and operating principles

The platform decides
post approval and account status.

Karma, upvote counts, and whether a post is approved come down to Reddit users and moderators. We focus on writing content and running communities. We report what we did separately from what actually happened, and if a problem comes up we share the cause and how we handled it.

( 08 ) FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How long does it take to see results?+

The timing depends on your industry, the account history, community rules, and how readers respond. Early on, time goes into preparing the account and checking participation requirements. Once operations start, we share what we published and how it performed every week.

How are karma and account status decided?+

Karma depends on how users vote, and post approval or account limits are decided by Reddit and community moderators. We check the rules, and our staff write the content and reply to comments directly.

How do you follow Reddit's rules?+

Before posting we check Reddit policy and each community's rules. We take part with accounts that disclose the brand they represent, and we do not use fake engagement, vote manipulation, spam, or bots. Our full standards are in the white-hat code of conduct.

Do you only work in English-speaking communities?+

We mainly run English-speaking communities. Depending on your target customers and industry, we also review Korean and Japanese communities.

Do we need to have our own account?+

No. For a new account we start with early setup and community participation. If you already have an account, we review its activity history and plan from there.

What if we want to run two or three accounts at once?+

Package prices are based on one Reddit account. Even for the same brand, running several accounts at once multiplies the package quote by the number of accounts. For example, Growth on two accounts is ₩6,000,000 per month, VAT excluded. That is because community research, early setup, and post writing are done separately for each account.

Which industries is this for?+

We work with industries where experience and recommendations influence the purchase: SaaS, apps, consumer goods, beauty, travel, and B2B services. We will check for free whether relevant communities exist and whether your brand can take part.
