Comparison questions tell you exactly what a buyer is weighing: price, features, trust, migration, or fit for one task.
This Reddit marketing workflow finds those questions and prepares the facts a human needs to answer them honestly.
SocialListeningAPI searches public posts on Reddit and Google results for the phrases you choose. It returns normalized records with source URLs.
Step 1: List comparison searches
Create a SocialListeningAPI account and claim the 100 free credits. Combine your brand, category, and competitors with evaluation words:
product A vs product Balternative to product Ais product A worth itproduct A pricing Redditproduct A missing feature
Search competitor pairs even when your product is not named. The question may still reveal a useful comparison topic.
Step 2: Search Reddit marketing questions
for endpoint in reddit/search-posts google/search
do
curl --get "https://api.sociallisteningapi.com/api/v1/$endpoint" \
--data-urlencode 'query=product A vs product B' \
--header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'
doneOne query across both sources costs 2 credits. Read the Reddit search API and Google endpoint docs for current coverage. The MCP can run the same searches from Claude or ChatGPT.
Step 3: Classify the question
Store source URL, products compared, question, published date, subreddit, and review status in an external system. Label the main issue as pricing, feature, migration, trust, support, or use-case fit.
Classification and fact checking happen outside SocialListeningAPI.
Step 4: Build the answer from current facts
Check current pricing, documentation, limits, and product pages before drafting. Admit where a competitor fits better. Do not turn a narrow feature question into a broad claim that your product is best.
Step 5: Approve any Reddit reply
A human must open the full thread, read the subreddit rules, and decide whether a vendor response is allowed. Answer the question, disclose your affiliation, and link only when useful and permitted.
Conclusion
Use the queue as product and sales research even when you never reply. Repeated questions can expose missing comparison pages or unclear documentation.
When a response is appropriate, accuracy and disclosure matter more than being first.
