Find people on Reddit asking for what you sell: let AI sort threads and draft replies, then turn the questions into articles
Search Google for fresh Reddit threads asking for what you offer, have Claude sort them, keep only the fresh ones and draft a reply that helps before it sells, then turn the most-asked question into an article outline. You always post yourself.
Start step 1 ↓The problem
Every day people ask on Reddit for a recommended accountant, insurer or designer, but you won't check daily, and when you do it's hard to tell which threads are worth answering, or how to reply without sounding like an ad that gets removed.

Search Reddit in your customer's words
On Google, search site:reddit.com "your service" plus your city or country, then Tools → Any time → Past month. Use the words a customer types, like "need insurance for my food truck", not industry terms.
PromptReplace the 3 ✎ dashed parts with your own details, then copy.
Search the web for Reddit threads from the last 30 days where someone asks for your service (sample, replace with yours) in your city or country (sample, replace with yours), or describes the problem you solve (sample, replace with yours). For each thread you actually opened: title, URL, date, and one line on what the person wants. Only list threads you opened. Never invent a URL or a date. If you can't see the date, say "date unknown".

Have AI sort them and keep the ones worth answering
The author's buckets: A asks for a recommendation, B describes a problem you solve, C is general discussion. Drop C; threads older than two weeks usually aren't worth it unless they rank on Google's first page.
PromptReplace the 1 ✎ dashed part with your own details, then copy.
Here are the threads you found: paste the threads (sample, replace with yours) Sort each into: A) asks for a recommendation, B) describes a problem I solve, C) general discussion. Then sort A and B by date, newest first. Drop C, and drop anything older than 14 days unless it shows up on Google's first page for my service. Give me the top 5 with one line on why each is worth answering. - 3
Draft a reply that helps first and doesn't sell
Answer in the first sentence, add one detail only someone in your line of work would know, say who you are in one line, no link and no "DM me". Read it, fix anything untrue, and post it yourself.

Draft a Reddit reply to this thread: paste the post (sample, replace with yours) Rules: - First sentence answers their question directly. - Add one specific detail only a your job (sample, replace with yours) would know. - One line saying who I am: "your one-line intro (sample, replace with yours)". - No link. No "DM me". No sales words. - Under 80 words. Plain, friendly, like a person typing on a phone. Give me 2 versions.

Turn the repeated question into an article outline
The author's 12 open threads this week looked different, but 7 shared one underlying question, which became one article. Check the content yourself once you have the outline.

Here are the questions from this month's threads: paste the questions (sample, replace with yours) Group them by the underlying question. For the biggest group, give me: an article title in the asker's words, 5 H2 sections, and 3 FAQ entries from the smaller questions. Don't add questions that aren't in my list.
