Community Signals helps you monitor the communities you choose, surface relevant threads, and draft grounded talking points — so you can earn citations by being helpful, not by spamming.
What it is
AI visibility is not only about what models say in isolation — real buyers still ask humans on forums like Reddit. Community Signals:
- Monitors subreddits and communities you choose
- Queues questions that match your brand and topics
- Drafts talking points grounded in your site content and scan evidence
- Never auto-posts — you copy, adapt, and publish manually in the thread
This is outreach support, not mention scanning. Your Visibility Index comes from scheduled engine scans, not from community activity.
Availability
Community Signals is temporarily removed from primary dashboard navigation while we refine community relevance. Existing direct links remain available; choose communities whose members are genuinely likely to need your product or service.
How to use it
- Add a community target — pick a subreddit where your buyers actually ask (for example r/smallbusiness, r/BuyItForLife, or a niche trade forum).
- Poll for questions — Stride fetches recent threads and ranks them by relevance to your site.
- Review the queue — open a pending question and generate a draft answer.
- Copy and post yourself — paste into Reddit (or the community's native UI), edit for tone, then mark the draft ready so your team knows what shipped.
- Promote to Keywords — when a community question is worth tracking long-term, promote it into your Keywords pipeline as a pending prompt suggestion.
Stride never posts for you
Community drafts are starting points. You are responsible for what you publish in third-party communities. Stride does not auto-post to Reddit or anywhere else.
Plan & limits
Community Signals is available on paid plans. Draft generation uses metered AI credits like other Stride features. There is no unlimited auto-outreach — each draft is generated one question at a time for review.
FAQ
Can Stride post my answer to Reddit? No. Copy the draft and post manually.
How is this different from my prompt list? Prompts are questions Stride asks AI engines on a schedule. Community Signals finds questions real people asked in forums. Promote bridges the two when a thread is worth ongoing tracking.
Will this improve my Visibility Index directly? Not immediately — helpful community presence can earn citations over time, but index movement still comes from scheduled scans and the content you publish on your own site.
