What r/DigitalMarketing is
A place for digital marketers to come together to have professional conversations on all things digital. No promotional posts. This rule will be strictly enforced.
Marketing teams that want to keep up with search and AI trends and take part as practitioners, not advertisers.
Can a brand post in r/DigitalMarketing?
There are five rules: no posting of services, no posting of seminars, no self-promotion, no surveys, feedback or reviews, and no AI-generated posts. The first three each send advertisers to Reddit's advertising options. Posts that are clearly AI-generated get deleted and the user gets banned. The sub's description says no promotional posts and that the rule will be strictly enforced. A brand can take part as a practitioner, but it can't use the sub to offer a service. The top posts of the past year are discussions and observations about AI, GEO and search. None of them are offers.
What works
- Sharing findings, observations and questions as a practitioner
- Joining the AI search and GEO discussions that show up in the top posts
- Writing your own posts, since AI-generated ones get deleted and the poster banned
- Using Reddit's advertising options if you want to promote
What gets removed
- Posting of services
- Posting of seminars
- Self-promotion
