The basics
What is Reddit Ads?
Reddit Ads is Reddit's own advertising system. It puts your business in people's feeds and in the communities, called subreddits, where they read and talk about things they care about.
People often go to Reddit to ask for advice and read honest opinions before they buy. So instead of picking searches, you pick the communities and interests that match what you offer, in the areas you serve.
That makes Reddit Ads good at reaching people while they're still researching, before they've made up their minds about who to go with.

What goes into it
The four parts of a good campaign
On Reddit, an ad in the wrong community, or one that sounds like a sales pitch, gets scrolled past.
Communities
Where your ads show. The subreddits and interests your customers follow, in the areas you serve.
A post that fits in
What they see. Ads that read like a helpful post, not a hard sell, so people stop and read.
Offer and landing page
A reason to click. A clear offer, and a page that answers their questions and makes it easy to get in touch.
Testing and tracking
Spending where it pays. Trying different posts and communities and moving money toward the ones that bring customers.
How it works
What we do, step by step
Step 1: We learn your goals
Who your best customers are, your budget and what you want people to do: book, buy or get in touch.
Step 2: We find your communities
The subreddits and interests where your customers talk about what they need, and how they talk there.
Step 3: We write the ads
Posts with wording and images that suit each community, so they feel at home rather than out of place.
Step 4: We set up tracking
The Reddit pixel on your site, so you can see which ads lead to bookings, sales and messages.
Step 5: We test the ads
A/B tests of different posts and communities, keeping the ones that get more people to act.
Step 6: We report and adjust
Plain-language updates on what you spent and what you got, and changes based on what is working.
then we keep testing: new posts for new conversations

What is Reddit Ads?
Reddit’s own advertising system. It shows your ads as promoted posts in people’s feeds and in the communities, called subreddits, that they follow.
How much do Reddit Ads cost?
You choose your budget, and Reddit will not go over it. What you get for it depends on the communities you target and how many other businesses want to reach them. We help you pick a budget that makes sense.
Will people on Reddit mind seeing ads?
People on Reddit can spot a hard sell, so ads work best when they are useful and fit the community. That is why we write each ad for where it will show.
Can I choose who sees my ads?
Yes. You can target by community, interest and area, and show ads to people who already visited your website.
Should I do Reddit Ads or Meta Ads?
They reach people in different moments. Meta Ads get you noticed while people scroll, while Reddit Ads reach people who are reading and asking about your topic. Many businesses use both.
Can I stop my ads at any time?
Yes. Ads can be paused whenever you like. Just keep in mind that visits from ads stop as soon as the ads do.
