The main competitor in conversations is not another tool, it is "just let Claude or Codex review it".

02Objectives, Oct 15 to Jan 15

Three goals for the next 90 days

Objective 1: more mentions and impressions

Double organic mentions and reach 10M views across 20 subreddits

Target	Key result
10M	Views across our posts in 90 days. That needs about 770k a week, 40% above the current pace of 550k.
230 / month	Organic CodeRabbit mentions, up from about 115 a month today. Only mentions by people outside our team count.
70%+	Share of voice among AI code review tools. Today it is about 70%: ~230 of ~330 mentions against Bugbot and Greptile. We also count how often threads say "just use Claude or Codex", since that is the real competitor.
Down monthly	Tag every mention as positive, neutral or negative. Baseline in the first 2 weeks, then the share of negative mentions goes down every month.
20 subs	Post in 20 active subreddits, up from 9. New audiences: mobile (React Native, Flutter, iOS), frontend, backend, .NET, enterprise and product teams.
2 / month	At least 2 posts a month each for Security, Triage, Change Stack, Post-merge Actions and the Slack agent. Every product, not only code review.
2x	Double r/coderabbit monthly visitors again.

These targets assume 8 accounts, up from 3. With 3 accounts the realistic target is the current pace: about 7M views, mostly in the 9 subreddits we are in today.

Objective 2: track and respond in the threads that matter

Where agentic coding threads happen, watched even where we don't post

Target	Key result
Daily	Check keyword alerts for the terms above across all of Reddit, not only the subreddits we post in.
90%	Reply to 90% of threads that mention CodeRabbit within 24 hours. Replies come from developers who use CodeRabbit, so they are honest, including when it is not the right fit.
4 hours	Reply to complaints, bug reports, billing and outage threads within 4 hours, and pass them to the CodeRabbit team the same day.
300 / month	Helpful comments in relevant threads. At least 200 of them in agentic coding threads, where most of our comments help without mentioning CodeRabbit.
Weekly	Send the CodeRabbit team a list of what users praise, complain about and ask for.

Objective 3: rank on Google and get picked up by AI

Show up when buyers ask Google and AI tools about AI code review

SEO, AEO and GEO. AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude) lean heavily on the Reddit threads Google ranks.

Already working: one of our threads is #1 on Google for "do I need AI code review"

"What's your honest take on AI code review tools?" on r/ExperiencedDevs is #1 on Google and cited in the AI Overview. Other threads show up for "best AI code review tool", "is AI code review worth it" and "Bugbot vs CodeRabbit".

Examples of the 20 buyer questions we track

best AI code review tool
do I need AI code review
is CodeRabbit worth it
CodeRabbit vs Claude review
how to review AI-generated code
code review for Claude Code PRs

Target	Key result
20	Track 20 buyer questions in Google and in AI answers, such as "best AI code review tool", "is CodeRabbit worth it" and "CodeRabbit vs Claude review". At least 5 are agentic coding questions, such as "how to review AI-generated code". Baseline in the first 2 weeks, update every month.
All	Make sure the Reddit threads that rank for those questions have a helpful, upvoted comment that mentions CodeRabbit.
2-3 / week	New posts, each written around one buyer question so it can rank for it.
+5	By Jan 15, compared with the baseline, 5 more of the 20 questions show a CodeRabbit thread on Google page 1, and 5 more name CodeRabbit in AI answers.
20 answers	A pinned FAQ and wiki in r/coderabbit with one short answer to each of the 20 questions, plus honest comparison posts. We control these, so they stay accurate when features or pricing change.

04Rules we follow

We stay within Reddit's rules, so the growth does not backfire

Redditors and moderators call out hidden marketing fast, and one exposed thread can undo months of goodwill.

Target	Rule
Always	Any comment that recommends CodeRabbit says the writer works with CodeRabbit.
Every sub	Read each subreddit's self-promotion rules before the first post, and ask the mods first where the rules call for it.
Never	No buying or trading upvotes and no fake reviews. Each account is one real person, and our accounts never vote on or reply to each other's posts.
Under 5%	Posts and comments removed by mods. Zero account bans. Tracked weekly.

05How we report

You see every number weekly, and a one‑page summary monthly

Weekly: Every post, comment and number is updated in the shared report (cr-reports).
Monthly: One page with the key results above, what worked and what is next.

Where each number comes from

Views: Reddit post insights on our posts.
Mentions: Keyword alerts across all of Reddit. Each mention is tagged by tool and by sentiment, which gives share of voice.
Reply time: Time from the thread being posted to our first reply, logged in cr-reports.
Google: Logged-out US check of page 1 for each of the 20 questions, monthly.
AI answers: The 20 questions asked in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Claude, monthly, with screenshots.
Traffic and signups: Visits and signups from Reddit, plus branded Google searches for "CodeRabbit". Reported as a signal, not a target, until there is a baseline.

06What would help from your side

Main ask: go from 3 accounts to 8

20 subreddits at 2 or 3 per account comes to 8 accounts. Each one is run by a developer who uses CodeRabbit and focuses on the subreddits that match their work: AI agents, frontend, backend and .NET, mobile, security and DevOps, product teams.

Accounts: Approve 5 more accounts, so 8 in total. New accounts need a few weeks of commenting before most subreddits let them post, so the earlier the better.
Launches: A heads-up 2 weeks before launches, so we can start the conversation about the problem before the product ships.
Escalations: One named person for bug, billing and outage threads who can get an answer the same day.
Data: Read access to Reddit visits and signups in your analytics, and to branded search in Google Search Console.
