For idea validation

See if people talk about the problem on Reddit before you build

Set up a campaign for the idea instead of a finished product. SignalSeek watches the subreddits where your audience talks and scores each thread. After enough monitoring, the campaign gets a Reddit demand signal: strong, weak or inconclusive. It tells you if people discuss the problem, not if they will pay.

01

Describe the problem and give the idea a working name

The campaign form asks for a name, what the product does, the audience, and the problem it solves. A working name is enough. SignalSeek generates the search terms and the subreddits from that description and starts monitoring. You do not have to reply to any thread for the signal to build.

02

A demand-signal badge on every plan

Your campaign list shows a Reddit demand signal badge on each campaign: Strong signal, Weak signal or Inconclusive. The badge reads No data yet until the campaign has run for a minimum number of monitoring passes and days. Strong means people are actively voicing this pain. Weak means there is little sign of it.

03

The evidence behind the verdict, on Scale

On Scale, the campaign's Stats tab shows the verdict with its four inputs: match rate, match volume, average quality and trend. Each input is marked strong, medium or weak. Tables by search term and by subreddit show which phrasing of the problem and which communities produce matches. You can pick a window from yesterday to all time.

04

What the signal does not tell you

The signal shows that people discuss the problem. It is not a read on willingness to pay or on market size. It covers Reddit only, and only the subreddits and search terms in your campaign. Mixed data stays Inconclusive instead of being rounded up to Strong.

Q.01How long until I get a verdict?

The badge reads No data yet until the campaign passes a minimum number of monitoring runs over a minimum number of days. SignalSeek checks the subreddits every 15 minutes by default, so keep the campaign running and check back.

Q.02Do I need a finished product to start?

No. The form needs a name, a description, the audience and the problem. A working name for the idea is enough, and you do not have to reply to any thread.

Q.03What do Strong, Weak and Inconclusive mean?

Strong means people are actively voicing this pain. Weak means there is little sign of it. Inconclusive means the data is mixed or there is not enough of it yet.

Q.04Which plan shows the full evidence?

The demand signal badge shows on every plan. The Stats tab, with the four inputs and the per-term and per-subreddit tables, is part of Scale.

Q.05Does a Strong signal mean people will pay for it?

No. It shows that people discuss the problem on Reddit. It is not a read on willingness to pay or on market size.

Q.06Can I test more than one idea?

Yes, with one campaign per idea. Starter allows 1 campaign, Growth allows 5 campaigns, and Scale allows unlimited campaigns.

Free during the public beta: every account gets the Scale plan, every feature, no card required. Paid plans return at launch.
