Engage

Use the Engage tab to find high‑leverage social threads from your citations data, prioritize where to jump in, and run a repeatable engagement workflow.

Understand Engage

Engage surfaces active discussions on platforms like Reddit, X, Quora, LinkedIn, Hacker News, and Stack Overflow where your topics and prompts already show up in citations.

Why Engage compounds

Consistent, high‑quality participation in the right threads does three things over time:

Puts your product and point of view in front of people already asking the questions your prompts target.
Earns saves, upvotes, replies, and backlinks that make those threads more discoverable in Google and on the platform itself.
Sends durable signals about your expertise, so future readers trust your handle and follow related links.

Once a thread ranks in Google or keeps getting resurfaced by the platform, every good contribution you leave there continues to work for you without additional effort.

What you see on the Engage tab

Engage shows the subset of citation URLs that are social discussions, with fields that help you decide where to act and track what you have already done.

Key fields:

Discussion title and URL — The main thread title plus a link that opens in a new tab.
Platform badge — A badge/icon derived from the URL via platform detection, e.g. Reddit, X, Quora, LinkedIn, Hacker News, Stack Overflow.
Topics covered — Shows which of your topic categories this source was referenced with.
Prompts covered — The prompts that generated citations to this URL, which hints at the question intent and search language.
Frequency — How often this URL appears in your citations over the recent window, which is a proxy for how often AI models surface it.

Engagement guidelines that actually work

Treat Engage as a way to join existing conversations usefully, not as an outbound promotion feed.

Follow these principles on every thread:

Contribute substance first.
Answer the actual question asked in the thread. Use concrete steps, code snippets, or examples that stand on their own even if the reader never clicks anything.
Avoid promotional content.
Skip claims, superlatives, and feature lists. Instead:
- Describe how to solve the problem, and only then mention how your product implements that approach.
- Link once, at the end, if it is directly relevant and not the main point of the answer.
Meet the norms of each platform.
Before posting, read the highest‑upvoted answers in that community. Match their depth, tone, and formatting.

Over time, these behaviors turn your handle into a recognized expert instead of a brand account that gets ignored or reported.

Run a repeatable Engage workflow

Use this workflow every time you clear a batch in the Engage tab so status and impact stay aligned.

Scan and select a high‑value thread

Use filters to narrow to pending items on your priority platforms, then scan the list:

Look for higher frequency discussions within your core topics.
Check that the associated prompts match search intent you care about.
Open promising threads in a new tab and quickly read the OP and top replies.

You know you picked a good target when the question is clearly in your lane and the existing top answers have room for a more complete, current, or practical response.

Post and adapt to platform norms

Frame your expertise into public comment:

Adjust formatting to match the platform: headings and bullets for Reddit/LinkedIn, concise replies for X, code blocks for Stack Overflow.
Double‑check any links are relevant, minimal.
Re‑read for tone: helpful peer, not sales rep.

Once posted, confirm the comment or answer appears where you expect in the thread.

Monitor and follow up

Keep an eye on the discussion over the next few days:

Reply to follow‑up questions with the same substance‑first approach.
Edit your answer if major details change or if you can improve clarity.
Note any patterns in objections or confusion; feed those back into your prompts and content.

Meaningful back‑and‑forth often drives more visibility than a single static answer.

Update status in Engage

When you are satisfied with your contribution for now:

Set the discussion status to done if you posted and engaged.
Use dismissed button if you decide a thread is not worth engaging (off‑topic, low quality, or misaligned with your positioning).
Leave pending only for items you genuinely plan to address soon.

Engage persists these statuses through dedicated status APIs, so you always see what is new, what you have covered, and what you intentionally skipped.

Next steps

Use Engage together with the other recommendation types to cover the full funnel: where to be mentioned, how to join conversations, and what content to create.

Get mentioned

See where to ask for explicit brand and product mentions on high‑leverage pages, so your contributions in threads and citations convert into durable references.

Create content

Use your learnings from Engage conversations to prioritize and create owned content that answers the same questions in depth on your own domain.
