# Submit to r/AskMarketing

> Launch Llama directory submission tracker review — last reviewed 2026-08-25

- **Canonical:** https://tools.launchllama.co/tools/launch-directories/r-askmarketing
- **Markdown twin:** https://tools.launchllama.co/directory-spokes/r-askmarketing.md
- **Directory:** r/AskMarketing (reddit.com)
- **Submit URL:** https://reddit.com
- **DR:** 95
- **Pricing:** Free
- **Category:** Community (#9 of 113 by DR in this category)
- **Referral traffic:** Very High
- **Backlink quality:** Weak
- **Link type:** Nofollow — reddit.com/r/AskMarketing post links use nofollow — value is community referral traffic, not backlink SEO

## Quick verdict

Marketing Q&A community — DR 95, free to submit. Worth it with authentic posts and comment engagement; skip if you want a permanent directory backlink.

**Best for:** Founders seeking marketing advice with product context in question form · Marketers sharing tool discoveries as answers to community questions

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Posts publish immediately unless AutoModerator filters them — manual mod review can take minutes to hours.
- **Review:** r/AskMarketing moderators enforce self-promotion limits, account age, karma minimums, and community-specific posting rules.
- **Common rejections:** Fake questions that are really ads, low-karma accounts, repeated product plugs, or posts without genuine marketing question framing.
- **Reputation:** Subreddit is AskMarketing — posts must ask something; “Roast my landing page” works better than “Launching today!”

## Pros

- DR 95 domain with very high community referral traffic on posts that gain traction
- Free — no paid listing or editorial queue
- Marketing Q&A community audience aligned with your launch goals
- Comment threads surface feedback, positioning gaps, and early users

## Cons

- Backlink quality rated Weak — Reddit links are nofollow, not SEO
- Not a directory — no permanent listing page on your product
- Moderation removes off-topic promo — wasted effort if rules ignored
- Account karma and age gates block brand-new marketing accounts

## What you need before you submit

- Reddit account meeting r/AskMarketing karma and age requirements
- Read r/AskMarketing sidebar rules, flair requirements, and promo day schedules
- Text post with context — what you built, why, and what feedback you want
- Working demo link and screenshots embedded in post body
- 2–4 hours blocked to reply authentically to every comment

**Gotchas:**

- Title must be a real question — moderators remove disguised launch announcements
- Put your product link in the post body as context, not as the entire post
- Answer other threads before posting your own — community checks post history

## Submission mechanics

- **Account:** Reddit account — create a text or link post at reddit.com/r/AskMarketing/submit after meeting subreddit requirements.
- **Categories:** Posts should ask a marketing question — channel strategy, positioning, campaign ideas; read required post format in sidebar.
- **Anchor text:** Post title and optional body link; outbound URLs use Reddit redirect wrappers with nofollow.
- **Link placement:** Ephemeral subreddit feed post — sinks within hours; not indexed as a product directory page.

## FAQ

### Can I launch my product on r/AskMarketing?

Not as a launch announcement — ask a specific marketing question and include your product as context for feedback.

### Does r/AskMarketing help SEO?

No — nofollow links. Value is marketing peer feedback and referral clicks from engaged readers.

### What questions work well?

“How would you position X for Y audience?” or “Which channel first for a B2B tool at $0 budget?” — specific beats generic.

### How is r/AskMarketing different from r/marketing?

r/AskMarketing requires question-format posts. r/marketing allows broader discussion and case studies.
