This week, Joe and Robert dig into the Reddit phenomenon. Leading in AI findability (AEO) and trusted by geeks everywhere, the platform is having its coming-out moment. Is it time to ride the marketing train to Reddit town? Here's why Reddit marketing could be your next big business move

This week's sponsor:

Did you know that most businesses only use 20% of their data?

That's like reading a book with most of the pages torn out.

Point is, you miss a lot.

Unless you use HubSpot.

Their customer platform gives you access to the data you need to grow your business.

The insights trapped in emails, call logs, and transcripts. All that unstructured data that makes all the difference.

Because when you know more, you grow more.
