How Needlz Works

How does Needlz find relevant conversations?

Needlz continuously monitors Reddit threads, X posts, and similar community platforms, scanning for conversations where your brand, product category, or target keywords are being discussed with clear intent. Proprietary scoring models rank threads by relevance, recency, community authority, and how likely a reply would be to be genuinely helpful and well-received. Only the highest-scoring conversations reach your dashboard — you never wade through noise.

What does a Needlz AI suggestion look like?

A Needlz AI suggestion is a draft reply tailored to the specific thread. It is written to add genuine value to the conversation while naturally mentioning your brand where it fits. You always see the thread context alongside the suggestion so you understand exactly why it is relevant. You review, edit, and decide before anything gets posted. Needlz never posts on your behalf.

Does Needlz post automatically on my behalf?

No. Needlz never posts anything automatically. Every suggestion is shown to you first — you decide whether to use it, edit it, or discard it. This is a deliberate design choice: automation without human review is how accounts get banned. You are always in control.

How do I actually post a Needlz suggestion?

You copy or adapt the suggested reply and post it yourself from your own Reddit or X account. Needlz is a discovery and drafting tool. The posting action is always taken by you. This keeps you in full control of your accounts and ensures every post reflects your authentic judgement.

How does Needlz track AI citation visibility?

Needlz queries major AI surfaces — starting with Google AI Overviews — for topics relevant to your brand and tracks how often your brand is cited in the responses. You see a visibility score over time, showing whether your community activity is translating into increased AI citations. This closes the loop between activity (joining conversations) and outcome (getting cited in AI answers).

Can I track competitors' AI citation visibility with Needlz?

Yes. You can track competitor brands alongside your own to see how your citation share compares to alternatives in your category. This is one of the most powerful features for understanding your position in AI-generated recommendations and identifying where you are gaining or losing ground.

What AI platforms does Needlz track citations on?

Needlz tracks citations on Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Gemini today, with more surfaces (like Perplexity) on the way. As new AI search surfaces gain market share, we add them to our tracking.

How long does it take to see results in AI citation visibility?

It varies by category and how consistently you engage. Some brands in less competitive categories see citation improvements within 2–4 weeks of consistent activity. In highly competitive categories, building meaningful citation share can take 2–3 months of regular engagement. Consistency matters more than volume — one well-timed, helpful reply per day outperforms ten replies in one week and then silence.
