Stop burning budget on cold ads before you fix distribution

If nobody is searching for your category yet, ads amplify a positioning problem. Intent-led social fixes the top of funnel first.

Pre-PMF founders often pour money into Meta and Google because it feels measurable. Clicks arrive; customers don’t. The issue is rarely the ad creative — it’s that cold audiences were never asking to buy.

Intent-led distribution flips the funnel: find people already discussing the problem, show up with value, earn the conversation.

Reddit, Quora, YouTube, X, and LinkedIn are public intent graphs. The hard part is monitoring them without living in five tabs — that’s what Lead Reminders solve.

One plan monitors all five platforms. You get notified when high-intent drafts are ready — you review and post yourself.

Measure reply rate and booked calls from social threads, not just impressions. One thread that ranks for six months can outperform a month of ad spend.

SaaSLeadsBuddy scans Reddit, Quora, YouTube, X, and LinkedIn — then drafts value-first replies you approve and post.
