Can you promote in r/localseo?
Your community for Local SEO news, tips, help & case studies.
The short answer
Participate as a regular helpful member first, share neutral, well-sourced Local SEO insights or case studies without promotional links, and if you must mention your product/company do so briefly as disclosure and focus on value to the community.
What works here
- sharing Local SEO news, tips, research, or case studies
- posting informational content from Local SEO organizations
- helpful, non-promotional answers to questions
What gets posts removed
- linking to your product, service pages, or sales pages
- soliciting customers or posting blatant advertising
- posting AI-generated content or low-effort posts
