M-05Community Signal
Show up in the forum threads models quote back to buyers.
The problem
Google's preference for forum results and every major model's habit of citing Reddit mean a single unanswered thread can shape how thousands of buyers understand your product. Most brands have no idea those threads exist.
What this module does
Community Signal finds the threads that matter in your category, scores each one by how much it influences AI answers, and helps your team contribute in a way communities accept rather than punish.
- The threads shaping your category, ranked by real influence
- A disclosed, non-spammy participation programme
- Early warning on narrative problems
- Measurable citation lift from community presence
Capabilities
Inside Community Signal
- 01
Thread discovery and scoring
Continuous monitoring across Reddit, Quora, Hacker News, Stack Exchange and the niche forums in your vertical, ranked by citation influence rather than raw traffic.
- 02
Citation influence mapping
See which specific threads the engines quote when answering your tracked prompts, so effort goes to the ten conversations that actually move the answer.
- 03
Response drafting with guardrails
Drafts are written to community norms — disclosure included, promotion stripped out — and always routed through a human before posting.
- 04
Unanswered-question radar
Surface high-intent questions in your category that nobody has answered well yet. These are the cheapest citations available.
- 05
Sentiment tracking
Watch how your brand is discussed over time and catch a bad narrative while it is still one thread.
- 06
Escalation routing
Route product complaints and support issues to the team that owns them instead of letting them decay in public.

Community Signal — questions
Isn't marketing on Reddit against the rules?
Undisclosed promotion is, and it gets brands banned. Community Signal operates on disclosed participation only: real accounts, stated affiliation, answers that stand on their own merit. We will not run an astroturfing programme, and we turn down clients who ask for one.
Who actually posts?
On self-serve plans, your team — Aeologic finds the threads and drafts the response. On managed accounts, a named strategist posts from a disclosed brand account after you approve the draft.
How long before community work shows up in AI answers?
Faster than most channels. Highly-upvoted thread contributions have shown up in engine citations within two to three weeks in our managed accounts.
