Community Targeting

Community targeting places your ads inside specific subreddits you choose, reaching people while they browse those communities.

You pick the communities by name, and your ad serves to people active in them, so context does the heavy lifting. Someone reading a subreddit about a topic is already in the mindset for it, which makes a relevant ad land instead of intrude. You can target a few broad communities or a stack of narrow ones.

Say you sell mechanical keyboards. You target the mechanical keyboard community and two adjacent ones about custom builds, and your ad appears while people are already deep in that hobby. Compared with a broad interest campaign, the click-through runs higher because the room and the offer match.

Match the community to the offer, not just the size. A big subreddit with loose relevance burns budget on people who do not care, while a small tightly matched one converts. Relevance beats reach here.

The right room does half the selling.
