Overview
What it does
What does the Reddit query finder do?
It shows you how a topic is discussed on Reddit and whether Google is surfacing Reddit for it. You enter a topic and a country. The tool runs two Google searches, one for the topic and one for the topic plus the word “reddit”, then keeps the Reddit threads it finds. It groups them by subreddit, pulls out the questions in the titles and in People also ask, and writes a short analysis of how people phrase the topic, the themes that repeat, and the content angles worth covering.
What do you enter?
Topic. What people would search, up to 80 characters. Search operators and quotes are removed.
Country. United States, United Kingdom, Canada, or Australia. Searches run in English on desktop results.
What do you get back?
Reddit on this search. Whether Reddit appears on page one for the topic itself, at which positions, and whether Google shows a discussions and forums block.
Subreddits. Each subreddit found and how many threads came from it.
Threads. Each thread title with a link that opens Reddit in a new tab, its subreddit, and which search found it.
Questions people ask. Thread titles phrased as questions, plus People also ask questions from the results page.
What this says. Five short sections: where Reddit shows up, how people phrase the topic, recurring themes, content angles, and which three threads to read first.
Copy as markdown. The full result in one click.
What does it not do?
It does not read the threads. The analysis works from titles and questions only, so it never reports what commenters said or what the consensus is.
It does not show upvotes, comment counts, post dates, traffic, or search volume.
A position is a page-one ranking only when the thread was found by the topic search. For threads found by the topic plus “reddit” search, the number is the order in that search, not a ranking for your topic.
How many credits does a run cost?
A run costs 4 credits and makes two searches.
If fewer than three Reddit threads come back, the tool skips the analysis, says so, and returns 2 of the 4 credits.
If a search fails or times out, the run costs nothing.
A free account includes 10 credits a month. Pro includes 500.

Where Reddit shows up
Reddit lands once on page one for “trail running shoes,” at position 4, with no discussions and forums block. That single placement, paired with a heavy Reddit-specific result set, suggests Google treats this as a recommendation query where forum opinion matters, even though it's not surfacing the forums block treatment.
How people phrase this
Almost nobody searches or posts using the flat phrase “trail running shoes” — they ask for “recommendations,” “recommended shoes,” or describe their situation first (first trail marathon, beginner, long distances, durable). The word “runners” shows up as shorthand for the shoes themselves, and several titles frame this as a comparison against road shoes or hiking shoes rather than a category on its own. There's also a recurring weekly-thread format, which tells you this community treats shoe questions as routine and ongoing, not one-off.
Recurring themes
Distance-specific recommendations — people want shoe advice tied to a specific race length or run type (25k/15+ miles, first trail marathon, easy/recovery runs).
Beginner entry points — new trail runners ask what to buy first, often unsure if hiking shoes or road shoes would work instead.
Category confusion vs. adjacent shoe types — recurring comparisons to hiking shoes and road running shoes, and whether one pair can cross over.
Durability and traction as top priorities — several titles specifically call out wanting shoes that hold up and grip well, more than cushioning or looks.
Structured, recurring Q&A — the “weekly questions” thread format shows this is treated as an ongoing decision point, not a single search.
Content angles
A distance-based shoe guide — matches shoes to run length/type, serving runners who search by scenario rather than shoe model.
A trail vs. road vs. hiking shoe breakdown — serves beginners unsure which category they actually need.
A durability and traction buying guide — serves runners on rougher, sustained terrain who prioritize longevity and grip.
A “getting started” shoe primer for new trail runners — serves people asking basic entry questions before their first pair.
A fit-and-try guide — addresses the practical “how do I actually try these on” angle that beginners and switchers ask about.
