# Keyword Alerts

## Reddit keyword alerts that lead to action

Basic keyword alerts tell you that a phrase appeared. Linkeddit monitors go further by storing the post, deduping results, showing context, and letting you generate a response from your product knowledge base.

### Short answer

Use Reddit keyword alerts for brand names, competitor names, alternative phrases, and bottom-funnel buying-intent terms. Use monitors when you need a feed, triage workflow, and AI-assisted replies.

### Signal snapshot

**Cadence options:** Daily, weekly, monthly  
**Best use:** Intent alerts  
**Manual run:** Supported

## What to monitor

Start with terms that imply action. Broad category keywords create noise. Intent modifiers turn keyword monitoring into a pipeline source.

- Brand names  
- Competitor alternatives  
- Looking for a tool  
- Any recommendations

## Why alerts alone are not enough

A notification is only useful if your team knows what to do next. Linkeddit stores the context and lets you triage each result from one monitor feed.

- Deduped results  
- Unread and archived states  
- Saved posts  
- AI reply suggestions

## When to use scheduled monitors

Use daily monitors for high-intent terms, weekly monitors for brand and competitor mentions, and monthly monitors for broad market research.

- Daily: alternatives and recommendations  
- Weekly: brand and competitor terms  
- Monthly: category research  
- Manual run-now for urgent checks
