For brand managers

Know what your brand means to people — without living on Reddit

Reddit is where people share unfiltered opinions about your brand. Makna captures every mention, analyzes sentiment, and surfaces what needs your attention — so you can focus on strategy, not scrolling.

Sound familiar?

Manually searching Reddit

You search your brand name on Reddit once a week, skim a few threads, and hope you didn't miss anything important.

No independent visibility

Your agency says sentiment is improving, but you have no way to verify their reports with unbiased data.

Enterprise tools are out of reach

Brandwatch starts at $800/mo. Brand24 at $249/mo. You need insights, not a second mortgage.

Questions from brand managers

How does Makna help brand managers who don't have time to scroll Reddit?
Makna does the monitoring for you automatically. Once you add your brand name and keywords, every relevant Reddit post and comment is captured, classified by sentiment and topic, and organized in a filterable feed. You get a weekly email digest so you never need to check the dashboard unless something needs attention.
Can I use Makna to verify what my agency reports about brand sentiment?
Yes — this is one of the most common use cases. Makna gives you an independent, unfiltered view of what people actually say about your brand on Reddit. You can compare Makna's sentiment data and issue categories against your agency's reports to verify their claims and spot anything they might be missing.
How do I know which Reddit conversations need my attention?
Makna flags high-reach discussions (high upvotes and comments), surfaces trending negative sentiment, and categorizes issues by topic (Product Quality, Customer Service, Pricing, etc.). The dashboard highlights what's driving negative perception so you can prioritize the conversations that matter most.
Can I share Reddit insights with my team or leadership?
Yes. You can forward individual mentions to colleagues via email directly from Makna, and the weekly/daily email digests can be shared across your team. The Diagnose → Focus → Measure framework gives you a structured way to present Reddit insights to leadership.
What's the difference between Makna and setting up Google Alerts for Reddit?
Google Alerts catches a fraction of Reddit mentions (only those indexed by Google) and provides zero analysis. Makna captures every post and comment matching your keywords, classifies each by sentiment and topic category, identifies which communities discuss your brand, and tracks trends over time. It's the difference between a drip feed of raw links and a structured intelligence dashboard.
