Using r/smallbusiness for lead generation

A general-tier sub for any tool serving SMBs — CRM, scheduling, payments, marketing. The audience is less software-native than the founder subs, so plain-language positioning wins. Volume is high; filter for software-shaped questions.

  • "How do I get more customers" marketing posts
