Has anyone tried this Korean serum? Saw it on TikTok but reviews are mixed…
We work on Reddit. Only Reddit. Organic community, viral, and AI search (Reddit GEO). One channel, deep expertise.
Upvote is a Reddit GEO agency for Korean brands entering the US market.
When ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini answer product questions, Reddit is among the most-cited sources. In categories where Reddit threads are retrieved, Reddit GEO strongly shapes whether your brand gets recommended.
When ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini answer product questions, Reddit is among the most-cited sources. In categories where Reddit threads are retrieved, Reddit GEO strongly shapes whether your brand gets recommended.
Subreddits are category-specific expert communities of tens of thousands to millions. A single well-received thread can rank on Google's first page for months.
Korean agencies run Instagram, TikTok, and Meta. Reddit is left untouched. The channel is still open. And native presence compounds faster than on saturated platforms.
Reputation, community, global viral campaigns, ads, and GEO. One channel. The full stack.
Mention tracking, response, misinformation containment. Reputation tracking across your target subreddits.
Native posts and comments in key subreddits. Viral campaigns engineered for category moments.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini 'best Korean skincare for oily skin', we make sure the Reddit threads they cite are tied to your brand. We build claim-ready anchor posts. KPIs we report monthly: AI citations, referral traffic, share of voice.
See the full Reddit GEO service →Subreddit targeting, Promoted Posts, Conversation Ads, and retargeting. Managed end to end to drive sales on the platform where buyers decide.
We don't start by pushing brand messages. We first understand the community, earn trust through useful participation, then amplify what already works.
We identify the 10 to 20 subreddits that matter for your category. We study rules, tone, recurring questions, and existing sentiment.
We create native posts, comments, and discussion angles that fit each subreddit's culture. Brand mentions only when genuinely relevant.
We turn high-performing organic angles into Reddit Ads, Promoted Posts, and Conversation Ads. Paid media amplifies what's already working.
Useful answers, comparison threads, and consistent participation build Reddit credibility. These assets shape how buyers and AI see your brand.
Reputation work is only as credible as its discretion. We don't publish brand names. Category, scope, and results only.
From near-zero mentions to consistent presence across your category subreddits. Tracked weekly.
Brand starts surfacing when ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini answer category queries. Measured monthly.
Move from invisible to a top-mentioned brand in your category. Measured monthly against direct competitors.

Most agencies list Reddit as a "supporting channel." We treat it as the entire brief. That's the difference.
When AI answers the question, the cited source isn't your blog.
SOURCE · Upvote internal analysis, 2026
Only 11% of citations overlap across the 4 major AI engines. Single-engine optimization misses three quarters of your AI visibility. The engine-by-engine breakdown.
Reddit is the #1 source ChatGPT cites for 'best Korean food' queries. 87% of instant-ramyeon AI citations come from Reddit threads. The 5-tier subreddit map.
K-beauty's AI citation map is mature in skincare. The 12-month opening is hair, scalp, body, and at-home devices. Brands that build Reddit footprint now own 2027 AI answers.
Yes. Reddit Ads media is billed to your account and separate from our retainer. The retainer is fixed monthly and already includes management of the ad budget, so it doesn't scale linearly with spend.
Generative Engine Optimization. The practice of building Reddit anchor posts and quality signals so ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini cite your brand favorably when users ask product questions. Google SEO optimizes your website; GEO optimizes the AI answer itself.
6-month minimum, 1 year recommended. Reddit results compound on accumulated reputation. 2 to 3 months rarely produces measurable lift. Treat 3 months as "the earliest we see signal," not "enough."
Multiple K-beauty and K-D2C brands already have, though most still trail US-native brands that are Reddit-native. The variable isn't country of origin. It's whether the brand participates natively. Follow the rules, join the conversation, and Redditors don't discriminate by origin.
Upvote is built for B2C and D2C consumer brands. K-beauty, fashion, F&B, lifestyle D2C. B2B SaaS and IoT hardware tend to live on LinkedIn and G2, so Reddit ROI is lower. We screen for category fit during the intake call and will tell you directly if it isn't a match.
All three matter and they work together. TikTok and Instagram drive the early stage of the customer journey, where buyers build awareness and desire. Reddit drives the late stage, where buyers actually decide.
We work with brands whose monthly Reddit budget starts around ₩8M. We take on a limited number of Korean brands at a time. Tell us about yours and we'll be in touch.
