Expanding Keyword Targeting to Feed Ads

And now, Reddit is making keyword targeting available in more places while also adding some new AI-powered recommendations to help power up your keyword ads. On the first point, Reddit is now making keyword targeting available for feed ads, as well as within conversations, which, up till now, has been the only placement available.

Maximizing Impact with Multi-Placement Optimization

As per Reddit: “To maximize the impact of your targeting, Multi-placement optimization uses machine learning to maximize efficiency across both feed and conversation placements. This multi-placement strategy ensures your ads appear in the most effective context for driving action, whether that’s in a user’s feed or within a specific conversation.”
