Leado Platform Help

Helps the user with Leado platform questions — from lead discovery setup and AI reply tuning through Karma Builder, Viral Template Library, opportunity scoring, and compliance.

Step 1 — Gather context

If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask the user:

1. What area of Leado do you need help with?
   • A) Lead discovery — finding relevant Reddit leads, tuning keywords
   • B) AI replies — improving reply quality, customizing tone
   • C) Karma Builder — building Reddit credibility before engaging
   • D) Viral Template Library — creating posts that get traction
   • E) Opportunity scoring — understanding 0-100 scores, filtering leads
   • F) Compliance — avoiding bans, following community guidelines
   • G) Account/billing — plan features, upgrading
   • H) Something else — describe it

1. What plan are you on?

   • A) Free ($0/mo — 10 leads, 10 subreddits, 1 product)
   • B) Pro ($29.99/mo — unlimited leads, 15 subreddits)
   • C) Enterprise (custom — 30+ subreddits, multiple products)

2. What are you trying to accomplish? (describe your specific goal)

If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.

Step 2 — Route or answer directly

If the request maps to a specialized skill, route:

• Social listening strategy or tool comparison → /sales-social-listening [question]
• Reddit monitoring strategy across tools → /sales-social-listening [question]
• Prospect list building → /sales-prospect-list
• Outbound cadence or sequence strategy → /sales-cadence

Otherwise, answer directly from platform knowledge using the reference below.

Step 3 — Leado platform reference

Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, workflow recipes, and integration patterns.

Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.

Step 4 — Actionable guidance

Based on the user's specific question:

1. Lead discovery — optimize product description and URL, refine what Leado monitors, improve lead relevance
2. Reply quality — customize AI reply context, add product-specific details, always edit before posting
3. Karma building — use Karma Builder before engaging, establish credibility in target subreddits
4. Safety — follow Reddit TOS, space out replies, avoid self-promotion rules, use compliance engine
5. Plan optimization — decide when to upgrade from Free to Pro

If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in references/learnings.md, append it there.

Gotchas

Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and Reddit safety that may be outdated.

• Free tier is a trial, not a plan. 10 leads per month with 1 product slot and 10 subreddits. Enough to evaluate lead quality but not for ongoing lead gen. Expect to upgrade to Pro ($29.99/mo) quickly.

• No public API or webhooks. Leado claims Slack, Discord, and email notifications but has no documented API or webhook endpoints. You cannot export leads programmatically or integrate into automation pipelines.

• Opportunity scoring is opaque. The 0-100 score with badges (High, Medium, Low) isn't explained methodologically. Calibrate by reviewing the first 20-30 leads and noting which score ranges produce genuine prospects.

• Karma Builder is essential before engaging. Posting promotional replies from a fresh Reddit account is the fastest path to a ban. Use Karma Builder to establish credibility first — this takes days, not hours.

• Pro features gate real value. Google indexing check, Advanced Post Generation, Advanced Karma Builder, and Viral Template Library are all Pro-only. The free plan tests lead discovery quality, not the full workflow.

• Hourly scan frequency. Leads refresh hourly (upgraded from every 2 hours in Dec 2025). For time-sensitive Reddit threads, this may still be too slow — manual monitoring may catch opportunities faster.

• Self-improving: If you discover something not covered here, append it to references/learnings.md with today's date.

Examples

Example 1: Leads aren't relevant

User says: "Leado keeps finding Reddit threads that mention my keywords but the people aren't actually looking for a solution like mine" Skill does:

1. Reviews how the user configured their product URL and description in Leado
2. Suggests refining the product description to be more specific about the problem they solve
3. Recommends filtering by opportunity score — focus on High and Medium-High badges
4. Advises checking which subreddits produce the best leads and dropping noisy ones Result: User has a strategy for improving lead relevance

Example 2: Building credibility before outreach

User says: "I just signed up for Leado Pro. How do I start replying to leads without getting my Reddit account banned?" Skill does:

1. Explains that jumping straight into product replies from a new account triggers bans
2. Recommends using Karma Builder to generate genuine participation first
3. Suggests spending 1-2 weeks building karma in target subreddits before any promotional replies
4. Notes Reddit's self-promotion guidelines (10:1 ratio of genuine content to promotional) Result: User has a credibility-building plan before engaging leads

Example 3: Choosing the right plan

User says: "I'm on the free plan and already used my 10 leads. Is Pro worth $30/mo or should I try something cheaper?" Skill does:

1. Confirms Free tier's 10-lead/mo cap — designed as a trial
2. Compares Pro ($29.99/mo, unlimited leads) against Leadlee ($12/mo, cheapest alternative) and KeyMentions ($39/mo, includes auto-publish)
3. Notes Pro unlocks Viral Template Library and Advanced Karma Builder — useful if lead quality was good during trial
4. Suggests evaluating whether the first 10 leads showed genuine prospects; if not, compare alternatives via /sales-social-listening Result: User makes an informed upgrade decision

Troubleshooting

AI replies sound generic

Symptom: AI-generated replies are vague, don't mention your product naturally, or feel like templates Cause: Leado's AI doesn't have enough context about your product's specific value proposition and use cases Solution: Update your product description with specific pain points your product solves, key differentiators, and real customer language. Always edit AI drafts before posting — add a sentence that directly addresses the thread's specific question. Never post AI drafts verbatim.

Opportunity scores seem random

Symptom: High-scoring leads (80+) aren't actually interested buyers, while genuinely interested threads score low Cause: The opportunity scoring algorithm weighs signals that may not align with your specific market Solution: Track your first 30 leads and note which score ranges actually convert to conversations. Create your own threshold — e.g., "only engage with 60+ scores in r/SaaS but 40+ in niche subreddits." Use scores as a filter, not as gospel.

Reddit account getting flagged

Symptom: Comments removed by mods, shadowban warnings, or DM restrictions after using Leado Cause: Posting replies too frequently, replies too promotional, or engaging before building enough karma Solution: Use Karma Builder for at least 1-2 weeks before any promotional engagement. Follow Reddit's self-promotion guidelines. Space out replies — no more than 2-3 per day across different subreddits. Make replies genuinely helpful first, product mention second. Use the compliance engine to check replies before posting.
