Here's what we built and why it matters for finding better leads. Leedlime Team October 29, 2025 5 min read ![Image for blog Introducing Search Settings in Leedlime](/og/blog/introducing-search-settings.png) ## What Changed Before this update, Leedlime worked on AI-based automated suggestions. Our algorithm scanned Reddit and delivered leads based on what it thought was relevant. Users couldn’t add their own keywords or choose specific subreddits. This worked okay, but it had clear limitations. Different businesses use different terminology. What our algorithm considered relevant might not match what users actually needed. Now users can customize three main things: - **Custom Keywords** - Add any keyword or phrase you want to track. If your customers say “struggling with invoicing” instead of “need accounting software,” you can search for exactly that. - **Subreddit Selection** - Choose which Reddit communities to monitor. You might want r/smallbusiness but not r/entrepreneur. Or maybe you only care about niche industry subreddits. - **Competitor Monitoring** - Add or remove competitors to track. Your competitive landscape changes, and now your monitoring can change with it. ## Why This Matters Reddit moves fast. When someone posts asking for product recommendations, you have a few hours to respond before the post gets buried. Generic searches miss a lot of these opportunities. You need specific terms that match how your customers actually talk about their problems. For example, if you sell project management software, people might ask about “keeping track of team tasks” or “organizing client projects” instead of using the term “project management.” With custom keywords, you catch all these variations. ## Early Results Users started reporting better results within the first few days. - Finding more relevant leads with less noise - Catching conversations they would have missed before - Reducing time spent filtering through irrelevant posts - Higher response rates because they’re reaching the right people Overall, our customers really loved this feature and the complete control it offers. ## How to Set It Up Setting up Search Settings is straightforward. Here’s what works best: - **Start with 5–10 keywords**. Think about the specific problems your product solves. - **Pick 3–5 subreddits**. Focus on communities where your target customers are active. - **Add your main competitors**. Start with 2–3 top competitors. - **Refine over time**. Check what’s working and adjust. ## The Balance Between Automation and Control This update taught us something about building products. Automation is useful, but it can’t replace user knowledge. The best approach combines both. Automated scanning handles the heavy lifting of monitoring thousands of Reddit posts. User control ensures you’re looking for the right things. We still use our algorithm to rank and filter results. But now users decide what to search for in the first place. ## Try Search Settings If you’re already using Leedlime, you can access Search Settings in your dashboard. Not using Leedlime yet?

We made it happen. The results speak for themselves.
