r/smallbusiness: what people actually ask

Of those posts, 33 are someone asking for help rather than announcing something. Almost everything asked here gets an answer, which makes it a harder room to be useful in.

We counted 75 posts from the last 30 days through a public mirror. No Reddit API, no estimates. The numbers move, so the date is on the page.

The door

Can you promote here?

Comment first

Usually: Promotional posts are restricted; commenting on existing threads is open and is the right door here.

That is an inference from how the room behaves, not a quote from its rules. We never quote a rule or a karma number we have not read. Check the sidebar.

Evidence

What the questions look like

Real posts from the window we counted. They are the number, not an illustration of it.

These were live when we counted them. Threads get removed, so some may be gone by the time you read this.

Who it came up for

Businesses this room was named for

Our engine surfaced r/smallbusiness while working out where buyers are for SaaS, Web design agency.

Method

How these numbers were made

We read the room's last 30 days through a public archive, dropped anything removed, then classified each post as a question or an announcement using the same rule our product runs on internally. A post that both announces and asks counts as a question, because the person is still asking. Straight promotion and bot posts never count.

We do not use the Reddit commercial API. That is a deliberate choice: paying per call is what shut GummySearch down while it was still profitable.
