| Focus | Reputation defense | Offensive growth |

Pre-Roll Hook
"Before we start — do this right now. Open ChatGPT. Type 'What's the best [whatever you sell]?' and hit enter. Look at the list it gives you. Are you on it? Because your buyers are doing this every single day, and if you're not in that answer, you're invisible to the fastest-growing acquisition channel in B2B."
"My name is [Presenter]. I've been doing growth marketing for over 20 years and I've been marketing on Reddit since it launched. We've helped over 70 companies get their brands into AI search results using Reddit. I'm going to walk you through exactly how we do it."
Pattern interrupt → credibility. Viewer does the ChatGPT exercise themselves — creates immediate emotional stakes. Then a 15-second "who I am" beat establishes authority.
Headline + Result Claim
"Here's what we do. We take the content you're already creating — your blogs, your LinkedIn posts, your YouTube content — and we distribute it across the right Reddit communities so that when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overview about your category, your brand shows up in the answer. We do this within 4 to 6 weeks. We've done it for over 70 companies."
"Here's what that means for you concretely. ChatGPT brand mentions within 4 to 6 weeks. And we're not asking you to create anything new. We take what's already working and put it where it matters. You don't need a $25K/month agency contract. You don't need to risk your reputation on bots. And you maintain full control — nothing goes live without your approval."
Headline → sub-headline → quantifiable result → pain bullets. Each bullet pre-handles an objection from real sales calls: cost, effort, ban risk, control.
Disqualifier
"Quick note before we go deeper. This only works if you have existing content. A blog, LinkedIn posts, something. We're not a content creation agency. We're a distribution engine. If you have zero content, this isn't for you. But if you're already publishing and it's not showing up in AI search — keep watching."
"No content = no fit" is a proven failure pattern from campaign data. Disqualifying on content (not revenue like Novantro's $50K/mo) is honest and operational.
Table of Contents
"Here's what I'll cover so you can skip ahead if you want. Why AI search matters, how the Reddit-to-AI pipeline works, what your competitors are doing right now, our system, real results, and how to get started with a free audit. Let's go."
B2B buyers don't waste time. Give them chapter controls.
The AI Search Shift
"Here's why this matters right now. AI search is up 527% year over year. That's not a small bump. That's a fundamental change in how your buyers find products. Half of B2B buyers — 50% — now start their product research by asking ChatGPT or Perplexity instead of Googling. Think about that. The person evaluating your software right now might never visit your website. They might never see your blog post. They ask AI, AI gives them a list, and they start calling the companies on that list. If you're not on that list, you don't exist to that buyer."
"Now here's the connection. Semrush just analyzed 230,000 prompts across 100 million citations — the largest study of where AI gets its answers. And the number one source these AI tools pull from isn't your website. It isn't your blog. It isn't even Wikipedia. It's Reddit. Reddit threads. Reddit conversations. That's what AI trusts. Because Reddit is where real people share real opinions. AI systems are trained to treat that as the most authentic signal. So the question becomes: are those Reddit conversations mentioning you? Or your competitors?"
"Let me show you what this looks like right now. I went into ChatGPT and typed 'What's the best [category]?' Here's the answer. [Competitor 1] is mentioned. [Competitor 2] is mentioned. [Competitor 3] gets a recommendation. But [Prospect's company]? Not there. Not even as an alternative. Not in the fine print. Completely absent. This is what your buyers see. Every single day. And they're making purchasing decisions based on it."
"Here's why. When someone writes about your product in a Reddit thread — a review, a comparison, a recommendation — AI tools index that thread. When a buyer asks 'what's the best X?', AI pulls from those indexed threads and puts them in the answer. No Reddit presence means no AI mentions. It's that direct. It's not complicated. It's just a pipeline that most companies haven't built yet."
Expanded from ~160 to ~400 words. Problem agitation now dwells on the pain: your buyer never sees you, competitors are on the list, you're invisible. Data-driven but emotional. The live ChatGPT demo is the highest-impact moment in the entire VSL.
Results + Evidence
3–4 real client screenshots: ChatGPT mentioning client brand, Google SERP with Reddit threads, before/after of Reddit presence.
"Before I explain the system, let me show you what the results actually look like. Because I can talk all day about why this matters — but results are what you care about. Here's [Client A]. Before working with us, they had zero Reddit presence in their category. Zero threads. Zero mentions. When you asked ChatGPT about their space, they didn't exist. We started distributing their existing content — their blog posts, their case studies — into the right Reddit communities. Within 6 weeks, ChatGPT started mentioning them as a recommended solution. Here's the before — not mentioned anywhere. Here's the after — mentioned alongside [major competitor]. That's not traffic. That's not impressions. That's appearing in the answer your buyer gets when they ask 'what should I buy?'"
"Let me give you a specific example. Chad Sakonchick built a Legal AI Chrome Extension. Good product, but nobody knew about it. He came to us before his Product Hunt launch. We built his Reddit presence — seeded the right conversations, got authentic engagement going in the subreddits where his buyers hang out. Result: number 2 on Product Hunt. Over 1,000 downloads in a few days. Not over months. Days. And the Reddit threads kept compounding after the launch — they're still driving traffic and AI citations today."
"And it's not just one example. Naomi, the CMO at cloudHQ, says they wouldn't dream of launching without us. Kieran Ball calls us the most knowledgeable team he's found for social platform launches. Jeremy Palmer has worked with us since 2008 — nearly two decades. These aren't random people. These are experienced founders and marketers who've tried everything else and keep coming back."
"So what can you expect? First AI mention within 4 to 6 weeks. That's a typical timeline — some companies see it faster. We've done this for over 70 companies now. And the thing that makes this different from ads or any other channel is that the results compound. A Reddit thread you build today will still be ranking on Google and getting cited by AI a year from now. Two years from now. You're not renting attention — you're building an asset."
Expanded from ~250 to ~600 words. Full narrative case study (Chad/PH), testimonial collage with 4 named people, compounding value framing. Fazio principle: evidence first, then explain. Every claim has a name behind it.
The Competitor Gap
"Now let me show you the gap that's costing you deals right now. This is what we find for almost every company we audit. Here's your competitor. 47 Reddit threads where real users recommend them. Present in 12 relevant subreddits. ChatGPT mentions them. Perplexity cites them. Now here's you. Zero. Zero. No. No. Across the board. And this isn't because they have a better product than you. You and I both know that's not what's happening. They have a distribution strategy that puts their brand where AI is looking. You don't. It's that simple."
"And here's the part that keeps me up at night for our prospects. Reddit threads don't expire. They're not like ads that stop when you stop paying. They compound. Every month your competitor builds more threads, those threads get cited more by AI, which makes their brand stronger in AI answers, which makes them harder to displace. It's a flywheel. The companies starting today are writing themselves into AI's permanent memory. Every month you wait, the gap gets wider and harder to close. This isn't me being dramatic — this is just how compounding content works. It's the same reason SEO compounds. First movers build an advantage that gets more expensive to overcome every quarter."
"Let me put this in business terms. If AI search is now how 50% of buyers start their research — and you're missing from those answers — how many deals are you losing? Even one deal per month is tens of thousands in recurring revenue. Over a year, that compounds into hundreds of thousands in pipeline that went to whoever showed up in the AI answer instead of you. I'm not going to give you some fake '$82,000 a day' number — but the real cost of being invisible in AI search is significant, and it grows every month you're absent."
Expanded from ~140 to ~400 words. Direct competitor comparison + compounding urgency + honest loss framing. Explicitly rejects Novantro's inflated math while still making the dollar case.
How Our System Works
"Here's how our system works. Step one — we audit your existing content. Your blogs, your LinkedIn, your YouTube. We identify what's already working and what has the best chance of performing on Reddit. Step two — our system distributes that content across targeted subreddits. Not random posting. Targeted distribution to the communities where your buyers already hang out. Step three — AI indexes those threads. Within 4 to 6 weeks, ChatGPT and Perplexity start citing your brand. Step four — your buyers find you."
"Now, why agent plus human? Because Reddit has the most aggressive anti-spam detection of any platform. Pure automation gets you banned. We've seen companies spend tens of thousands on bot services, only to have every account banned within weeks. Manual posting works but doesn't scale — you'd need a full-time person at $150K a year. Our approach uses AI agents guided by human reviewers. The agent does the research and drafting. The human ensures it's authentic, follows each subreddit's culture, and won't get flagged. That's how we've done this for 70+ companies without getting banned."
"Let me show you everything that's actually involved in doing this right. Because people think you just post on Reddit. That's like saying you just 'write an email' to do cold outreach. Each subreddit has different rules, different culture, different moderator styles. You need to write content that provides genuine value — not promotion. You need to maintain account health. Track which threads actually get indexed by AI. Monitor for removal. A/B test formats. Manage timing. It's 15 to 20 hours a week of specialized work if you tried to do it yourself. That's why we exist."
Complexity reveal — show all the steps to justify the price. Directly attacks the "I'll just do it myself" objection.
Everything Included
"Here's everything you get when you work with us. First, a personalized Reddit audit — which is free. We do this before you commit to anything. It shows you your current Reddit presence, your competitors' presence, and the opportunity gap. Then — content intelligence, subreddit research, agent-plus-human distribution, AI mention tracking, negative thread monitoring, monthly reporting, and a dedicated Slack channel. We handle everything."
Your Three Options
"You have three options. One — do it yourself. That's 15 to 20 hours a week, high ban risk, no AI tracking, and a steep learning curve. Two — hire a premium agency. That's $15K to $40K a month, and most of them treat Reddit as an afterthought. They give you vanity metrics. Some of them are still using bots behind the scenes. Three — Launch Club. A fraction of the cost, your own content adapted for Reddit, agent-plus-human posting that doesn't get banned, and AI mention tracking that shows you exactly when ChatGPT starts citing you."
Sell against alternatives without naming competitors. "Premium agency at $15K–$40K/month with vanity metrics" = indirect shot. Argue your side only.
Risk Reversal
"I know what you're thinking. You've probably been burned by an agency before. Maybe you paid someone $20,000 a month and got a spreadsheet of vanity metrics. Or someone promised you leads and delivered spam. I get it. That's why we've structured this to be as low-risk as possible. First — we start with a free Reddit audit. Before you spend a single dollar, we show you your current Reddit presence, your competitors' presence, and the exact opportunity gap. If there's no opportunity, we'll tell you. We don't want to work with companies where the channel doesn't fit. Second — if you want to move forward, we offer a $1,500 trial month. 40 real Reddit comments with brand mentions, placed in threads that are already getting search traffic. It's a proof run. Not a commitment. You see real results before you go to a monthly plan. Third — you approve everything. Nothing goes live without your sign-off. Full transparency. Slack channel. Weekly reports. You see what we're posting, where, and why. If at any point you don't like what you see, you can pause."
Missing from v1 entirely. Novantro has 45-day money-back guarantee. We lead with free audit (lower barrier) + $1,500 trial (from website pricing) + approval control. Addresses "burned by agencies" objection directly.

Strategic Reasoning
1. Lead with AI search, not Reddit
"Reddit marketing" sounds niche. "Get into ChatGPT's answer" is a universal business outcome. Campaign data confirms: "ChatGPT mentions" resonates more than "Reddit distribution."
2. Free Reddit audit CTA, not pricing reveal
Fazio: reveal pricing when it's cheap enough to sell itself. Launch Club's $2,500–$4,000/mo is standard agency pricing. The free audit is the proven entry point (117 interested replies in campaigns).
3. Disqualify on content, not revenue
Novantro disqualifies on "$50K/month revenue." Our validated data: "no content = no fit" is the real operational filter.
4. Credible claims only
Novantro claims "$50K revenue guarantee" and "$82K/month loss." We claim "AI mentions in 4–6 weeks" — specific, measurable, proven across 70+ companies.
5. Agent + Human beats aged accounts
Novantro leads with "300+ aged accounts" — sounds like astroturfing. "Agent + human in the loop" is more honest and defensible.
6. Results before mechanism
Critical fix from v1. Fazio shows results first, then explains the system. Original draft had the reverse. Now: proof → competitor gap → how it works.
7. Real testimonials, not campaign reply data
Critical fix from v1. Original used cold email reply quotes as "evidence" — those are LeadGrow's outbound campaign data, not Launch Club client results. Now uses named testimonials from launchclub.ai.
8. Risk reversal closes the gap
New in v2. Free audit + $1,500 trial + approval control addresses the #1 objection from sales calls: "I've been burned by agencies before." Novantro's 45-day money-back guarantee is a higher barrier — we de-risk earlier in the funnel.
