MentionSpot
Find leads on reddit and X on autopilot
About
MentionSpot is a social listening and lead-generation tool that helps businesses find potential buyers on Reddit and X at the exact moment they are looking for a solution.
Instead of relying on traditional cold outreach, MentionSpot monitors conversations across Reddit and X for keywords, questions, complaints, and discussions related to your product or industry. It identifies posts where people are actively expressing a problem, asking for recommendations, or showing buying intent.
For example, if you sell an SEO tool, MentionSpot can surface conversations where someone asks, “What’s a good tool to improve my Google rankings?” You can discover that conversation quickly and engage with the person while their intent is still fresh.
You can search for specific keywords, topics, competitors, or use cases, then turn relevant conversations into potential leads. This makes it useful for founders, marketers, sales teams, and agencies looking for high-intent prospects without spending hours manually searching Reddit and X.
The core idea is simple: don’t interrupt people with cold pitches—find people who are already asking for what you sell.
MentionSpot helps turn conversations into opportunities and makes social-based lead generation faster, more targeted, and easier to scale.

Over the course of maybe two or three months with maybe 10 experiments I was able to increase the conversion rate from 0.5% all the way up to 8% just by optimizing the onboarding and paywall. Suddenly growth skyrocketed, going from around $8K a month to over $30,000.
AB-tested paywalls took conversion 0.5% → 8% and revenue $8K → $30K in 2-3 months
Roughly 10 paywall and onboarding A/B tests over 2-3 months lifted paid conversion 16x on the same traffic, pushing revenue from $8K/mo to $30K+/mo. The unlock was treating the paywall — not the product itself — as the highest-leverage experimentation surface and letting event-analytics data, not opinion, decide each variant.
the really good thing with this one is all the traffic was from Facebook ads which means I can replicate it literally in a week because Facebook ads you just have to start it and you have the traffic
Use Ad Traffic as a Shortcut When SEO Would Take Too Long
When analyzing a competitor app, Samuel checks Ahrefs to understand where traffic comes from. If a competitor relies solely on ads, he sees it as a fast-entry opportunity — he can clone the ad strategy and get customers within days rather than waiting months for SEO. Ad-dependent competitors signal an immediately exploitable channel.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
