What AI tells buyers when they ask which tool to use. And what we do about it.

Domains cited across all 75 answers. These are the pages the engines actually read. Getting mentioned on them is what moves the numbers above.
Reddit was not cited once for these questions. That means nobody has claimed it. Not Coldtea, not any competitor.

Highest CPC. Advertisers pay most for these clicks, so buyers are close to purchase.
Every keyword Coldtea could realistically win. 24 keywords were cut, mostly other companies' brand names like warp terminal and cline, plus code review terms. Coldtea cannot rank for those and would not want the traffic.

We post on Reddit as an engineer, not as Coldtea. Two posts a week.
One post a week is written to get traction in the subreddit that day. Real discussion, real comments, traffic on the same day it goes up.
The other post a week is written to rank in Google for a specific question buyers search. That one is slower. It keeps pulling traffic for months after it goes up.
| What | Target |
|---|---|
| Posts live | 16 to 20 |
| Clicks to coldtea.ai | 1,000 a month |
| Posts that land hard | 2 to 3 |
1,000 clicks a month is realistic. Being straight with you about how it happens: it does not come evenly from 20 posts. Most posts do fine and send a bit of traffic. Two or three posts land properly and send most of the 1,000. That is how Reddit works. We plan for it by posting enough to get those hits, not by expecting every post to win.
| What | Now | Month 3 |
|---|---|---|
| AI answers naming Coldtea | 0% | 12 to 18% |
| Share of voice | 0% | 6 to 10% |
| Prompts Coldtea appears in | 0 of 25 | 8 to 12 of 25 |
Google rankings take 2 to 3 months to show up. The Reddit posts we write in week 1 are what rank in month 3. Same for AI answers. The engines need the content to exist before they can quote it.
We re-run the same 25 prompts every month so you can see the number move. Same test every time, so the comparison is real.
Medium posts. AI engines quote Medium a lot. Same content strategy, second surface, and it costs us little extra once the Reddit post is written.
If we spot things on your own site that are stopping you ranking, we tell you. Titles, page structure, missing comparison pages. We are not rebuilding your site. We just pass on what we see while we are in the data.
Ordered by how active each subreddit is on Coldtea's exact topics. Not by size.
Real threads already running on these topics: "AI Coding Agents Broke My App, here is the regression system that kinda works" in r/ClaudeAI. "Killed regression pain in my SaaS by pairing my test agent with Claude Code" in r/saasbuild. "Claude Code redesigned for parallel agentic work", 366 upvotes and 118 comments. The audience is already talking about this.
Weeks 1 to 3 the account does not mention Coldtea at all. It posts about agent workflows, regressions and test maintenance, and comments more than it posts. An account that shows up and immediately recommends a tool gets called out and downvoted.
Weeks 4 to 8 Coldtea gets mentioned as one option among several, always next to real alternatives.
Weeks 9 to 12 we write direct experience posts. Specific numbers, honest about what Coldtea does not do, cost included.
