Keywords

About Keywords

A keyword is a word or phrase you want Reo to watch for. It could be your product name, a competitor, a technology, or anything.

Developers talk about tools in public, across developer forums and communities. Keywords surfaces those conversations for you, so you don't have to check them manually.

You can track keywords across the following developer communities:

• Reddit

• Stack Exchange

• Slack

• Hacker News

• Dev.to

• Product Hunt

Once you add a keyword, Reo starts scanning every developer community you've turned on, for that word. Whenever someone posts about it, it shows up in your list.

Note: Only open communities are tracked. Gated or invite-only communities, regardless of platform, are excluded. This ensures that only relevant, publicly available developer conversations are included in the insights.

Step 1: Open Keywords configuration

• From the left navigation menu, click Settings > select Configurations

• Within the Keywords card > select Configure

Step 2: Choose which communities to track

• At the top of the page > under Currently Tracking, you'll see the supported communities

• Each one has a toggle:

  • On = Reo searches that community for your keywords

  • Off = it doesn't

• Turn off any community that isn't relevant. For example, if your buyers don't use Product Hunt, turn it off

• This choice applies to every keyword you add

Step 3: Add what you want to track

• Under Keywords, type in a word or phrase

Key point: you can track up to 5 active keywords at a time. Toggle one off and another on whenever your priorities change.

• Each keyword has its own toggle (on to track it, off to pause it)

How you write it changes what it matches:

Type	Write it like this	Matches
Exact match	Postman	Just that word
Phrase	"API testing"	That exact phrase
Wildcard	Graph*	Any version, like GraphQL

Step 4: Check what's already been found

• Some keywords already show results with a View Conversations link next to it

• Select View Conversations to read the actual posts

No count shown yet? Reo hasn't found any mentions of that keyword

Step 5: Paused keywords keep their history

• Turning a keyword off only pauses the tracking, it doesn't delete anything

• Next to a paused keyword, you'll see an info icon. Hover over it to see when you turned tracking off

• Turn it back on any time, and everything it found before is still there

Step 6: Add more keywords

• Select + Add New Keyword for a new field

• Type in what you want to track, select Save
