r/SEO — frequently asked
How many members does r/SEO have?
r/SEO has 515,308 members as of our most recent crawl on Oct 5. Prowlo re-checks tracked communities on a rolling schedule, so this figure moves rather than sitting frozen at whatever it was when a scraper last ran.
Is r/SEO growing?
We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/SEO yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Aug 8; the chart fills in as history accumulates.
How active is r/SEO?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/SEO yet. Subscriber count alone is a poor guide to whether a community is active, so treat this one as unverified until the next sample lands.
When was r/SEO created?
r/SEO was founded in March 2008 and is a public — anyone can post community. Age matters: an older community with steady growth has survived Reddit's moderation churn; a young one with a spike may not.

r/SEO publishes 9 rules and 2 of them address promotion. The first, “No Spamming”, says: No Spam, Self Promotion, Advertising, Brand Awareness etc including branded content, news roundups, posting how-to guides, community promotion Read the full rule text on this page and the community's rules page before posting — moderator enforcement is the thing that actually decides.
How do I monitor r/SEO for mentions?
Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/SEO into your Dataset — every new post indexed and embedded, searchable semantically, queryable by your AI agent over MCP, and able to trigger keyword alerts in Slack. Prowlo is read-only; it never posts on your behalf.
Can my AI agent read r/SEO's stats?
Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/SEO's members, growth, promo tolerance and similar communities as typed JSON — free, no credits. Connect your agent to api.prowlo.com/mcp and it can vet the community and start watching it in the same conversation.
