Leadverse Platform Help

Helps the user with Leadverse platform questions — from keyword setup and lead scoring through AI reply optimization, multi-platform monitoring, and alert configuration.

Step 1 — Gather context

If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask the user:

1. What area of Leadverse do you need help with?

   • A) Keywords — setting up, tuning for relevance, reducing noise
   • B) Lead scoring — understanding scores, filtering irrelevant matches
   • C) AI replies — finding AI suggestions, improving quality
   • D) Platform coverage — Reddit vs X vs LinkedIn prioritization
   • E) Alerts — Slack or email notification setup
   • F) Competitor analysis — tracking competitors on social
   • G) Billing — plan differences, upgrading from Explorer
   • H) Something else — describe it

2. What's your goal? (describe your specific question or problem)

If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to Step 2. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.

Step 2 — Route or answer directly

If the request maps to a specialized skill, route:

• Social listening strategy or tool comparison → /sales-social-listening [question]
• Reddit-specific monitoring (depth over breadth) → /sales-threadlytics [question] or /sales-syften [question]
• Buyer intent signals and prioritization → /sales-intent [question]
• Contact enrichment → /sales-enrich [question]

Otherwise, answer directly from the platform reference below.

Step 3 — Leadverse platform reference

Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, keyword strategy, alert setup, and comparison with alternatives.

Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.

Step 4 — Actionable guidance

You no longer need the platform guide — focus on the user's specific situation.

1. Keyword tuning — use the AI keyword generator first, then refine with buyer-intent phrases ("looking for", "alternative to", "recommend")
2. Lead scoring — focus on high-relevance matches first; Leadverse scores by product-description match, not explicit intent scoring
3. Platform prioritization — start with Reddit (Explorer tier), add X and LinkedIn only when Reddit proves your ICP is active there
4. Reply quality — AI reply suggestions exist but are not prominently displayed; always edit before posting
5. Alert routing — use Slack for real-time lead notifications, email for daily digests

If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in references/learnings.md, append it there.

Gotchas

Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.

• Explorer ($19/mo) is Reddit-only. X and LinkedIn require Founder ($29/mo) or Business ($39/mo). If you need multi-platform from day one, start on Founder.
• No API, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make. Leadverse is entirely UI-driven with Slack and email alerts only. No way to push leads to a CRM programmatically — manual export or copy-paste.
• 7-day default date range. The search window defaults to 7 days, which misses older validated threads. Adjust the date range manually for deeper historical prospecting.
• AI reply suggestions are hidden. The feature exists but isn't prominently surfaced in the UI. Look for it in the lead detail view after selecting a match.
• Lead scoring is relevance-based, not intent-based. Leadverse scores how well a post matches your product description, not whether the poster is actively looking to buy. High scores can include casual discussions, not just purchase-ready leads.
• No auto-reply or auto-publish. All engagement is manual — Leadverse finds leads and suggests replies, but you post from your own Reddit/X/LinkedIn account.

Examples

Example 1: Set up monitoring for a new SaaS product

User says: "I just launched a project management tool and want to find people on Reddit asking for PM alternatives" Skill does:

1. Recommends starting on Explorer ($19/mo) since Reddit-only is sufficient initially
2. Uses AI keyword generator with the product description to generate initial keyword set
3. Refines keywords with buyer-intent phrases ("alternative to Asana", "looking for PM tool", "recommend project management")
4. Sets up Slack alerts for real-time lead notifications Result: Reddit monitoring running with targeted keywords and Slack alerts

Example 2: Improve lead relevance

User says: "Half the leads Leadverse shows me are people just complaining about tools, not actually looking to switch" Skill does:

1. Reviews current keyword list for overly broad terms
2. Adds buyer-intent modifiers ("looking for", "switch from", "anyone tried")
3. Recommends adjusting date range to focus on recent active discussions
4. Suggests reviewing AI-generated keywords and pruning generic ones Result: Lead feed filtered to higher-relevance conversations

Example 3: Push Leadverse leads to a CRM

User says: "How do I get Leadverse leads into HubSpot automatically?" Skill does:

1. Notes Leadverse has no API, webhooks, or Zapier — no direct CRM integration
2. Recommends workaround: Slack alert → Zapier/Make trigger on Slack message → parse lead details → create HubSpot contact
3. Walks through Slack-to-HubSpot Zapier setup
4. Notes this is lossy — only gets the alert text, not structured lead data Result: Partial automation via Slack middleware, with caveat about data quality

Troubleshooting

Leads are mostly irrelevant discussions

Symptom: High volume of leads but most are casual conversations, not people looking to buy Cause: Keywords are too generic or product description is too broad Solution: Refine keywords with buyer-intent language ("looking for", "recommend", "alternative to [competitor]"). Remove single-word keywords. Narrow to specific subreddits if possible. Review the AI-generated keyword suggestions and prune the ones that are topically related but not purchase-intent related.

AI reply suggestions not appearing

Symptom: Can see leads but no AI reply drafts Cause: Reply suggestions are not prominently displayed in the UI — they exist but are easy to miss Solution: Click into the individual lead detail view. Look for the AI reply/suggestion option — it may be behind a secondary button or expandable section. If still not visible, ensure your plan supports AI replies (Founder plan includes 300 auto-replies/mo).

Slack alerts not firing

Symptom: Leads appear in the Leadverse dashboard but Slack notifications don't arrive Cause: Slack integration not properly connected or alert preferences not configured Solution: Verify the Slack workspace connection in Leadverse settings. Check that the correct Slack channel is selected. Ensure real-time alerts are enabled (Founder plan required for real-time alerts — Explorer may not include them). Test with a new keyword that should match immediately.
