# Canadian Repair Keyword Search Strategy

## 🎯 **Search RSS Feed Approach**

Reddit supports search-based RSS feeds within specific subreddits. Use this format:

```
https://www.reddit.com/r/[subreddit]/search.rss?q=[keywords]&sort=new&type=link
```

### Example URLs
- Toronto repairs: `https://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/search.rss?q=repair+OR+fix+OR+broken+OR+not+working&sort=new&type=link`
- Vancouver iPhone: `https://www.reddit.com/r/vancouver/search.rss?q=iPhone+repair+OR+iPhone+broken&sort=new&type=link`

## 🔍 **Repair Keyword Categories**

### Device-Specific Keywords
```
MacBook: "macbook repair" OR "macbook broken" OR "macbook fix" OR "macbook not working"
iPhone: "iphone repair" OR "iphone broken" OR "iphone screen" OR "iphone fix"
Laptop: "laptop repair" OR "laptop broken" OR "computer fix" OR "laptop not working"

```

### Problem-Specific Keywords

```

### Service Keywords

### Test & Refine
1. **Start with broad searches** to establish baseline activity

3. **Monitor conversion rates** from views to repair leads
4. **Adjust search frequency** (daily → weekly → monthly as needed)

### Quality Metrics
- **Relevance**: How many posts are actual repair requests?

- **Volume**: Sustainable lead generation without overload?

### Expansion Plan
1. **Add more cities** as you handle current load

## 🛠️ **Technical Implementation**

### RSS Reader Setup
- Use Feedly, Inoreader, or similar RSS reader
- Create folders by city/province
- Set up notifications for new repair posts
- Archive old posts systematically

### Search URL Construction
```javascript
// Template for creating search URLs
const createSearchUrl = (subreddit, keywords) => {
  const encodedKeywords = encodeURIComponent(keywords);
  return `https://www.reddit.com/r/${subreddit}/search.rss?q=${encodedKeywords}&sort=new&type=link`;
};

// Example usage
createSearchUrl('toronto', 'iPhone repair OR "screen broken"');
```

This approach gives you targeted access to repair conversations within Canadian communities, allowing you to engage with local repair seekers in real-time.
