Canadian-First Repair Lead Workflow

🎯 Strategy Overview

Canadian Communities First: Focus on local Canadian subreddits before global ones. Global subreddits like r/techsupport dilute local repair opportunities with international discussions.

Keyword Search RSS: Use Reddit's search RSS feeds to find repair-related threads within Canadian communities, then subscribe to relevant conversations.

📍 Step 1: Start with Canadian Cities (NOT Global Subreddits)

Begin with major Canadian cities where local repair businesses operate:

Priority Order (Population-based):

Toronto (r/toronto) - Highest repair volume
Vancouver (r/vancouver) - Major metro area
Calgary (r/calgary) - Large city
Edmonton (r/edmonton) - Provincial capital
Montreal (r/montreal) - Quebec's largest city
Ottawa (r/ottawa) - National capital

Start Small: Begin with 2-3 cities you can actively monitor and engage with.

🔍 Step 2: Create Keyword Search RSS Feeds

For each Canadian city subreddit, create targeted search RSS feeds:

Search RSS URL Format

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

High-Impact Search Feeds

Subscribe to search RSS feeds in your RSS reader
Review new posts daily for repair opportunities
Subscribe to relevant threads where users are seeking local repair services
Engage in conversations by:
- Offering helpful repair advice

📈 Step 4: Expand Strategically

Phase 1: Master 2-3 Cities

Monitor Toronto + 1-2 other major cities
Perfect your engagement approach
Build conversion metrics

Phase 2: Add Medium Cities

Hamilton, Kitchener, London (Ontario)
Victoria, Kelowna (BC)
Winnipeg, Saskatoon (Prairies)

Phase 3: Provincial Coverage

Add provincial subreddits (r/Ontario, r/BritishColumbia, etc.)
Monitor for province-wide repair discussions

Phase 4: Specialized Global Supplementation

Add global subs like r/techsupport only after mastering local approach
Use global subs to supplement, not replace, local monitoring
