Canadian Repair Lead Monitor

Canadian-First Strategy: Monitor local Canadian communities for repair opportunities before global subreddits. Focus on where your customers actually live and seek local repair services.

⚠️ START HERE

🎯 Canadian Communities First - NOT Global Subreddits

Why Canadian-First? Global subreddits dilute local repair opportunities with international discussions. Target Canadian users seeking local repair services in their own communities.

Key Features:

  • Canadian Priority: 15+ major Canadian cities (Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, etc.)
  • Search RSS Feeds: Targeted keyword searches within Canadian subreddits
  • Local Focus: Users seeking local repair shops and services
  • Conversation Tracking: Subscribe to repair-related thread discussions

🔍 RSS Feed Types

Search RSS Feeds (Primary Method)

Target repair keywords within Canadian subreddits:

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

Examples:

  • Toronto iPhone repairs: q=iPhone+repair+OR+"screen+broken"
  • Vancouver laptops: q=laptop+repair+OR+"won't+turn+on"
  • General repairs: q="looking+for+repair"+OR+"need+repair"

Standard Subreddit RSS (Supplemental)

Full subreddit feeds (use sparingly to avoid overload):

https://www.reddit.com/r/[subreddit]/new/.rss

Feed options:

  • new/.rss - Latest posts
  • hot/.rss - Popular/trending posts

Troubleshooting

RSS feed not loading?

  1. Verify the subreddit name is correct
  2. Check if the subreddit is private or restricted
  3. Try accessing the subreddit directly in a browser first
  4. Some subreddits may have RSS disabled

Too many/few results?

  1. Consider using hot/.rss instead of new/.rss for higher quality posts
  2. Monitor multiple related subreddits for better coverage
  3. Focus on regional subreddits for local repair opportunities
