How it works

  1. Step 1

    Track hiring requests

    Search phrases like "looking for an SEO agency", "PR agency recommendations", or "need help with paid ads".

  2. Step 2

    Watch across communities

    Run them on Reddit, Hacker News, and more; X and LinkedIn are included on the Scale plan.

  3. Step 3

    Pitch with context

    Each result links to the original post, so your reply speaks to the brief they actually wrote.

Why agencies use Needle

Agencies win work by being early and relevant when a company starts looking for help.

  • Find active briefs

    Companies posting about needing SEO audits, launch PR, or ad campaigns.

  • Spot unhappy clients

    Teams complaining about their current agency are often ready to switch.

  • Keep clients separate

    Give each client its own brand monitor with its own keywords - up to 5 on Scale.

Frequently asked questions

Setup, limits, and every platform are covered in the docs.

How quickly will we see new requests?
Manual searches return results in minutes. Auto Search re-runs on a schedule - every 12-24 hours on Solo, as often as every 4 hours on Growth, and as often as hourly on Scale.
Can we track several clients?
Yes. Each brand monitor has its own keywords and networks: 1 on Solo, 3 on Growth, and 5 on Scale.
