Red-engage

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP and head of marketing of FloatMe, a financial services company. We offer a mobile app that provides cash advances, spending insights, budgeting tools, and savings opportunities to help users improve their financial well-being.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Red-engage?

We hired Red-engage to run a generative engine optimization campaign. We wanted AI answer engines to accurately cite our app, understand our fee structure, and recommend FloatMe for micro-advance queries.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Red-engage provides a three-person team, including a strategist, a content specialist, and an account manager. They audit our visibility across LLM prompts, add an llms.txt file to our root domain, and update our product page schema to clearly define our borrowing limits. They also update our entity profiles on financial directories used by AI crawlers. Red-engage creates content and manages the strategy.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from Red-engage.

How did you come to work with Red-engage?

We found them through an online search. Their pricing fit our budget and offered good value for the cost.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $30,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in March 2026, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

In 90 days, FloatMe appeared in 48% of ChatGPT recommendations for our five target prompts, up from zero. Direct sign-ups from Perplexity and Claude links increased by 34%, bringing in 1,400 new accounts every month. Google AI overviews also began placing our app in three results for emergency cash queries.Red-engage runs weekly prompt tests across fresh sessions with no user history to record how often our app appears. For Perplexity and Claude, we track user sign-ups directly in Google Analytics 4 using their referral source domains.We also check that AI answers state our fee structure accurately, track how often models name FloatMe alongside rivals like Dave, and record a 15% faster onboarding completion rate from AI visitors.

How did Red-engage perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team meets every deadline across our three-month project. We run weekly 20-minute video check-ins and use Slack for daily updates. When our compliance team requests edits to our loan disclosures, their engineer updates the structured schema within four hours.

What did you find most impressive or unique about them?

They understand the actual language model architecture of just rebranding traditional SEO. They focus on entity relationships, vector databases, and real technical markup that directly alters how AI systems cite our product.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their early technical audit is heavy on developer jargon, which requires a call to explain to our non-technical staff. Providing built tracking templates for teams, without dedicated internal dashboards, would also streamline the onboarding phase.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of growth marketing for a vertically integrated mortgage infrastructure platform. We automate the entire mortgage lifecycle, enabling brokers, lenders, and fintechs to launch mortgage products more efficiently and at lower costs through API-driven solutions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Red-engage?

We needed a dedicated partner who understood generative engine optimization (GEO) and could generate authoritative third-party trust signals without traditional link-spamming.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Red-engage has performed an extensive AI visibility baseline audit across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude, followed by a two-step engagement. First, they’ve done technical GEO and entity work. The team has implemented extensive schema markup rewrites (organization, product, and tech article JSON-LD), deployed and tuned LLMs text files to a uniform standard, and optimized our documentation content for quotation readiness by models.Second, they’ve done Reddit-native trust building. With an understanding that the LLMs community votes Reddit as an authentic source of sentiment, Red-engage has embedded our product into the organic conversations on the subreddit platforms, including r/fintech, r/treasury, r/startup, etc., without using any spamming tactics but rather providing useful technical commentary on settlement architecture features in which our platform is showcased.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from Red-engage.

How did you come to work with Red-engage?

We found them through an online search. Their pricing fit our budget, and they offered good value for the cost.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $10,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in May 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Within 60 days, our citation presence across Perplexity and ChatGPT jumped from 0% on target commercial prompts to appearing in 42% of relevant category queries. By the third month, we achieved our first closed-won enterprise contract ($48,000 ARR) directly attributed to a prospective client discovering us via a Perplexity citation.Additionally, organic referral traffic from high-intent Reddit threads increased by 210%, with visitors spending an average of four minutes on our API documentation page. Our lead quality was very poor, and we’ve seen a 25% increase in conversion rates. We’ve also noticed ranking improvements in the top five results.

How did Red-engage perform from a project management standpoint?

Communication has been clear and direct. We work within a shared Slack Connect channel. We have strategy meetings every two weeks. We get a Google Looker dashboard every week. The dashboard shows citation share and Reddit thread traction. Deadlines are always met.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Red-engage’s deep respect for community rules is impressive. In the developer and fintech space, Reddit users despise astroturfing. Red-engage is exceptionally careful to provide genuine technical value in every comment, protecting our brand reputation while generating trust signals.

Are there any areas they could improve?

A pre-built glossary template during the kickoff would have streamlined that initial phase.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Red-Engage could have done differently?

More focus on platform dev groups upfront maybe. Small bit they nailed the big stuff, now rolling out wider easy.

They managed our full Reddit push. Started by finding busy IT subs, created 14-18 good posts each month, replied to comments and joined chats, tracked what worked best. Gave us a posting schedule for r/sysadmin, r/networking, r/homelab, weekly stats on upvotes, comments, site visits monthly reviews to adjust plans, special links to see which posts got demo sign-ups. Handled it all properly.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They've been spot-on from start to finish. Slack channel buzzing with daily updates, Notion board showing every post's progress, quick 15-min weekly calls. Always ahead of deadlines even when we changed direction halfway through a month. Super quick to respond, same day fixes on content or new sub targeting. Dealt with our global team's crazy timezones no bother.

What was your primary form of communication with Red Engage?

Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

How they just got Reddit's technical crowd. Didn't feel like marketing posts they joined conversations like proper IT pros, answering tricky questions on SDN, zero-trust setups, MPLS migrations. Turned single posts into weeks of back-and-forth chat positioning Forj as the go-to experts. Like having another senior network engineer who knew marketing too.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Red Engage could have done differently?

Could've hit r/msp sooner we do loads with managed service providers but started with bigger enterprise IT subs. Small miss though; they absolutely nailed what we asked for and we moved into MSP communities for phase two no problems.

They knew exactly which retail and tech communities were worth our time. Twelve to fifteen posts went out every month and none of them felt like marketing. They read like advice from someone who had actually dealt with slow dashboards or a checkout system going down mid shift. Every comment got a reply and we got clean weekly emails breaking down what was getting traction. We barely had to lift a finger.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Engagement went up 42% across our Reddit threads. Twenty shop managers reached out through DMs and most turned into product demos. Site traffic from Reddit grew 29%and store owners started tagging us in posts we had nothing to do with. That kind of unprompted recommendation is worth more than any ad spend.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Effortless on our end. Quick daily messages kept us updated and weekly notes covered everything we needed with no long calls. During busy retail seasons they moved fast without us having to ask and same day help was always there.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Are there any areas for improvement or something Red-Engage could have done differently?

Moving into smaller regional retail communities a bit sooner would have helped. Small thing overall and we are already expanding into those spaces together now.

 I am the Client Lead of a talent solutions company.

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

Launched in 2018 as Talent Solutions, we quickly developed a reputation in the Australian talent community as a supplier of specialist expertise and scale. At the time, our name stood out; it was fresh and original in a market where “RPO” and “outsourcing” were the go-to terms. In the years since, the name evolved from being our unique differentiator to the industry standard. What can we say, we’re trailblazers. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Red-Engage to accomplish?

• We had zero show on Reddit, but our customers were there every day chatting about ads and online growth. Wanted to join those talks for real, not look like we're just selling stuff. Simple plan pop in natural, share good tips, let chats bring us work.

I am the Manager of Proposals of an energy infrastructure company.

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

Our company designs, maintains, and optimises energy infrastructure to improve access to secure and sustainable energy for communities worldwide. We help meet the world’s evolving energy needs by providing consulting, project, and engineering solutions across the entire energy project lifecycle. For over 70 years, our company has served clients with over 15,000 projects in more than 100 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the UK, and Latin America

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Red-Engage to accomplish?

• We are an engineering consultancy and our online voice has always been quite formal. We wanted to try something new. The idea was to connect with younger engineers and potential partners on Reddit in a more natural way. We also had a clear goal around AI search. When someone types "sustainable energy infrastructure" into ChatGPT or Google AI, we wanted our company to come up as a name people can trust not get skipped over.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The project had two clear parts.

• The first was around AI. They looked at how information about our work was structured and helped fix it so that AI tools would find us and talk about us the right way. Things like our global projects and our expertise were not showing up clearly before.
• The second part was Reddit. But this was not just dropping links or running ads. They took our 70 years of engineering history and found smart ways to share it in the right communities. The goal was to sound like a real voice in those spaces, not a brand shouting for attention.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The change has been easy to notice. Before this, AI tools would describe sustainable energy and leave us out completely. Now we are showing up in those answers much more often. On Reddit, we went from having no presence at all to actually talking with engineers and professionals in the Middle East and UK. Those are real conversations with real people in our target markets.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Really solid, honestly. We have over 1,000 people in our company so things need to run in a certain way. Red Engage just got that without us having to explain it much. Reports showed up every month without us sending a single reminder. When we had to wait for internal sign-offs before posting something, they were completely fine with it. No pressure, no frustration. It genuinely felt like working with someone who already understood how big companies operate. They blended into our team without any friction.

What was your primary form of communication with Red-Engage?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Honestly, the fact that they could take something like energy infrastructure and make it feel interesting on Reddit. That is not easy. Most agencies back away from industries like ours because the content feels too heavy or too technical. Red Engage found a way to make it work. They also have a real understanding of how AI processes and surfaces information, and that kind of knowledge is hard to find in a small agency.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Red-Engage could have done differently?

There is one thing worth mentioning. In the early weeks, we spent a bit more time than expected explaining our technical language to them. Some of our engineering terms are very specific to the energy sector and it took a few extra conversations to get everyone on the same page. It was not a big deal and they caught on quickly, but having a writer with an energy background from day one would have made the start a little smoother.
