Lead generation for marketing agencies
updated 26 October 2026
Marketing agencies use HearBuyers to find people on Reddit and X who are already asking for marketing services. Paste your agency website and HearBuyers works out likely buyer roles, common problems in the buyer's own words, search phrases, competitors and relevant communities. It then scans public posts, scores each one for buying intent from 0 to 100, and drafts replies for the posts that meet your threshold.
Nothing is posted automatically. Your team reviews each match, edits the draft if needed, and decides whether to reply. You can see examples from our scan of public posts, and read more in how to find these clients, how it works and pricing.

How HearBuyers finds clients for marketing agencies
- Paste your agency website and HearBuyers suggests buyer roles, service needs, competitor names, search phrases and relevant subreddits. You can edit all of it.
- HearBuyers scans public posts and comments on Reddit and public posts on X. It starts with the last 7 days and then keeps scanning on a schedule.
- Every post gets a buying-intent score from 0 to 100, along with the sentence that signals intent and a short reason.
- When a post meets your threshold (70 by default), HearBuyers drafts a public reply and a direct message for X. A person reviews it, edits it, copies it and posts it.

What a buying request looks like
I run a contracting business and most of our work has come from referrals and repeat customers. We now want to grow our online presence and generate more qualified local leads. I am looking for an agency with experience in service businesses that can help with ads, local search visibility, landing pages, and conversions.
This scored 96/100 because the poster is actively looking for an agency to bring in more leads.
I am looking for a marketing agency to help acquire new customers. I am offering a fixed payment for each signed client generated.
This scored 98/100 because the poster wants an agency right away and has a defined acquisition model.
I was recently laid off from an agency role and am trying to strengthen my analytics and presentation skills. I want recommendations on becoming more confident presenting insights to stakeholders and improving analytical thinking.
This scored 2/100 and is not a lead. The poster wants career development advice, not marketing services.
