What is Customer Finder?

Customer Finder is a free tool that turns your website or product description into a targeted Google search across Reddit, LinkedIn, X, Hacker News, Quora, and 25+ other communities. It surfaces threads where people are already asking for what you sell, so you can join an existing conversation instead of starting one cold.

How does Customer Finder find customers?

Paste your URL or describe your product. An LLM picks the most relevant communities and keywords for your product, then builds a Google search using site: operators. You land on a normal Google results page filtered to threads matching your ideal customer profile — typically complaints, recommendations, and product comparisons.

Is Customer Finder really free?

Yes. No signup, no credit card to try it. The paid plan (USD 19 per month) adds unlimited searches plus a daily digest of new conversations matching your product, delivered to your inbox.

What communities does Customer Finder search?

Reddit, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Hacker News, Quora, Indie Hackers, Product Hunt, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and 20 more — 30+ communities covering B2B, B2C, indie founder, and developer audiences. The picker auto-selects the best 5-9 communities for your product so you do not drown in irrelevant results.

How is Customer Finder different from Sales Navigator or cold outreach?

Sales Navigator and cold-email tools find people who might want what you sell. Customer Finder finds people who have already said they want it — warm intent expressed publicly. You enter an existing conversation about a need, instead of interrupting someone's day with an unsolicited pitch.

Will I get banned posting on Reddit?

Only if you spam. The communities Customer Finder surfaces are public, but each one has rules — most prohibit overt selling. The right approach: comment helpfully, answer the original question, and mention your product only if it is directly relevant and the rules allow it. Learn each community's norms before going wider.
