Can you promote in r/googlesheets?
Help and support with your functions, formulas, formatting, and Apps Scripts macros in Google Sheets. Unofficial.
The short answer
Help publicly with useful, non-promotional answers; if you must mention your product, disclose your affiliation briefly and avoid links or sales language unless the post fits the sharing rules and moderator expectations.
What works here
- Answering questions about functions, formulas, scripts
- Sharing Sheets files or full scripts with Sharing flair (non-promotional)
- Naming an add-on/script in the title for technical posts
- Offering payment if formatted exactly as required in the title
What gets posts removed
- Posting promotional copy, product pitches, or lead-generation posts
- Posting links that are not Google Sheets files
- Soliciting customers, surveys or commercial recruitment in comments or posts
- PMing users to move discussion to private for sales
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo promotional content
Sharing Guidelines explicitly state 'No promotional content' and Sharing flair is for non-promotional shares only.
Link restrictions for shares
Sharing posts linking anything other than a Google Sheets file are subject to removal, so external product links are risky.
Add-ons/scripts must be identified
Posts primarily related to add-ons or scripts must include its name/purpose in the title, which permits technical mention but not promotion.
Paid offers format
If offering payment, subreddit requires a specific title format, indicating paid work is allowed but tightly regulated.
