Webull is expanding Webull Connect with Connect AI, Iress Xplan integration and LAB Group enabled onboarding and transfersAustralian adviser platforms held more than $1.22 trillion in funds under advice in March 2026, while adviser numbers have fallen around 42 per cent since 2019The expanded platform is designed to cut administration and help advisers manage more client work

SYDNEY, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Webull Securities (Australia) Pty Ltd (“Webull Australia”), a subsidiary of Webull Corporation (NASDAQ: BULL), the owner of the Webull trading platform, has rolled out new features for Webull Connect, its portfolio management and execution platform for Australian financial advisers, as it continues to advance its offering for the advice sector.

Australia’s financial advisers serve one of the world’s largest pools of retirement savings, and demand for advice is set to grow. Investment platforms used by advisers and their clients held $1.22 trillion in funds under advice as of March 2026.

Yet the profession serving that demand is shrinking. Licensed adviser numbers have fallen 42 per cent since the start of 2019, from around 26,500 to 15,413 at the end of June 2026. With fewer advisers looking after more clients and more assets, time has become the profession’s scarcest resource, and administration is taking up much of it.

Webull Connect’s latest update is built to address that capacity squeeze. New features include:

Connect AI: an AI assistant that assists advisers with routine operational queries and accelerates report workflows, with instant portfolio insights and summaries of client position exposures rolling out in early November. Advisers can currently use up to 5,000 queries per month at no cost.Bulk Onboarding and Transfer: in collaboration with LAB Group, bulk client registration, digital onboarding and portfolio migration, with HIN transfers for multiple clients initiated and tracked in one place.Iress Xplan Integration: built in collaboration with Iress, providing streamlined client portfolio integration with Xplan to improve workflow efficiency and client management.Bulk Trade: a single entry point to build diversified portfolios across the ASX and international markets, with orders across multiple client accounts executed separately or centrally and transparent average-price allocations.Webull Trade Terminal: multi-window layouts, advanced real-time charting, deep market depth and instant hotkey routing, giving advisers the same experience as Webull traders.Webull Connect Mobile App: a new app that lets advised clients follow their portfolios, order status and market insights, with the same experience Webull’s retail clients enjoy.

“When we launched Webull Connect in February, we said international market access was the real differentiator. Since then, advisers have told us the other thing holding them back is time,” said Rob Talevski, CEO of Webull Australia. “Australia’s advice sector looks after more than a trillion dollars, with roughly half the advisers it had a few years ago. We’re doubling down on Webull Connect because we see a real opportunity to help advisers do more with less, from onboarding a new client to building a global portfolio.”

Looking ahead, Webull Australia plans to broaden the platform further with access to Japanese markets, regulated crypto and digital asset access, and US bond and fixed income access, giving advisers more of the building blocks their clients need on a single platform.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nicely Network has been named Best Reddit Marketing Agency for Enterprise Brands for November 2026 by Better Business Advice, recognizing its work combining Reddit campaigns, high-authority article placements and search visibility reporting for large brands.

The recognition focuses on enterprise portfolios: matching individual product categories to the questions buyers ask and tracking how published content contributes to discovery across search and AI platforms.

Enterprise Portfolios Require Coverage at the Product Level

For a large brand, search demand spans individual products, use cases, comparison criteria and markets. Nicely Network’s campaign model starts with those distinctions, defining objectives and identifying communities where relevant recommendations are being sought.

Its current materials describe work with 300+ brands, including Fortune 500 companies, across sectors such as technology, retail, finance, travel, beauty and wellness. That range is relevant to enterprise organizations managing several categories, each with its own vocabulary and buying considerations. A furniture query about extension mechanisms, for example, calls for different content from a discussion about outdoor equipment or diagnostic testing.

Category Results Connect Visibility With Buyer Response

The agency’s current media kit and pitch deck present examples across consumer categories, with results reported separately for exposure, website visits and sales:

Furniture: A series of Reddit discussions is credited with $150K in tracked sales, 21,190 clicks to the client’s website and 1M organic discussion views.Outdoor products: The materials report 60K AI mentions per month and 48M monthly AI impressions across seven AI platforms, following growth from near-zero mentions.Health diagnostics: An article placement recorded 16,924 article views and 2,483 clickthroughs.

These examples show different stages of response. Mentions indicate brand presence in AI answers, views record content exposure, and clicks capture visits beyond the published content. Tracked sales provide a separate commercial measure.

Evidence Behind the Best Reddit Marketing Agency for Enterprise Brands Selection

Across its work, Nicely Network reports 15,000+ AI citations and $150M+ in tracked sales revenue. Its pitch deck also reports 8,000+ Reddit discussions and 160M+ discussion views. These are agency-reported portfolio figures, alongside the category examples presented in its materials.

The Best Reddit Marketing Agency for Enterprise Brands recognition centers on the relationship between campaign scale, category relevance and measurable response. Enterprise coverage requires a process that can connect specific buying questions to content and reporting across a broader portfolio.

“Every product category brings its own buying questions,” said a spokesperson for Nicely Network. “The planning task is to connect those questions to useful content and then measure which discussions and articles contribute to discovery.”

From Buyer Questions to Reddit and Article Placements

Campaign planning begins with an objective, such as supporting a product launch, increasing AI visibility or driving conversions. The team then identifies relevant subreddits and develops discussions around high-intent search queries, with brand mentions introduced in the context of the topic.

Nicely Network pairs this Reddit activity with high-authority article placements. Those articles address category keywords and buyer questions while presenting product information and links that readers can follow to the brand’s website.

The combined approach gives a campaign multiple content formats for the same area of demand. A discussion can explore practical buying considerations through questions and replies, while an article can organize category information into a structured explanation.

How Searchable Content Can Enter AI Answers

Nicely Network operates as a Reddit marketing and AI-SEO agency. Its generative engine optimization, or GEO, and LLM optimization work addresses brand discoverability across ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Google AI Overview and Perplexity.

The strategic premise is that relevant, publicly accessible discussions and articles create source material that search-enabled AI systems may retrieve when answering related questions. Their text connects a brand with specific products, attributes and use cases. Google’s guidance states that a page must be indexed and eligible for a search snippet to appear as a supporting link in its AI search features.

This makes the substance of each page relevant to the campaign: its usefulness depends on how clearly it addresses the query and explains the product’s role in that category.

Reporting Separates AI Visibility From Commercial Response

The agency’s reporting framework covers AI mentions, citations, impressions and share of voice, alongside screenshots of discussions and articles ranking for targeted Google searches. Content reporting includes views and engagement, with clickthroughs, conversions and sales tracked through affiliate links or UTM parameters where available.

Ongoing updates identify performing content during the campaign, followed by a detailed report. For enterprise teams, these measures support decisions about which categories and queries need further coverage. They also distinguish a brand’s appearance in an AI answer from a visit or purchase attributed through a tracking link.

Enterprise Engagements Across Products and Markets

The current materials recommend engagements of 3 to 12 months, with a recommended monthly investment of $15,000 to $30,000. Campaign scope is based on keyword targets, product categories and the mix of Reddit discussions and article placements.

Custom enterprise engagements are available for agencies managing multi-brand portfolios and for large brands seeking coverage across multiple categories or markets. This structure allows objectives, content priorities and reporting to be planned around the portfolio’s requirements.

Better Business Advice’s November selection of Nicely Network as Best Reddit Marketing Agency for Enterprise Brands reflects that enterprise focus: category-specific content, coordinated publication across Reddit and high-authority websites, and reporting that connects visibility with trackable customer response.
