ReachKit vs Google Search Console
You should have Google Search Console. It is free, it comes from Google, and nothing else shows how Google sees your site. ReachKit does not connect to it and does not replace it. ReachKit adds what Search Console does not show: which competitors are on the first page instead of you, whether AI answers mention you, and up to 7 pages a week, new or updated, to change that.
What Search Console does well
Search Console is a free service from Google to monitor, maintain and troubleshoot your site in Google Search. Its performance reports show which queries bring people to your site, with impressions, clicks and position.
It shows which pages Google has indexed, and URL Inspection gives crawl, index and serving details for a single page. It can also email you when Google finds an issue on your site.
What ReachKit does instead
ReachKit looks outward from your site. The free scan runs 12 Google searches buyers in your market make, records who is on the first page of each and shows the competitors that appear instead of you. It also checks whether Google's AI answers mention or link you, and gives a Visibility Score from 0 to 100, with its range.
The paid plan, €49 a month, writes up to 7 pages a week, new or updated, that go live on your own domain or your WordPress. Every Monday your market is scanned again, and one email arrives with the numbers and what moved.
ReachKit does not read your Search Console data, so it cannot show Google's own clicks and impressions. Keep Search Console for that.
