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.
Who does each job?
You do 4 of the 5 jobs, for every page.
You do none of them. You can still edit or stop any page.
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
Every Monday we check what your buyers search and ask AI. Then up to 7 pages a week go live on your site by themselves.
Your part: about 10 minutes, once.
