ReachKit vs Yoast SEO
Yoast runs a free online SEO checker: you enter a URL and run the scan, and you do not need to share an email address. It checks the page's key elements and its technical health. Yoast is also the WordPress plugin that puts SEO feedback beside the post as you write. ReachKit's free scan checks the common technical issues too, and adds the searches buyers in your market make and who shows up instead of you.
Who does each job?
You do 5 of the 5 jobs, for every page.
You do none of them. You can still edit or stop any page.
What Yoast does well
The online checker is free and needs no email. It checks title tags, meta descriptions and headings, content structure, technical health such as HTTPS, canonicals, sitemap and robots.txt, and broken links and 404 errors.
Its page is honest about its limits: it is great for spotting common issues, but SEO is bigger than just checks.
The Premium plugin gives feedback as you write in WordPress, suggests internal links, previews posts on Facebook and X, and can draft titles and meta descriptions for you to review. On 2026-10-15 it was €118.80 a year before VAT.
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.
