Audit once. Own the report forever.
A desktop audit for your website. Crawl up to 500 pages, score how ready they are for AI answers, and get a fix pack of snippets and steps you paste in yourself. Want to know whether ChatGPT-style assistants cite you? Turn on the AI visibility check and it asks OpenAI and Anthropic, with web search on, through your own API keys. You see how often you were cited, with an honest range.
A technical crawl, a GEO readiness score with a fix pack, and an optional AI visibility check. One app, on your computer.
Up to 500 pages per audit. Titles and meta descriptions (missing, duplicate, too long or short), headings, canonicals, noindex and robots.txt, your XML sitemap, hreflang, image alt text, HTTPS and mixed content, redirects, broken links, orphan and thin pages, and structured data, each with a plain-English fix. JavaScript-heavy site? Switch on Render JavaScript and Reach uses your installed Chrome or Edge.
A 0-100 score built from five checks: entity clarity, answer formatting, schema usefulness, crawlability and citation readiness. The fix pack gives you snippets, files and steps to paste in. Reach never edits your site.
Reach asks 25 buyer-style questions, three times each, through the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs with web search on. You get "cited in 6 of 75 answers" with a 95% range, which other sites got cited, and a cost estimate before anything runs.
Your license email has the Mac and Windows downloads. The first version is not yet signed by Apple or Microsoft, so your computer asks you to confirm once (see the FAQ). No key is needed for the audit itself. Add OpenAI or Anthropic keys only if you want the AI check; they are stored in your computer's keychain.
Reach crawls your site from your computer, checks structured data, and pulls PageSpeed data if you add a free Google key. For the AI check you see the estimated cost and set a spending limit before a single question is asked.
Open the fix pack and paste in what you want. Export the report as one HTML file you can open, share or print to PDF. Run it again after your changes and compare the scores yourself.
Great SEO tools exist and we use them too. Reach is for people who would rather buy one desktop audit once than keep another subscription running.
Prices of other tools change; checked 2026-10-08 on screamingfrog.co.uk and otterly.ai. Otterly.AI shows two sets of prices on its page. Those tools cover things Reach does not (for example larger crawls and more AI engines).
$800 for the first 50 buyers, then $1,000. Buy once, no subscription. Here is what you are paying for, and what you pay others for.
After the first 50 seats: Standard, $1,000
* One-time purchase: updates and new versions are free for as long as we offer and support Answerhound Reach (EULA section 4). If we ever stop, the version you have keeps working on your computer.
One purchase. Your computer. Your keys. No subscription.

Reports, crawl results, fix packs and your keys stay on your computer. Some things must go out to work: Reach requests your site's pages (and checks outbound links), PageSpeed data comes from Google if you add a key, and the AI check sends its questions (which include your brand, site and topics) to OpenAI or Anthropic under your own account. We never receive your reports or keys. When you buy, Square handles the payment and we receive your email and order details.
Not for the audit. The crawl, score, fix pack and export work with no key. A free Google PageSpeed key adds performance data. The AI check needs an OpenAI key, an Anthropic key, or both, with billing set up at that provider. If you would rather not pay for keys, the free "check it yourself" mode gives you the questions to paste into your own ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Google AI Mode sessions and paste the answers back; plan on about 15 minutes per assistant for 10 questions.
You pay OpenAI and Anthropic directly; we add nothing. Before it runs, Reach shows an estimate and you set a hard spending limit for the run. For the default check (25 questions, 3 times each, both providers) the current estimate is about $1.59 to $6.35, most likely around $3.17. That estimate uses provider prices checked on 2026-10-08 and assumptions about searches and answer length that we have not yet measured on real runs, so treat it as a guide and set the limit you are comfortable with.
It is a close proxy, not the same thing. Reach uses the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs with web search on. The ChatGPT and Claude apps use different models, settings, memory and personalization, so a given person may see different answers. We ask each question several times and show results as "cited in 6 of 75 answers" with a range because answers change from run to run.
OpenAI and Anthropic, through their APIs with web search. Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Bing Copilot are not measured automatically in this version. The "check it yourself" mode lets you collect answers from those assistants by hand, and you can import Bing Webmaster Tools' AI report and Search Console exports.
Reach checks the on-page and technical basics search engines care about: titles and meta descriptions, headings, canonical tags, noindex and robots.txt, your XML sitemap, hreflang, image alt text, HTTPS and mixed content, redirects and broken links, orphan and thin pages, and structured data. For each problem the fix pack gives you something to paste or upload: corrected tag snippets with placeholders where only you know the right wording, a generated sitemap.xml and robots.txt built from the pages it crawled, redirect rules for nginx and Apache, and a list of images that need alt text. Reach does not write your copy unless you turn on the optional AI draft with your own key, and it never changes your site.
No. It only reads public pages. The fix pack is a folder of snippets, files and steps; you or your web person decide what to paste in.
By default Reach reads pages the way most crawlers and AI bots do, without running JavaScript, and flags pages whose text only appears after JavaScript runs. Turn on Render JavaScript to also see the rendered page. It uses Chrome or Edge if installed; otherwise it asks before downloading a roughly 100 MB Chromium browser.
You can re-run an audit with one click and see what changed since the last one: issues fixed, new issues and score changes. You can also set a weekly or monthly schedule. Schedules run only while Reach is open (it catches up once when you next open it), use the free checks only, and never run paid AI checks by themselves.
Up to 500 pages per audit. Sites behind a login, private networks and local addresses are not audited.
Yes: one Mac download for Apple Silicon and Intel, and a Windows 64-bit installer. Neither is signed by Apple or Microsoft yet, so your computer warns you the first time. On a Mac, macOS shows "Answerhound" Not Opened: click Done, not Move to Trash (that button deletes the app). Then open System Settings > Privacy & Security, where macOS may show an Open Anyway button for Answerhound; click it and confirm with Touch ID or your password. On Windows, SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC": click More info, then Run anyway. If Windows blocks the installer with no way to continue, email us before changing any security setting.
An on-screen report and a one-file HTML export you can open in any browser, send to someone, or print to PDF. The export carries the Answerhound Reach name; custom branding is not available.
Reach is a one-time purchase, so updates are supported for the life of the software: new versions are free for as long as we offer and support Answerhound Reach (EULA section 4). In this first version there is no automatic updater; we email you when a new version is ready to download.
One license is for one person on one device at a time (EULA section 1). Replacing your computer? Uninstall Reach from the old one, then install it on the new one and activate it with the same license key.
Email hello@jkcreative.store within 14 days of purchase and we refund 90% of what you paid; the 10% covers payment processing, license issuance and support. No reason needed. See the refund policy.
