Thanks for reaching out @kinseykinsey. You’re correct that the plugin will display basic but useful stats directly from Analytics, Search Console and more within your WordPress dashboard, after a simple set up process. There is a link to these services directly for more information, within the Site Kit dashboard.
The plugin website has more information on setting up the plugin, with more information on who Site Kit is for.
Let me know if you have any further questions on this. Note that if you wish to test out and use Site Kit but not on your own site, feel free to use this link for a disposable WordPress site with Site Kit preinstalled.
As we didn’t receive a response I’ll mark this as resolved. Feel free to open a new support topic if you continue to encounter issues, or reopen this topic and we’d be happy to assist.
