Bekanntheitsgrad vs Reichweite

range / reach

'die Reichweite' and 'der Bekanntheitsgrad' both have to do with how many people notice something. But they do not mean the same thing. 'Die Reichweite' describes how many people an advertisement, a post, or a medium reaches. So it is about contact with people. 'Der Bekanntheitsgrad' describes how well-known a person, brand, or thing already is. Learners may confuse the words because a large reach can increase the level of awareness. Even so, the rule is: 'Reichweite' is more the number of people reached, while 'Bekanntheitsgrad' is the result in people's minds.
