❄️ What Is OTTO Deep Freeze?

🔒 Keep your SEO optimizations live, even after canceling your Search Atlas subscription

Updated over a week ago

OTTO Deep Freeze is a free continuity feature from Search Atlas that keeps your SEO optimizations active — even if you cancel your subscription. It’s designed to ensure long-term benefits by maintaining previously deployed fixes on your website, powered by the OTTO Pixel.

🔧 How Deep Freeze Works

  1. Preserves deployed fixes
    Once activated, all SEO changes implemented by OTTO remain live, as long as the OTTO Pixel stays installed.

  2. Releases site quotas after 14 days
    After two weeks, your project stops being actively crawled and its quota frees up for new projects. However, your deployed fixes are still working.

  3. Accessible via open link
    A standalone link allows you to revisit and review deployed optimizations, although deploying new fixes isn’t possible in Deep Freeze mode.

  4. Change management without crawling
    You can undeploy or tweak existing fixes, but OTTO won’t scan your site for new issues once it's in Deep Freeze.

🛠 How to Enable Deep Freeze

  1. Go to your OTTO project settings.

  2. Select Deep Freeze.

  3. Confirm your choice—you’ll get a 14-day grace period before the quota is released.

  4. After that, you can continue to enjoy optimization without an active subscription.
