Overview
You do not need to set up a Search Atlas project to order citations for a business. You can purchase Hyperdrive credits through the Billing section of your account and then place a citation order directly inside the Local Citations tool. This guide walks you through the general process.
Step 1: Purchase Hyperdrive Credits
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Click your avatar in the top-right to open the Account Menu, then select Billing.
- Locate the Hyperdrive Credits section on the Billing page.
- Choose the number of credits you want to purchase and complete the checkout process.
- Once payment is confirmed, your credits are added to your account and are available to use across any citation order.
Step 2: Open the Local Citations Tool
- Navigate to the Local Citations tool within your Search Atlas account.
- The citation ordering interface will open. You do not need an existing project to proceed.
Step 3: Enter the Business Details
When you open the citation ordering interface, the business information fields may be pre-populated with details from a previously used business or project. You can clear those fields and enter the correct business information for the order you want to place.
- Review any pre-populated business information shown at the top of the form.
- If the wrong business is shown, click into the relevant field and update or replace the existing content with the correct details.
- Complete all required business details, which typically include the business name, address, phone number, website URL, and business category.
Important: Updating a pre-populated entry only affects the current order form. It does not permanently delete any saved project or business profile in your account.
Step 4: Configure and Place Your Citation Order
- After entering the correct business information, select the citation packages or directories you want the business listed on.
- Review the total Hyperdrive credit cost shown in the order summary and confirm you have sufficient credits available.
- Submit the order using the available submit option to complete the citation submission.
- Your order status will be reflected in the Local Citations section of the platform once the submission is processed.
