## **🧩 What Is Link Laboratory?**

Link Laboratory is a publisher marketplace accessible within Search Atlas that allows you to discover and purchase link placements. It is associated with **Publication.media** and can be accessed from within the Search Atlas dashboard.

Link Laboratory functions as a connected service within Search Atlas. Understanding how the two relate will help you decide which access method suits your workflow.

## **🔐 Do You Need a Separate Login?**

It depends on how you plan to use Link Laboratory:

- **Accessing through Search Atlas:** You may be able to use Link Laboratory from within the Search Atlas dashboard without a separate Publication.media login. You can browse and place orders through the integrated interface.
- **Accessing Publication.media directly:** If you want to log in to Publication.media at its own website, you may need a separate Publication.media account and login. Contact our support team to confirm the exact requirements for your account.

## **🔄 Are the Two Accounts Linked?**

Whether a Search Atlas account and a Publication.media account are linked or synced depends on your specific account configuration. Creating a Search Atlas account may not automatically create a Publication.media account. If you need direct Publication.media access, contact our support team to clarify the steps required for your situation.
