🧭 Overview
If you are evaluating Search Atlas on a trial account, you can still run site audits for prospective clients using a dedicated lookup tool that does not consume one of your project slots, making it ideal for agency prospecting and pre-sales research.
📍 What Is the Difference Between Ongoing Projects and On-Demand Site Research?
Search Atlas separates ongoing project tracking from on-demand site research:
- Projects are created when you want to continuously monitor a specific website — tracking rankings, auditing on a schedule, and managing SEO tasks over time. Each project occupies one of your available project slots.
- On-demand site research tools let you pull data for any domain at any time without creating a project and without using a project slot. This is the right approach to audit a prospective client's site quickly during a trial.
🗂️ How to Run a Site Audit Without Using a Project Slot
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Navigate to the appropriate on-demand research or site analysis area within the platform.
- Enter the domain of the prospective client you want to audit.
- Generate the report and review the available site data for that domain.
You can repeat this process for as many prospective client domains as you need during your trial.
