Overview
Search Atlas does not currently support a one-click merge or direct combination of two separate projects. If you need to consolidate data from multiple projects into one, you will need to do so manually. This article explains what to prepare and how to approach the process.
Why Direct Merging Is Not Supported
Each Search Atlas project is treated as an independent workspace. Because of this, a native merge feature is not available at this time. Consolidation must be done by manually re-adding or transferring data from your secondary project into your primary project.
Before You Begin: What to Gather
Before attempting any consolidation — or if you need to escalate to our team — have the following ready:
- The names of both projects you want to consolidate, as they appear in your account.
- The primary domain for each project — confirm which will become your single source of truth.
- A list of features and data active in both projects (e.g., tracked keywords, competitor comparisons, local SEO assets) so you know what needs to be transferred.
- Your rank history preference — decide which project's historical data you want to preserve, since history from the secondary project cannot be automatically carried over.
- Team member access details — confirm who has edit permissions on both projects before making changes.
General Consolidation Approach
Because there is no automated merge tool, the general workflow is:
- Identify your primary project — the one you will keep and work from going forward.
- Note all data and settings in your secondary project that you want to retain, including tracked keywords, competitor comparisons, local SEO details, keyword groupings, and any custom configurations.
- Manually re-add that data into your primary project — go into the relevant sections of your primary project and recreate or re-enter the data from your secondary project.
- Recreate any settings or configurations from the secondary project that cannot be transferred, such as tracked keyword groupings, local SEO details, or custom tags.
- Verify your primary project has all the data you need before deleting or archiving the secondary project.
Note that historical rank tracking data from the secondary project cannot be merged into the primary project's history. Only data that you manually re-enter will carry over.
