📋 Overview

Choosing the right Search Atlas plan depends on two key resources: OTTO slots (OTTO SEO automation per site) and GBP slots (Google Business Profile posting per location). This article explains how slots work, what each plan tier includes, and how to calculate costs for your agency.

🗂️ What Are OTTO Slots and GBP Slots?

OTTO slots determine how many websites or client projects can have OTTO SEO automation actively enabled under your account. Each site you activate OTTO for consumes one OTTO slot.

GBP slots cover individual Google Business Profile locations. If a client has multiple locations, each location consumes one GBP slot.

Different Search Atlas plans include different base allocations of OTTO and GBP slots, and additional slots can be purchased as add-ons if your base plan does not cover all your clients.

📊 Plan Tiers and Included Slots

Search Atlas offers multiple plan tiers with varying included OTTO and GBP slot counts. Because pricing and slot allocations are updated periodically, exact figures are not published here. To get accurate, up-to-date information:

• Log in to your Search Atlas account and open your billing or subscription settings to see your current plan's included slot counts and any available add-on options.
• If you are not yet a subscriber, visit the Search Atlas website and navigate to the pricing page for the most current plan comparison.

When you reach out to our team (see below), a teammate can walk you through the current tier options, slot allocations, and which plan best fits your agency's size and client roster.

➕ Add-On Slots

If your base plan does not include enough OTTO or GBP slots for all your clients, additional slots can be purchased on top of your plan. To find current per-slot add-on pricing and available packages, check your account's billing or subscription settings after logging in — add-on options and their rates are listed there. Because add-on pricing is subject to change, always verify current rates in your account before committing to a configuration.

🏢 Calculating Costs for Your Agency

To estimate your total monthly cost, follow these general steps:

1. Count the number of client sites that will need OTTO automation enabled — this is your required OTTO slot count.
2. Count the total number of Google Business Profile locations across all clients — this is your required GBP slot count.
3. Compare those counts against the slot allocations included in each plan tier (visible in your account's billing settings or on the Search Atlas pricing page).
4. If your requirements exceed a plan's base allocation, factor in the per-slot add-on cost for each additional slot needed.
5. Add the base plan price and any add-on costs together to arrive at your estimated monthly total.
