🗺️ What Are Local Citations?
Local Citations help your business appear consistently across online directories, maps, and data aggregators. Search Atlas lets you build and manage these listings directly from the platform using its Local Citations tool, powered by Hyperdrive credits.
🧭 How to Navigate to Local Citations
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- In the left sidebar, click Local.
- From the expanded menu, click Local Citations.
🛒 How to Purchase Local Citations
- Once you are on the Local Citations page, review the available citation packages or aggregator options displayed on screen.
- Select the package or listing tier that matches your business needs.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your selection.
- Complete the purchase — the cost will be applied against your Hyperdrive credits balance.
If your Hyperdrive credits are insufficient to complete the purchase, you will be prompted to top up your balance before proceeding.
⚡ Understanding Hyperdrive Credits
Hyperdrive credits are the in-platform currency used for Local Citations and other Local tools. Here is what you need to know:
- Credits are used to fund purchases — each citation package or aggregator submission draws from your available balance.
- Check your balance before purchasing to confirm you have enough credits for your chosen package.
- Top up at any time — if your balance is low, you can purchase additional Hyperdrive credits from within the platform.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
I can't see the Local Citations option in the sidebar. Why?
The Local Citations sub-menu only appears after you click Local in the left sidebar to expand it. If it is still not visible, your current plan may not include this feature — check your plan details or contact support for assistance.
