# **🤔 Otto Projects vs. User Seats — What's the Difference?**

These two things are easy to confuse, so here's a quick distinction before you get started:

- **Otto projects** — The number of websites or domains you can manage and automate with Otto, Search Atlas's OTTO SEO tool. Each project corresponds to one site you want to optimise.
- **User seats** — The number of people (team members or clients) you can invite to access your Search Atlas account. Adding a user seat does **not** add an Otto project.

If you want to run Otto on an additional website, you need to add an **Otto project**, not a user seat.

# **📋 Before You Begin**

- You must be the account owner or have admin permissions to manage billing and subscriptions.
- Adding Otto projects may affect your current plan. Have your billing details ready if an upgrade is required.

# **🚀 How to Add Otto Projects to Your Account**

Because the exact steps to add an Otto project depend on your current plan and account configuration, the most reliable way to complete this is to contact our support team directly. When you reach out, please have the following ready so we can assist you as quickly as possible:

- The domain or website you want to add as a new Otto project.
- Your current Search Atlas plan name.
- Whether you have reached your plan's project limit or are unsure of your current usage.
- Any error messages or on-screen prompts you have encountered while trying to add the project.

Our team will confirm whether an upgrade or additional project slot purchase is needed and guide you through the process.

# **⚠️ Common Mistake: Adding a User Instead of a Project**

If you searched for how to add "Otto seats" and landed here, you are in the right place. The word **seats** in the context of Otto refers to **project slots** — not user invitations. To invite a team member to your account, navigate to your account settings and look for the **Team** or **Users** section instead. That process is completely separate from managing Otto projects.

# **💡 Tips for Managing Otto Projects**

- Each Otto project is tied to one domain. Subdomains or separate regional sites may each count as individual projects depending on your plan.
- You may be able to remove a project to free up a slot for a different domain — confirm this with the support team based on your plan's terms.
- Check your Otto dashboard regularly to monitor the status and progress of all active Otto projects.
