🔍 Overview
GBP Galactic Projects is a feature inside Search Atlas that lets you manage and optimize Google Business Profile locations at scale. Each active project counts toward your plan's GBP Galactic Project activation limit. This article explains how those limits work and what your options are if you need more activations.
📦 What Is a GBP Galactic Project Activation?
When you connect and activate a Google Business Profile location inside the GBP Galactic Projects tool, it uses one activation slot from your plan's allotted limit. The number of activation slots available to you depends entirely on the plan you are currently subscribed to.
🚫 Can I Add Extra GBP Activations as a Separate Add-On?
No. GBP Galactic Project activations cannot be purchased as standalone add-ons or supplementary packages. There is no separate add-on, à la carte option, or volume discount tier available for GBP Galactic Project activations outside of your core plan. Any information suggesting otherwise is incorrect.
The only way to increase the number of GBP Galactic Project activations available to your account is to upgrade to a higher-tier Search Atlas plan that includes a greater activation limit.
⬆️ How to Upgrade Your Plan
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Click your profile icon or account name in the top-right corner.
- Select Billing from the dropdown menu, then open Plans & Top-ups.
- Review the available plans and locate one that includes the number of GBP Galactic Project activations you need.
- Click Change Plan and follow the on-screen steps to complete the change.
Your new activation limit will be applied to your account as soon as the upgrade is confirmed.
📋 Checking Your Current Activation Limit
To see how many GBP Galactic Project activations your current plan includes and how many you have used:
- Navigate to the GBP Galactic Projects section in your Search Atlas dashboard.
- Look for the usage indicator or activation counter displayed at the top of the page.
- This counter shows your used activations versus your total plan allowance.
If you have reached your limit, no additional locations can be activated until you upgrade your plan.
💡 Tips Before You Upgrade
- Audit your active projects first. If some activated locations are no longer needed, deactivating them will free up slots without requiring a plan change.
- Compare plan limits carefully. When reviewing upgrade options, confirm the exact number of GBP Galactic Project activations included in each plan so you choose the right tier for your needs.
- Consider future growth. If you manage locations for multiple clients or expect your portfolio to grow, selecting a plan with headroom can save you from needing to upgrade again in the near term.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I purchase a temporary increase in activations for a short-term campaign?
No. Temporary or short-term activation boosts are not available as separate purchases. A plan upgrade is the only path to more activations.
Will my existing activated projects be affected if I do not upgrade?
Projects already activated will remain active. You simply will not be able to add new activations until you either upgrade your plan or deactivate an existing project to free up a slot.
What happens to my activations if I downgrade my plan?
If you downgrade to a plan with a lower activation limit and your current number of active projects exceeds that limit, some projects may be deactivated automatically. Review the downgrade terms carefully before proceeding.
