# **📋 What Is a Quota Top-Up?**

A quota top-up lets you add extra usage credits to your Search Atlas account with a single one-time payment. This is ideal when you need a short-term boost — for example, running a large site audit or processing additional keywords — without upgrading your monthly subscription plan.

# **🔍 What Quotas Can Be Topped Up?**

Quota top-ups are available for several usage types inside Search Atlas. The specific top-up packages available to you depend on your current plan. Available options and their prices will be displayed at the time of purchase inside your account's billing area.

# **💳 How to Purchase a Quota Top-Up**

1. Log in to your **Search Atlas** account.
2. Click your **profile icon** or account name in the top-right corner of the platform.
3. Navigate to **Billing** or **Subscription** in the dropdown menu.
4. Scroll to the **Quota Top-Up** section on the billing page.
5. Select the quota type and top-up amount that fits your needs (for example, a **$20 one-time purchase**).
6. Review the credits included with your chosen top-up amount.
7. Click **Purchase** and confirm your payment details using your saved payment method or by entering new card details.
8. Your additional quota will be added to your account **immediately** after the payment is processed.

# **📊 What Does a Top-Up Include?**

Each top-up package adds a defined number of credits to your account. The exact credits included depend on the package size you select. Top-up credits are typically used for actions such as:

- Running additional **site audits**
- Processing extra **keyword lookups**
- Generating additional **content briefs or AI writing credits**
- Performing **backlink or competitor research** queries

Top-up credits are separate from your monthly subscription quota and are consumed only when your regular monthly allocation has been used up.

# **⚙️ Key Things to Know Before You Buy**

- **One-time charge:** A quota top-up is a single payment — it does not create a recurring charge or modify your existing subscription. Top-ups do **not** auto-renew.
- **No subscription change required:** You can purchase a top-up on any active plan without upgrading.
- **Immediate activation:** Credits are applied to your account as soon as payment is confirmed.
- **Secure payment processing:** Payments are processed securely.
- **Non-refundable:** Top-up purchases are generally non-refundable once credits have been applied. Review your selection carefully before completing the purchase.
- **Failed payments:** If your payment fails, double-check that your card details are up to date in the billing area of your account.
- **Expiry:** Top-up credits may have an expiry date. Check the billing page for any expiry terms shown at the time of purchase.

# **❓ Frequently Asked Questions**

**Can I buy just $20 worth of quota?** Yes. Search Atlas offers one-time top-up packages starting at small amounts. Navigate to the **Billing** section of your account to see all available package sizes, including lower-cost options. Availability may vary by plan.

**Will this affect my monthly subscription?** No. A top-up is a standalone purchase and does not change your current subscription plan, billing cycle, or monthly renewal amount.

**How do I know when my regular quota runs out?** You can monitor your quota usage in real time from your **Dashboard** or **Account Settings**. Search Atlas may also display an in-app notification when you are approaching your limit.

**Can I buy multiple top-ups?** Yes. You can purchase top-ups as many times as needed. Each purchase is processed independently and credits are added cumulatively to your account.

If your top-up does not appear in your account after payment, try the following steps:

1. Refresh the page and check your quota balance by clicking your **Avatar** (top-right) → **Billing** → **Plans & Top-ups**.
