## **🔍 Overview**

You do not need to set up a full Search Atlas project to order citations for a business. With **Hyperdrive credits**, you can purchase citation packages and submit them directly through the **Local Citations** section. This guide walks you through each step.

## **💡 What Are Hyperdrive Credits?**

Hyperdrive credits are the in-platform currency used to order local citation campaigns. Each citation order consumes a set number of credits depending on the package size you choose. Credits are purchased separately from your main subscription and can be used at any time.

## **🛠️ How to Purchase Hyperdrive Credits**

1. Log in to your Search Atlas account.
2. Navigate to **Local** in the left sidebar.
3. Click **Local Citations**.
4. On the Local Citations page, look for the **Buy Hyperdrive Credits** button and click it.
5. Select the credit package that fits your needs and complete the checkout process.
6. Once payment is confirmed, your credits will be added to your account immediately and displayed in your credits balance.

## **📊 How to Order Citations Without a Project**

After purchasing credits, you can place a citation order for any business directly — no project setup required. Follow these steps:

1. Go to **Local** in the left sidebar, then click **Local Citations**.
2. Click the **Select all and save 20% on your submission** button.
3. Enter the business details manually, including the business name, address, phone number, and website URL. Make sure all information is accurate, as it will be submitted to citation directories exactly as entered.
4. Select the citation package you want to order.
5. Review your order summary to confirm the credit cost and business information are correct.
6. Click **Confirm & Continue** to submit. Your Hyperdrive credits will be deducted automatically.

Once submitted, your citation campaign will begin processing. You can return to the **Local Citations** page at any time to check the status of your order.

## **⚙️ Tips for Accurate Citation Orders**

- **Use consistent NAP data** — the business name, address, and phone number should match exactly what appears on the business's Google Business Profile to avoid listing inconsistencies.
- **Double-check the website URL** before submitting, as errors cannot be corrected once the order is placed.
- **Check your credit balance** before starting an order to make sure you have enough credits for the selected package.

## **❓ Frequently Asked Questions**

**Can I order citations for multiple businesses without projects?**  
Yes. You can place separate citation orders for as many businesses as you need, each time entering the relevant business details manually. No project is required for any of them.

**Do Hyperdrive credits expire?**  
Credits included in your monthly plan reset each billing cycle and do not roll over. Credits purchased as a top-up do roll over and remain available in your account until used.

**Can I link a citation order to a project later?**  
Citation orders placed without a project are standalone. If you later create a project for that business, previous standalone orders will not be retroactively linked.
