🎯 What This Article Covers
Search Atlas periodically runs promotional campaigns on Facebook that offer free access to the live training course How to Sell SEO Like a Pro. If you saw one of these ads and expected a free link but instead encountered a payment screen ($27 or $124), this article will explain why that happens and exactly how to get the access you were promised.
📣 About the Promotional Offer
The How to Sell SEO Like a Pro course is a live training designed to help agency owners, freelancers, and consultants pitch and close SEO services more effectively. Certain Facebook ads for this course include a promotional offer of free access delivered via a direct link. This offer is separate from the standard paid ticket options shown on the public registration page.
If your ad specifically stated that a link would be sent to you, you are eligible for the free promotional pathway — you do not need to purchase a ticket.
⚠️ Why You May Have Seen a Payment Screen
The registration page for this course displays paid ticket options by default. Customers who arrive at the page without using a dedicated promotional link will be shown the standard pricing. This can happen if:
- You navigated to the registration page directly rather than through the link in the ad.
- The promotional link in the ad was not yet live at the time you clicked.
- The link expired or was not correctly appended to the ad at the time of your visit.
- You closed the ad and searched for the course manually.
Seeing the payment screen does not mean the free offer has been revoked. It simply means you need to access the course through the correct promotional link.
🔗 How Promotional Links Are Distributed
When a Facebook ad promises a free link, access is delivered in one of the following ways:
- Direct message on Facebook: The link may be sent to your Facebook Messenger inbox from the Search Atlas page or the ad account that ran the campaign.
- Comment reply on the ad post: Some campaigns are set up to automatically reply to comments on the ad post with the access link. Check the comments on the original ad you interacted with.
- Email delivery: If the ad prompted you to submit your email address, the link will be delivered to the inbox of the email you provided. Check your spam or promotions folder if you do not see it in your primary inbox.
Please check all three of these locations before reaching out to support, as the link may already be waiting for you.
✅ Steps to Claim Your Free Access
- Return to the original Facebook ad you saw and check for a comment reply or a direct message from the Search Atlas page.
- If you submitted your email address through the ad, check that inbox — including the spam and promotions folders.
- If you find your link, click it directly. Do not copy and paste it into a browser search bar, as this can strip tracking parameters that unlock free access.
- If the link takes you to a registration page, complete the form without entering payment details. Free promotional links bypass the payment step automatically.
- If you cannot locate the link in any of the above locations, follow the steps in the next section.
