📋 Overview
The Search Atlas Report Builder lets you create professional, branded SEO reports for your clients or internal teams. Each plan includes a set number of reports you can generate per month. This article explains how those limits work, where to check your current usage, and what to expect when you run reports on a regular schedule.
🔍 Where to Find the Report Builder
To access the Report Builder, go to the left sidebar and click Reports. This takes you to the projects list at /report-builder/projects-list, where you can view, create, and manage all your SEO reports.
📊 How Monthly Report Limits Work
Your Search Atlas plan includes a monthly quota that defines the maximum number of SEO reports you can create within a calendar month. Key things to know about how this quota works:
- Quota resets monthly: Your report allowance refreshes at the start of each billing cycle, so unused reports do not carry over to the following month.
- Each report counts once: Creating a new report project counts as one report toward your monthly limit. Editing or updating an existing report does not consume an additional credit.
- Running once a month fits easily: If your workflow involves generating one report per client or project per month, this cadence is well within the designed use of the tool and should align comfortably with most plan quotas.
- Quota is account-wide: The limit applies to your entire account, not per user or per workspace.
✅ Does Running a Report Once a Month Fit My Plan?
For the vast majority of customers, running reports once a month per client or project fits well within plan limits. Here is a simple way to think about it:
- Count the number of active clients or projects for which you need monthly reports.
- Compare that number against your plan's monthly report quota.
- If your client count is at or below your quota, you are fully covered for a once-a-month cadence.
For example, if your plan allows 20 reports per month and you manage 15 clients, creating one report per client each month uses 15 of your 20 available reports — leaving 5 reports as a buffer for ad-hoc or one-off requests.
📈 Checking Your Current Usage and Plan Quota
To see how many reports you have used and how many remain in the current period:
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Click the top-right avatar (Account Menu) and go to Billing → Plans & Top-ups.
- Look for the Plan Usage or Quota summary, which shows your current report count alongside your monthly limit.
If you are unsure where to find this information in your specific plan view, the live chat widget can point you to the right place instantly.
⚠️ What Happens If You Reach Your Limit
If your account reaches its monthly report quota before the period resets, you will not be able to create new reports until the quota refreshes at the start of your next billing cycle. To avoid interruptions:
- Monitor your usage regularly, especially if you manage a large number of clients.
- Plan report creation in advance so you do not exhaust your quota early in the month.
- Consider upgrading your plan if you consistently need more reports than your current quota allows.
🚀 Upgrading Your Plan for Higher Quotas
If your monthly report needs exceed your current plan's quota, upgrading to a higher-tier plan increases the number of reports available to you each month. To explore upgrade options, go to the top-right avatar (Account Menu) → Billing → Plans & Top-ups and review the available plans. You can upgrade directly from that page.
💡 Tips for Managing Reports Efficiently
- Reuse report templates: Build a report template once and duplicate it for each client — this keeps your branding consistent and saves setup time each month.
- Archive inactive projects: Keep your projects list tidy by archiving reports for clients you are no longer actively working with.
- Schedule thoughtfully: If you produce reports for many clients, stagger creation across the first week of the month so you always have capacity available.
