🔍 Overview
Search Atlas offers powerful content creation tools across all plans, but the number of articles you can create and publish each month depends on your current subscription tier. This article explains how those limits work, where to check your usage, and what happens when you reach your plan's threshold.
📊 How Content Creation Limits Work
Each Search Atlas plan includes a set monthly allocation for AI-generated content created through the SEO Content Assistant and related tools. These limits reset at the start of each billing cycle.
The term "unlimited 1-click content publishing" refers to the ability to publish articles directly to your connected site without additional publishing fees — it does not mean an unlimited number of articles can be generated each month. The number of articles you can create is determined by your plan tier.
- Starter plans include a limited monthly article quota suitable for individuals or small projects (exact number shown on your Plan & Usage page).
- Pro plans include a significantly higher quota designed for growing teams and agencies (exact number shown on your Plan & Usage page).
- Enterprise plans offer the highest allocations with custom options available.
⚙️ Where to Check Your Current Usage
To see how many articles you have remaining in your current billing period, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Navigate to Content in the left sidebar.
- Select Content Genius (What are we writing today?) from the content tools available.
- Your remaining article credits for the current period are displayed at the top of the page or within your account usage summary.
You can also review your plan details and feature limits by visiting your account billing or subscription settings.
🛠️ Content Tools Included in Your Plan
Regardless of your plan tier, you have access to the full suite of content tools in the left sidebar under Content, including:
- On-Page Audit — Analyse and optimise existing content for SEO.
- Topical Maps — Plan content clusters around core topics.
- Content Planner — Organise and schedule your content strategy.
- Scholar — Research-backed content insights.
- Meta Generator — Create optimised meta titles and descriptions.
- AI Content Templates — Use pre-built templates to speed up content creation.
The key difference between plans is the number of full AI-generated articles you can create each month, not access to the tools themselves.
🚀 When You See an Upgrade Prompt
If you are prompted to upgrade to a Pro or higher plan while trying to create content, it means one of the following:
- You have used all of your monthly article credits for your current plan.
- A specific feature or higher output volume you are trying to access requires a higher tier.
Upgrading your plan will immediately restore or increase your article creation limit for the remainder of your billing cycle. You will not lose any content already created.
💡 Tips to Make the Most of Your Plan
- Use Content Planner to prioritise which articles to create first so you use your monthly credits on the highest-impact topics.
- Use Topical Maps to map out your content strategy before generating articles, reducing the need to recreate or revise content.
- Use AI Content Templates for shorter content needs that may consume fewer credits than full article generation.
