# **🏢 Overview**

Brand Vaults let you create, manage, and scale multiple brand intelligence profiles from a single workspace. Whether you're running multiple client domains or managing different business entities, this is where every brand begins. Instead of thinking in terms of "projects," Brand Vaults function as independent brand engines, each with its own structured data, AI configuration, and optimization layer.

# **📍 Where to Access Brand Vaults**

Inside the Search Atlas dashboard: Top-right corner → **More Features** icon (also shown as an Apps/grid icon, four squares) → Brand Vault.

This is the management layer, not the editing layer. Here you can view all Brand Vaults in Tile or List view, see Active vs. Archived vaults, search by brand name or domain, filter vaults, create a new Brand Vault, and archive existing ones. Each vault card shows the brand name, domain, status, section indicators (Business Info, Brand Voice, Locations, Knowledge Graph, Style Guide, Content Rules), an Open Vault button, and a three-dot menu with an Archive option.

# **➕ How to Create a New Brand Vault**

Click "Create Brand Vault" in the top-right,

then fill in the two required fields: Brand Name and Website URL.

When you click "Create & Start Processing," Search Atlas crawls the provided domain, extracts business-relevant data, automatically populates foundational Brand Vault sections, and generates an initial structured entity profile. This auto-scan significantly reduces manual setup time, you're not starting from zero.

# **🔍 What Happens After Creation?**

Once processing completes, the vault appears in your dashboard as Active, section indicators reflect detected data, and you can click "Open Vault" to enter the configuration environment.

# **🔓 What Does "Open Vault" Do?**

Clicking Open Vault takes you inside the individual Brand Vault configuration layer,

where you'll see Vault, Business Information, Locations, Content, Knowledge Graph, and Style Guide. This is where editing, refinement, and optimization occur, the dashboard creates vaults, and the internal view configures them.

# **🗄️ Archiving a Brand Vault**

From the three-dot menu on any vault card, select Archive Brand Vault. Archiving removes it from the active list, preserves all data, does not delete the vault permanently, and allows later recovery from "View Archived." This is useful for client churn, brand consolidation, paused campaigns, and internal testing environments.

# **🧠 Understanding the Architecture**

Think of it as a workspace containing multiple Brand Vaults, each with its own individual vault and structured AI/SEO configuration. Each vault is independent: AI agents, automation systems, schema generation, and content rules operate within the boundaries of a specific vault, ensuring data isolation, brand consistency, scalable multi-client management, and clean automation logic.

# **🎯 When Should You Create Multiple Brand Vaults?**

Create separate vaults when managing multiple client domains, handling multi-location brands with distinct identities, running separate product lines, segmenting agencies under white-label structures, or operating different business entities. Do not merge distinct brands into one vault, each vault should represent one coherent brand identity.

Brand Vaults are more than containers, they are structured intelligence environments. Every automation, AI suggestion, schema layer, and optimization decision begins here. As your agency expands, your Brand Vault architecture becomes the foundation that keeps everything aligned, automated, and intelligently connected.
