## **🔍 Overview**

If you run multiple businesses or white-label services under different brand identities, it is important to understand which Search Atlas feature fits your situation. There are two distinct scenarios, and choosing the wrong setup can limit your branding options or cause confusion across client workspaces.

## **⚖️ The Two Scenarios at a Glance**

Before diving into the details, use this quick guide to identify your situation:

- **You manage multiple clients under one agency brand** → Use Brand Vaults inside a single Search Atlas account.
- **You operate two or more businesses with different logos, names, or white-label branding** → You need a separate Search Atlas account for each business.

## **🏷️ What Brand Vaults Do (and Do Not Do)**

Brand Vaults are designed for agencies that work with multiple clients but operate under a **single agency identity**. A Brand Vault lets you store each client's logo, colors, and brand assets so that reports and deliverables reflect that client's branding — all from within one Search Atlas account.

**Brand Vaults are the right choice when:**

- You have one agency with one logo and one Search Atlas subscription.
- You produce white-labeled reports for individual clients, each with their own look and feel.
- All client work is managed by the same internal team under the same business entity.

**Brand Vaults cannot:**

- Give two separate agencies or business entities their own distinct platform identity.
- Support different agency logos appearing across the platform interface itself.
- Function as isolated account environments for separate legal or operating entities.

## **🏗️ When You Need Separate Search Atlas Accounts**

If you operate two or more white-label businesses — for example, two marketing agencies with different names, logos, and client rosters — each business requires its own dedicated Search Atlas account. This is the only way to maintain fully separate branding, billing, team access, and platform environments per company.

**Separate accounts are required when:**

- Two businesses have different company names and logos that must appear independently throughout the platform.
- Each business has its own clients, and those clients should never see data or branding from the other business.
- You need separate team member access controls and billing for each entity.
- You are reselling Search Atlas under different white-label brands and need complete separation.

In your case — two marketing agencies with different names and logos serving separate client bases — **you need two separate Search Atlas accounts**, one for each agency.

## **📋 Setting Up Multiple Accounts**

Creating a separate account for each business is straightforward. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Sign up for a new Search Atlas account using the credentials and billing information for the second business entity.
2. Configure the white-label branding settings within that new account to reflect the second agency's name and logo.
3. Invite the relevant team members to each account separately, so access remains isolated per business.
4. Set up Brand Vaults within each account as needed to manage individual client branding under each agency.
