## **Overview**

Google Business Profile (GBP) Automation lets you publish posts to your GBP listing directly from Search Atlas. Each post you publish through this feature consumes credits from your account. This article explains the credit cost per GBP Automation post and how to check your credit usage.

## **Credit Cost Per GBP Automation Post**

Each GBP Automation post consumes **1 credit** per post published. This applies each time a post is generated and published to your Google Business Profile through the GBP Automation feature in Search Atlas.

## **How to Check Your Credit Usage**

You can monitor your credit consumption directly inside Search Atlas by following these steps:

1. Log in to your **Search Atlas** account.
2. Click your avatar in the top-right corner and navigate to the **Billing** section (tabs: Plans & Top-ups, Services, Invoices, Activity Log).
3. Go to **Plans & Top-ups** (Your Plan and Credits) to see a breakdown of how credits have been spent across categories, including **Local**.
4. If you want to confirm the per-post cost before publishing, review the credit balance shown on the GBP Automation dashboard before and after a test post.

## **What to Have Ready If You Need Support**

If your credit usage does not match what you expect, please have the following information on hand before reaching out:

- Your **account name** or the email address associated with your Search Atlas account
- The **date and time** of any GBP Automation posts in question
- The **exact credit balance** before and after the post was published, if available
- Any **error messages or unexpected deductions** you have observed
