# **🧭 Overview**

The Search Atlas WordPress plugin uses a unique identifier called the **OTTO Pixel UUID** to link your WordPress site to your Search Atlas project. This article shows you exactly where to find that UUID and how to complete the connection.

# **🔍 Where to Find Your OTTO Pixel UUID**

The OTTO Pixel UUID is located inside the **OTTO SEO** section of Search Atlas, not in general project settings. Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Search Atlas account.
2. In the left sidebar, click **OTTO SEO → All Sites** (SEO Automation). This takes you to the OTTO automation dashboard (`/seo-automation-v3`).
3. Locate the project that corresponds to your WordPress site (for example, *causemarketing.ca*). If you have not created a project for your site yet, click **Create** to add it.
4. Open the project by clicking on its name or the associated settings icon.
5. Inside the project view, look for the **OTTO Pixel** section. Your unique **UUID** is displayed here as a string of letters and numbers (for example, `xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx`).
6. Click the copy icon next to the UUID to copy it to your clipboard.

**Important:** The OTTO Pixel UUID is project-specific. Make sure you are inside the correct project before copying the UUID.

# **⚙️ Install and Configure the Search Atlas WordPress Plugin**

Once you have your UUID, follow these steps to connect your WordPress site:

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard at `yourdomain.com/wp-admin`.
2. Go to **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin** and upload the Search Atlas plugin .zip file provided by Search Atlas.
3. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate** the plugin.
4. In the WordPress left menu, click **Search Atlas** to open the plugin settings.
5. Paste your **OTTO Pixel UUID** into the designated field.
6. Click **Save** to confirm the connection.

After saving, return to the OTTO SEO dashboard in Search Atlas. Your site status should update to show an active connection within a few minutes.

# **✅ Verify the Connection Is Working**

To confirm that the plugin is connected correctly:

- Go to **OTTO SEO → All Sites** (SEO Automation) in the left sidebar of Search Atlas.
- Check that your site appears under the **Active** tab. The dashboard shows counts such as **Active 20** — your site should be included in this list once connected.
- If the site still shows as inactive after five minutes, try deactivating and reactivating the plugin in WordPress, then verify the UUID was pasted without extra spaces.

# **🛠️ Common Issues and Fixes**

- **Cannot find the OTTO SEO section:** OTTO SEO is included in all Search Atlas plans. If the left sidebar does not show OTTO SEO, contact support via the chat widget.
- **No UUID is displayed inside the project:** Confirm the project has been fully created and saved. Partially created projects may not yet display the OTTO Pixel UUID.
- **Site not switching to Active status:** Clear your browser cache, then check that the UUID in WordPress matches exactly what is shown in Search Atlas — no extra characters or spaces.
- **Multiple sites:** Each WordPress site requires its own Search Atlas project and its own unique OTTO Pixel UUID. Do not reuse the same UUID across different sites.
