🗺️ Overview

The AI Search Summit uses two separate platforms: Search Atlas (the SEO tool you already have) and Circle (a community platform where Summit content, homework, and discussions are hosted). These are different accounts. You need both to participate fully in the Summit.

🔵 What Is a Circle Account?

Circle is an independent community platform — it is not part of Search Atlas. Your Search Atlas login will not work on Circle. The Summit uses Circle to host:

  • Live session replays and resources
  • Daily homework assignments
  • Community discussion threads
  • Announcements from the Search Atlas team

You must create a separate Circle account using the invitation link provided in your Summit pre-event checklist email.

✅ How to Create Your Circle Account

  1. Open the Summit pre-event checklist email you received after registering for the AI Search Summit.
  2. Locate the step that directs you to join the Circle community and click the invitation link included there. This link is unique to the Summit — do not use the general Circle website to sign up.
  3. On the Circle sign-up page, enter your name and email address. Use the same email address you registered for the Summit with to ensure your access is recognised.
  4. Create a password and complete any profile fields requested.
  5. Submit the sign-up form to create your account.
  6. Check your email inbox for a Circle verification message and confirm your address.
  7. Once verified, you can log in to Circle and access the Summit space using the invitation link or by navigating to the Summit community inside Circle.

Important: If you do not have the pre-event checklist email, check your spam or promotions folder. Search for sender terms such as "Search Atlas Summit" or "Circle." If you still cannot find it, contact the team using the chat widget below.

📝 Day 1 Homework: Creating a Press Release

The Day 1 homework assignment asks you to create a press release using Search Atlas. This task is completed inside the Search Atlas platform — not inside Circle. Circle is where you submit or share your completed homework; Search Atlas is where you build it.

🛠️ How to Complete the Press Release Homework

  1. Log in to your Search Atlas account at the platform URL you normally use.
  2. Refer to the Day 1 homework instructions posted in your Circle community space for the specific tool and steps to use — the instructions there will tell you exactly which Search Atlas feature to open and what inputs to provide.
  3. Follow the homework brief to generate and review your press release draft. Edit as needed.
  4. Once your press release is ready, return to Circle and follow the submission or sharing instructions provided in the Day 1 homework post.
