GBP Automation in Search Atlas operates on a monthly post quota system — not a per-credit deduction. Your plan includes a fixed number of automated Google Business Profile posts per billing cycle, tracked independently from Universal Credits, Hyperdrive Credits, and AI Gen Points.
📋 How the Post Quota Works
Every Search Atlas plan that includes GBP Automation comes with a monthly post allowance covering all posts scheduled and published through the Automated Posting feature across your connected GBP locations.
- The exact quota depends on your subscription tier — it is not a universal fixed number.
- Your dashboard shows total posts allowed, posts used, and posts remaining (for example, 24 of 25 used).
- GBP Automation posts are completely separate from Hyperdrive Credits, which power Cloud Stacks, Citations, and Press Releases. Using those features does not affect your post count.
- The quota resets automatically at the start of your next billing cycle.
🔍 How to Check Your Remaining Post Quota
- Log in to your Search Atlas dashboard.
- In the left sidebar, go to Local → Posts (GBP Posts).
- Review the quota summary displayed on that screen — it shows your total allowance, posts used, and posts remaining.
- You can also verify your quota via the top-right avatar → Settings (Account Menu) or top-right avatar → Billing.
⚠️ What to Do When Your Quota Runs Out
Once your monthly post quota is exhausted, GBP Automation will pause and stop publishing new posts. Scheduled posts will not go out until the quota resets at the start of your next billing cycle. If you need to continue posting before the reset, contact the Search Atlas support team via live chat to discuss your plan options.
🛠️ Known Issue: Automation Blocked Despite Available Posts
A known project count mismatch can sometimes incorrectly block GBP Automation from running even when your quota still shows posts remaining. If your automation has stopped unexpectedly and the dashboard confirms posts are still available, this discrepancy may be the cause. Contact support and share a screenshot of your quota screen so the team can investigate and resolve it promptly.
