The separate recurring charge on your account is the OTTO Google Ads (PPC) add-on — an optional, monthly recurring subscription billed independently from your core annual plan. Both charges appear in the same billing account but are separate line items.
What Is the OTTO Google Ads Add-On?
OTTO PPC automates Google Ads management. Every self-serve plan (Starter, Growth, and Pro) includes 1 connected Google Ads account and up to 10 campaigns; the add-on raises this to effectively unlimited account connections and up to 100 campaigns. It renews monthly regardless of whether your primary plan is billed annually or monthly.
Why Is This Charge Appearing?
The add-on was activated when you or a team member:
- Enabled OTTO PPC from the Search Atlas dashboard.
- Connected a Google Ads account and confirmed the add-on during setup.
Review Your Billing History
- Click your avatar in the top-right corner and go to Billing (Billing page).
- Scroll to Billing History for a full list of charges with dates.
- Look for line items labeled OTTO Google Ads or OTTO PPC.
- The earliest occurrence marks when billing started; count the entries to determine total months charged.
Cancel the Add-On
- Go to the avatar in the top-right corner → Billing → Plans & Top-ups tab.
- Locate the OTTO Google Ads or OTTO PPC quota row and use its Add-on button to manage the subscription.
- Click Cancel Add-On or Manage next to the line item.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
Access continues until the end of the current billing period, after which no further charges apply. If you cannot find the cancel option, contact Support via the in-app Help Widget with your billing email and the charge amount.
Refund Eligibility
Refunds for add-on charges are assessed case by case. Contact Support as soon as possible if the add-on was activated without your knowledge — the team can review the activation history and determine eligibility for recent charges.
