## **💡 Overview of the Pricing Page**

The Search Atlas pricing page, located at **/pricing**, lets you compare every subscription plan side by side, including features, pricing, and usage limits. Two limits customers frequently ask about are **GBP** (Google Business Profile locations) and **HDC** units. This article explains what these terms mean and lists the exact limits included with each plan, so you always know what to expect before you subscribe or upgrade.

## **📖 What GBP and HDC Mean**

- **GBP (Google Business Profile):** The number of Google Business Profile locations you can connect and manage in Search Atlas. GBPs are used for local SEO work such as managing business listings, posts, and review tracking.
- **HDC:** A plan-based resource included with Search Atlas subscriptions. Your plan level determines how many HDC units you can use. HDC is not included with the Starter plan and becomes available starting with the Growth plan.

## **📊 GBP and HDC Limits by Plan**

Every Search Atlas plan includes a set number of GBP locations and HDC units. Here are the exact limits for each plan:

- **Starter:** 3 GBP, 0 HDC
- **Growth:** 10 GBP, 10 HDC
- **Pro:** 25 GBP, 30 HDC
- **Agency:** 100 GBP, 100 HDC

Limits are tied to your plan level, not your billing cycle. Switching between monthly and annual billing does not change the number of GBP locations or HDC units included.

## **🧭 How to View and Compare Plans**

To review plans and pricing at any time, follow these steps:

1. Open your browser and go to the Search Atlas **/pricing** page.
2. Review each plan card to compare price, features, and limits.
3. If annual billing is available for your account, toggle between monthly and annual options to see updated pricing.
4. Compare the GBP and HDC limits against the number of business locations and HDC units you need.

## **🚀 How to Upgrade Your Plan**

If you need more GBP locations or HDC units than your current plan includes, upgrading is the fastest way to increase both limits:

1. Log in to your Search Atlas account.
2. Go to the **/pricing** page.
3. Select the plan that matches the limits you need.
4. Confirm your billing details and complete the checkout process.
5. Your new plan limits are applied to your account right away.

## **🛠️ Choosing the Right Plan**

Use these quick guidelines to pick the best fit:

- **Starter:** Best for individuals or small businesses managing a single location and basic SEO needs.
- **Growth:** Ideal for growing businesses that need more GBP locations plus HDC access.
- **Pro:** Suited for larger teams handling multiple locations and heavier workloads.
- **Agency:** Designed for agencies managing many client locations at scale, with the highest GBP and HDC limits.

## **❓ Frequently Asked Questions**

- **What happens if I reach my GBP or HDC limit?** Your current plan limits stay in place until you upgrade. Upgrading to a higher plan immediately increases your GBP and HDC allowances.
- **Does the Starter plan include HDC?** No. Starter includes 3 GBP locations and 0 HDC units. HDC access begins with the Growth plan, which includes 10 HDC units.
- **Can I get more than 100 GBP or 100 HDC?** The Agency plan includes 100 GBP locations and 100 HDC units. If you need more than these amounts, our team can review your options with you.
- **Do my limits reset each month?** These limits describe what is included with your plan for the life of your subscription. They are not a monthly allowance that resets, and unused capacity does not roll over.
