🎯 What are URL Indexer Credits?
URL Indexer credits allow you to submit URLs for indexing across your Search Atlas websites. Each credit covers the indexing of one URL. Credits are stored in your account and consumed whenever you submit URLs for indexing through the Indexer tool.
If you need to index a large batch of URLs—whether they belong to sites on your current plan or external domains—you can purchase additional credits on demand.
💳 How to Buy Credits
Follow these steps to purchase URL Indexer credits:
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Click Authority in the left sidebar.
- Select Indexer from the Authority menu.
- Look for the Top Up or quota purchase option in the interface.
- The purchase modal will display the current credit price (typically $0.10 per credit) and any available HyperDrive Credits you can convert first.
- Enter the number of credits you need. The minimum purchase is 10 credits.
- Review your payment method and complete the purchase.
Your credits are added to your account immediately and remain available until consumed.
💰 Pricing and Payment
URL Indexer credits are priced at $0.10 per credit, with a minimum purchase of 10 credits ($1.00). Before charging your payment method, Search Atlas will first convert any available HyperDrive Credits you have in your account toward the purchase. Any remaining balance is charged to your card.
Purchased credits do not expire and roll over across billing periods, so you can stockpile quota for future indexing campaigns.
📋 Indexing URLs Across Multiple Websites
You can use your purchased credits to index URLs from any website or domain, regardless of whether they are included in your current Search Atlas plan. Each URL submission consumes one credit, regardless of which site it belongs to.
To submit URLs for indexing:
- Go to Authority → Indexer.
- Select Index URLs.
- Paste or upload your URL list (you can include URLs from different domains in the same batch).
- Review the number of URLs and confirm the credit cost.
- Submit the batch.
Your credits will be consumed at a rate of 1 credit per submitted URL.
