📋 Overview
This article explains how to review your purchase history and service spend within Search Atlas, check your OTTO SEO implementer activity, and manage site audit recrawls. Whether you need to confirm what was purchased in a specific month or review how credits have been used, this guide walks you through each step.
💳 How to View Your Purchase History
To review the services you have purchased and the amounts spent in a given month, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Click on your profile icon or account name in the top-right corner of the platform.
- Select Billing or Subscription from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to the Purchase History or Invoices section.
- Use the date filter to select the month you want to review (for example, September).
- You will see a list of all services purchased, including the date, service name, and amount charged.
Each line item in your purchase history corresponds to a specific service or credit package. If you purchased additional OTTO activations, site audit credits, or other add-ons, these will appear as individual entries.
🤖 Understanding OTTO SEO Implementer Activity
OTTO SEO is Search Atlas's AI-powered SEO automation tool. It implements on-page and technical SEO recommendations directly on your connected sites.
To review your OTTO SEO activity:
- In the left sidebar, click OTTO SEO.
- You will see a list of all sites that have OTTO activated.
- Click on a specific site to view the tasks OTTO has implemented, including the date each action was taken.
- The implementer log shows which recommendations were applied, such as meta tag updates, schema additions, or internal linking changes.
If you want to check how many OTTO activations you have used versus how many remain in your plan, this information is available on the same Billing page under your subscription details.
🔄 How to Trigger a Site Audit Recrawl
A site audit recrawl allows Search Atlas to re-scan your website and update its technical health data with the latest findings. This is useful after you have made changes to your site and want to verify that issues have been resolved.
To run a site audit recrawl:
- In the left sidebar, click Site Metrics.
- Select the site you want to recrawl from the list.
- Go to the Overview tab for that site.
- Look for the Recrawl or Run Audit button, typically located near the top of the page.
- Click the button to start the recrawl. The time to complete depends on the size of your site.
- Once the crawl is finished, your site audit data will refresh automatically.
Note: Recrawls may consume crawl credits depending on your plan. Check your credit balance before initiating a large crawl.
📊 Tracking Spend on Specific Services
If you need a breakdown of how much was spent on a particular service type in a given month, keep the following in mind:
- OTTO activations are charged per site activated. Each new site you connect and activate OTTO on counts as one activation.
- Site audit credits are consumed each time a crawl is run. Larger sites use more credits.
- Additional purchases such as content generation, backlink credits, or plan upgrades will also appear in your billing history with clear labels.
All charges are listed with timestamps, so filtering by month gives you a complete picture of your spend for that period.
💡 Tips for Managing Your Account Spend
- Review your billing page at the start of each month to stay on top of usage.
- Deactivate OTTO on sites you are no longer actively optimising to avoid unnecessary charges.
- Schedule recrawls strategically — run them after completing a batch of site changes rather than frequently throughout the month.
- Check your plan limits regularly to avoid unexpected overage charges.
