## **❓ Overview**

Many customers ask whether Search Atlas offers hands-on SEO consulting, where a specialist works with you to apply the recommendations in your Search Atlas reports. This article explains your options for getting help with implementation, what to prepare before asking for a quote, and how to reach our team.

## **🧭 Two Ways to Get SEO Work Done**

Most customers choose one of two approaches, or combine them:

- **Do it yourself with platform tools:** Use Search Atlas reports and automation features to find issues and act on them with your own team.
- **Get hands-on help:** Work with a specialist or implementation partner who applies the recommendations for you.

The right choice depends on your team's time, technical skills, and how quickly you want results.

## **🛠️ What the Platform Does for You**

Search Atlas is built to turn SEO data into clear next steps. Depending on your plan, you can:

- Run site audits to find technical problems and prioritize fixes.
- Track keyword rankings and monitor your progress over time.
- Research keywords and competitors to decide what to work on next.
- Use **OTTO SEO** to automate and speed up on-site optimization tasks.
- Create and improve content with AI-assisted writing tools.
- Review backlink data to find link-building opportunities.

These tools are designed to reduce manual work, so many customers can act on their reports without outside help.

## **🤝 About Hands-On Consulting and Implementation**

If you want a specialist to work alongside you, our team can explain which hands-on or managed options are available for your account. Availability, scope, and pricing depend on your plan, your website, and your goals, so there is no single standard quote. Our team will confirm what is available and give you accurate details instead of a generic estimate.

Hands-on support generally covers things like:

- Reviewing your Search Atlas reports and turning them into a prioritized action plan.
- Applying on-page and technical SEO fixes.
- Guidance on content and link-building strategy.
- Progress reviews against your goals.

Which of these are included in a specific service is confirmed by our team when you ask for a quote.

## **📝 What to Prepare Before Requesting a Quote**

Having this information ready helps us give you a faster, more accurate answer:

1. **Your website URL** and the platform it runs on (for example WordPress, Shopify, or a custom build).
2. **Your main goals**, such as more organic traffic, more leads, better local rankings, or recovery from a traffic drop.
3. **Your current plan** in Search Atlas and whether your site is already connected to the platform.
4. **The scope of help you want**, such as a one-time audit and action plan, ongoing monthly support, or help with specific fixes only.
5. **Your timeline and budget range**, if you have one.
6. **Who will approve changes** on your side and whether our team will need access to your website.

## **⚙️ How to Get the Most From Your Reports in the Meantime**

While you wait for details on hands-on help, you can already make progress:

1. Run or refresh your site audit and sort the issues by priority.
2. Fix high-impact issues first, such as broken pages, missing titles, and slow-loading pages.
3. Choose a small set of target keywords tied to your business goals.
4. Use the content tools to improve existing pages that are close to ranking well.
5. Check your rankings regularly so you can see what is working.

This also gives a specialist a head start if you decide to work with one.
