💡 Adding an Extra OTTO Site on Starter

Last updated on Oct 29, 2026

🔍 Overview

Many customers on the Starter plan want to test OTTO on more than one domain before deciding how to grow. This article explains how OTTO site limits work, what your options are for adding a second site, and how to ask about custom pricing.

📌 How OTTO Site Limits Work

Each Search Atlas plan includes a set number of sites that can have OTTO activated. Starter is built for smaller projects, so its OTTO site allowance is limited. If you want OTTO on another domain and you have already used your included site, the platform will not let you activate it until your plan changes.

  • OTTO site limits apply to the number of active OTTO domains on your account.
  • Upgrading your plan, including a recent upgrade, does not always change the OTTO site allowance. It depends on the plan you moved to.
  • Other features, such as reports and research tools, may have separate limits from OTTO.

✅ How to Check Your Current OTTO Allowance

  1. Log in to your Search Atlas account.
  2. Open your account or billing settings and review your current plan details.
  3. Open the OTTO section and check how many sites are currently active.
  4. Compare the active sites against your plan's included allowance.

If you have a free slot, you can add your second domain right away from the OTTO section.

🚀 Options for Testing OTTO on a Second Domain

If you have used all your OTTO slots, you generally have these options:

  • Upgrade your plan: A higher-tier plan typically includes more OTTO sites and additional features.
  • Swap sites: If you only need to compare results over time, you can deactivate OTTO on one domain and activate it on another. Keep in mind that changes OTTO has already applied to the first site may be affected, so confirm what you want to keep before switching.
  • Request a custom arrangement: If neither option fits your needs, you can ask our team whether an additional site is possible for your account.

💬 Can I Get Custom Pricing for an Additional OTTO Site?

You are welcome to ask. Custom requests are reviewed case by case by our team, so we cannot guarantee a specific outcome or price in advance. Availability may depend on your plan, your account history, and what you want to accomplish. Standard published pricing is always the baseline, and any custom option would be confirmed with you in chat before you are charged.

📝 How to Make a Request

  1. Open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform.
  2. Type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team.
  3. Share these details to speed things up:
    • The domain you currently use with OTTO.
    • The additional domain you want to test.
    • Your reason for testing, such as comparing results across two sites.
    • How long you plan to evaluate OTTO.
  4. Review the options our team presents and confirm the one that works for you.

💡 Tips for Evaluating OTTO on Two Domains

  • Pick comparable sites: Similar size, niche, and traffic levels make the results easier to compare.
  • Set a baseline first: Note your rankings, traffic, and key pages before activating OTTO.
  • Give it time: SEO changes can take weeks to show results, so avoid judging too early.
  • Track changes: Keep a simple log of what OTTO applied and when.

Will I be charged without confirming? No. Any change to your plan or pricing is discussed with you first.

Can I switch OTTO between my domains? In many cases, yes. Confirm the impact on your existing optimizations before switching.
