🛠️ Cancel and Request a Refund

🛑 Stop further site changes If OTTO SEO changes affected your site, stop additional updates before troubleshooting. In the platform, open OTTO SEO from the left sidebar, select All Sites, choose the affected site, and use Freeze sites. Freezing prevents further automated changes while you review the issue. 🔍 Review the affected changes 1. Open OTTO SEO from the left sidebar. 2. Review Overview, Crawl Monitoring, and All Audits for recent activity and affected pages. 3. Compare the current appearance with your previous site version, backup, or staging environment. 4. Record the affected URLs and describe the visual or functional problem, such as changed spacing, colors, layouts, or page elements. If your website has a backup or version-control system, restore the last known-good version according to your normal website management process. Avoid making additional automated changes until the issue is resolved. 💳 Cancel your subscription To cancel, open the account or billing area available in your Search Atlas platform and follow the cancellation instructions. Cancellation stops future renewals according to the terms shown during the process. Freezing a site and cancelling your subscription are separate actions, so freeze affected sites first if you need to prevent more changes immediately. 💰 Request a refund Refunds are reviewed based on your plan, purchase date, renewal status, and the circumstances of the request. Cancellation does not automatically guarantee a refund. Include the following information with your request: - The account or workspace affected - The date and time you noticed the problem - Affected page URLs - A description of the visual or functional damage - Screenshots or other evidence showing the issue - Whether the site was frozen, restored, or changed after the incident Do not share passwords or other sensitive information. A team member can review the account, explain available options, and confirm whether a refund is approved. 🤝 Get help with site damage If the site is broken, the visual appearance changed unexpectedly, or you cannot find the cancellation or billing option, include the affected URLs and screenshots when contacting support.

🧊 Cancel OTTO Subscription and Deep Freeze Sites

🧭 Overview If you plan to cancel your OTTO subscription, understanding how Deep Freeze interacts with your billing cycle is essential. This article explains what Deep Freeze does, how it affects charges, and the steps to follow before cancelling. ❄️ What Is Deep Freeze? Deep Freeze pauses OTTO's active automation on a site without permanently removing it. When a site is deep frozen: - OTTO stops deploying new SEO tasks on that site. - The site continues to count against your OTTO slot limit for 14 days, after which the slot is released automatically. - Previously deployed changes made by OTTO remain in place on your site. Deep Freeze is useful when you want to temporarily pause activity, but it is not the same as cancelling your subscription. Your subscription and its associated billing cycle continue independently of how many sites are frozen. 💳 How Billing Works With Deep Freeze Deep freezing all your sites does not cancel your OTTO subscription and does not stop future charges. Your plan renews automatically on your billing date regardless of site freeze status. To avoid a charge on an upcoming billing date, you must cancel the subscription itself before that date — freezing sites alone is not sufficient. Key billing facts to keep in mind: - Your subscription renews on the same date each month (visible in your billing settings). - Deep Freeze retains the work OTTO has already done on your sites even after you cancel. 🗓️ Example: Billing on September 7 If your billing date is September 7 and you want to avoid that charge: 1. You must cancel your OTTO subscription before September 7 — not just freeze your sites. 2. Deep freezing sites beforehand is optional but recommended if you want to pause automation while you decide. 3. After cancellation, the SEO changes OTTO previously deployed on your frozen sites are retained. Freezing all sites the day before your billing date will not prevent the charge unless the subscription is also cancelled. 🛠️ How to Deep Freeze a Site To deep freeze a site, navigate to OTTO SEO → All Sites (SEO Automation) → Deep Frozen tab and use the freeze option available for active sites. If you are unsure where to find this option, our support team can guide you through the process. ❌ How to Cancel Your OTTO Subscription To cancel your OTTO subscription, go to your billing settings within the platform and follow the cancellation steps provided there. Make sure to complete the cancellation before your next renewal date to avoid being charged for another billing period.

🚫 Cancel Your Free Trial Before Getting Charged

🎯 What This Article Covers If you are currently on a free trial and want to cancel before you are billed, this guide explains what you need to do and what to expect when you cancel. ⚠️ The Key Distinction: Cancellation vs. Immediate Termination Before you cancel, it is important to understand what actually happens when you do: - Canceling your trial stops future billing. You will not be charged when the trial period ends. - Canceling does not necessarily cut off your access right away. Depending on your account, you may retain access until the trial expiry date. - After the trial ends, your account may be downgraded automatically. Once the trial expires, access to paid features may be removed. In short: canceling means no charge, and you may continue to use the platform until your trial runs out. 🪜 How to Cancel Your Free Trial 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Navigate to your account's billing or subscription settings. 3. Locate your active trial plan and look for the option to cancel your trial or subscription. 4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the cancellation. 5. Look for a confirmation that your trial has been successfully canceled and that no payment will be taken. ✅ How to Confirm You Will Not Be Charged After completing the cancellation steps, verify the following to make sure everything went through correctly: - Your subscription status in your billing settings should reflect that the trial has been canceled. - There should be no upcoming charge shown on your account. - You may receive a cancellation confirmation email. If you do not receive one within a few minutes, check your spam folder. If your status still shows as active or you are unsure whether the cancellation was processed, do not wait — reach out for confirmation before your trial ends. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions - Will I lose access to Search Atlas the moment I cancel? Canceling your trial is intended to prevent the charge from occurring. Access behavior after cancellation may vary — check your account status after canceling. - Do I need to remove my payment method to avoid being charged? Canceling the trial is the recommended step to prevent billing. If you have concerns about a stored payment method, you can review your billing settings or contact support for confirmation.

💳 Cancel Your Yearly Plan and Reverse Charges

🗓️ Understanding Your Yearly Subscription When you purchase a yearly plan, you are billed a single lump-sum payment that covers 12 months of access. The subscription renews automatically on the same date the following year unless you cancel before the renewal date. If you have recently purchased a yearly plan and want to cancel, acting quickly gives you the best chance of a favourable outcome. 🚫 How to Cancel Your Yearly Subscription Follow these steps to cancel your plan and stop any future automatic renewal: 1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner of the platform. 2. Select Billing from the dropdown menu. 3. Open the Plans & Top-ups tab. 4. Click Manage Subscription. 5. Follow the on-screen prompts to cancel your subscription. Once cancelled, your plan will not renew on the next billing date. You will retain access to the platform until the end of your current paid period. 🧾 Checking Your Invoices You can review all charges related to your account at any time: 1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner. 2. Select Billing, then open the Invoices tab. 3. Use the Type and Status filters to locate the specific charge you want to review. This page shows all historical invoices, including the date, amount, and payment status for each transaction. 💰 Refund and Invoice Reversal Eligibility Search Atlas evaluates refund and invoice reversal requests on a case-by-case basis. The following factors are typically considered: - Time since purchase: Requests made shortly after the billing date are more likely to be approved. - Platform usage: Minimal usage of features and credits during the billing period is taken into account. - Reason for cancellation: Clear, documented reasons help the team process your request faster. Refunds are not guaranteed simply because a yearly plan was purchased. However, if you paid recently and have used very little of the platform, our team will do their best to find a fair resolution. 📋 What to Prepare Before Contacting Support To speed up your request, have the following information ready when you reach out: - The exact date of your payment and the amount charged. - The email address associated with your Search Atlas account. - A brief explanation of why you are requesting a cancellation and refund. - Any relevant invoice numbers found in the Invoices tab. ⚠️ Important Things to Know - Cancelling your subscription stops future renewals but does not automatically trigger a refund for the current billing period. - A refund or invoice reversal must be explicitly requested through the support team — it is not processed automatically. - Credits, add-ons, or top-ups purchased separately from the main plan are subject to their own refund terms. - Once a refund is issued, access to your plan may be revoked before the original end date. 🛠️ Need Help With Your Cancellation or Refund?

🚫 Subscription Cancellation Not Working? Here's Why

🔍 Overview Some customers have reported that after completing the cancellation flow, their account remains active and their subscription has not been cancelled. This article explains why this happens and what you can do right now. ⚙️ Why Is This Happening? This issue is caused by a backend API sync problem between our billing system and your account status. Specifically: - The cancellation request is submitted. - However, a background sync between the billing API and your account fails silently. - As a result, the cancellation is not fully recorded, and your subscription remains active. This means you may believe your cancellation was successful, but your account and billing status do not reflect it. This is not caused by anything you did incorrectly. Our engineering team has identified this as a backend API sync issue. 🚨 What You Should Not Do We strongly advise against the following until the issue is resolved by our team: - Do not attempt to cancel multiple times in quick succession. Repeated cancellation attempts do not resolve the underlying sync failure and may complicate the process of correcting your account. - Do not dispute the charge with your bank or card provider before contacting our support team. We can resolve this directly and quickly. ✅ What You Should Do Instead Follow these steps to get your cancellation processed correctly: 1. Note the date and time of each cancellation attempt you made, as well as any messages or confirmations you received. This information helps our team investigate faster. 2. Check your account status and note whether your subscription still appears active. 3. Contact our support team immediately. Our team can manually trigger the cancellation on the backend and ensure your billing is updated correctly. 📋 Information to Have Ready When you contact support, please have the following details ready to speed up the resolution: - Your registered email address. - The date(s) and approximate time(s) of your cancellation attempts. - The plan name shown on your account. - Whether you received any on-screen confirmation, and how many times you attempted to cancel. - Your billing method. 💡 What Happens After You Contact Us Once our team is notified, here is what to expect: - A support agent will verify your account and cancellation attempts. - The cancellation will be manually processed on the backend. - You will receive confirmation once your subscription has been successfully cancelled and your billing status has been updated.

💳 Resolve Billing Disputes and Cancel Your Subscription

🔍 Overview If you were charged unexpectedly, had trouble cancelling your subscription, or need a payment method removed from your account, this article explains what to expect and how our support team can help resolve the situation quickly. ⚙️ How to Cancel Your Subscription To cancel your Search Atlas subscription, log in to your account and navigate to your account's billing or subscription settings area. Look for an option to cancel or manage your active plan and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation. Once cancelled, you should receive a confirmation email. Your access typically continues until the end of the current billing period. If you do not receive a confirmation email or encounter any difficulty completing the cancellation, do not attempt to cancel multiple times — contact our support team immediately using the instructions at the bottom of this article. 💡 Why You May Have Been Charged After Trying to Cancel An unexpected charge after a cancellation attempt usually happens for one of the following reasons: - The cancellation flow was not completed fully — the final confirmation step was missed. - A technical error prevented the cancellation from being saved on our end. - The charge was processed before the cancellation was received, due to billing cycle timing. - A second subscription or add-on remained active on the account. In all of these cases, our support team can investigate your account history and clarify exactly what occurred. 💳 How to Remove a Payment Method from Your Account To remove a saved card from your Search Atlas account, navigate to your account's billing settings and look for an option to manage or remove payment methods. The Remove option is only available when you have more than one card on file, so you may need to add another card before you can remove an existing one. Removing a card does not cancel your subscription. If you still cannot remove it after cancelling, our team can action this on your behalf. 🚀 How to Request a Refund for an Unauthorized Charge If you believe you were charged without authorisation, here is what to do: 1. Do not immediately file a chargeback with your bank. Doing so before contacting us can delay resolution and may lock your account. 2. Gather the following information before reaching out: the charge amount, the date it appeared on your statement, and the email address associated with your Search Atlas account. 3. Contact our support team directly (see below). A member of our team will review your account history, confirm whether a valid cancellation was recorded, and advise on refund eligibility.

🛑 Stop Past-Due Billing After Trial Cancellation

🔍 Why This Happens When you cancel a free trial, the subscription may remain active in the billing system until the trial period ends. If a payment method is on file, the system can still attempt to charge it, resulting in past-due invoices and email notifications. ⚙️ What Our Team Does to Fix It Our billing specialists move any unpaid invoices to uncollectible status in Stripe and cancel the subscription there as well. This stops all future charge attempts immediately. 📋 Steps to Resolve It Yourself 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform. 3. Type human teammate to connect with a billing specialist. 4. Provide your account email and mention that you cancelled a trial but are still receiving past-due notices. 5. The agent will update the invoice to uncollectible and cancel the subscription in Stripe, which prevents any further charges. ✅ What to Expect Afterward Once the agent confirms the changes, you will no longer receive past-due emails, and no further charges will be attempted on your payment method. 🛡️ Prevention Tips - Cancel trials at least 24 hours before the trial ends to allow full processing. - Remove payment methods from your account if you do not plan to continue after a trial. - Check your subscription status in the billing section after cancellation to confirm it shows as cancelled. 💬 Need Help?

Verify Your Subscription Cancellation Is Complete

🔍 Why Cancellation Confirmation Matters Submitting a cancellation request does not always feel final. You may be unsure whether your plan, your Top-Up, or both have been fully processed. This article explains how to verify your cancellation status and what to do if anything still appears active. 📋 What Gets Cancelled A full cancellation on your Search Atlas account typically covers two separate items: - Your subscription plan — the recurring monthly or annual billing for your Search Atlas tier. - Any active Top-Ups — additional usage credits billed separately from your main plan. Both must be cancelled independently. Confirming only one does not guarantee the other has stopped. 🗂️ How to Check Your Cancellation Status To verify whether your cancellation has been fully processed, review the billing section of your account and look for the current status of your subscription plan and any Top-Ups. If both your plan and any Top-Ups show as cancelled or inactive, your cancellation has been fully processed. If you are unsure where to find this information or the status is unclear, contact our support team directly. An agent can verify and confirm the cancellation on the backend — exactly as our team does when resolving these cases. ⚠️ What to Do If Something Still Appears Active If your plan or a Top-Up still shows as active after you initiated a cancellation request, do not submit a new cancellation request right away. Duplicate requests can complicate your billing record. Instead, reach out to our support team so an agent can check the status and confirm the cancellation on the backend. Our team handles these verifications directly and can resolve any discrepancy quickly. 💡 Tips for a Clean Cancellation - Check both your subscription plan status and any Top-Up status after any cancellation action — both must be cancelled independently. - Keep a record or screenshot of any cancellation confirmation you receive, in case you need to reference it later. - If you cancelled close to your renewal date, your access may continue until the end of the current billing period — this is expected and does not mean the cancellation failed. 💬 Still Need Confirmation? If you have reviewed your account and are still unsure whether your cancellation is complete, our team can verify this directly on the backend. If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team.

🚫 Cancel Your Free Trial Subscription

After that, your account will revert to a free plan. ⚠️ Common Cancellation Errors Sometimes a cancellation may appear to go through but does not actually process. Here are signs that your cancellation may not have completed successfully: - No confirmation message appeared after you clicked cancel. - The subscription status still shows Active after refreshing the page. - You received an error message during the cancellation flow. - The cancellation page froze or became unresponsive. - You did not receive a cancellation confirmation email. If any of these situations occur, your trial may still be active and you could be charged when the trial period ends. 🛠️ What to Do If Cancellation Fails If your cancellation did not go through, take these steps right away: 1. Refresh your browser and repeat the cancellation steps listed above. 2. Try using a different browser or an incognito/private window. 3. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then attempt cancellation again. 4. Check whether you received a cancellation confirmation email (be sure to check your spam or junk folder).

You keep paid features until day seven. - Check your email: A cancellation confirmation email is the best proof that your cancellation was processed. - Reach out early: If you notice an issue, contact us as soon as possible.

🛠️ Fix Subscription Cancellation and Billing Errors

🔍 Overview Some customers encounter an error when trying to cancel their subscription that reads something like "no cancellable products found." This is typically caused by a billing system conflict — for example, a failed payment on a secondary charge (such as a top-up or add-on) that interferes with your main subscription status. This article explains why it happens and what to do. ⚠️ Why This Happens Search Atlas uses a billing system that manages multiple types of charges: your core subscription, add-ons, and top-up credits. In certain edge cases, the following issues can cause cancellation to fail: - A failed payment on a top-up or add-on invoice places your account in an inconsistent state, making the system unable to identify a cancellable product. - Stale or unresolved invoices — sometimes an old unpaid invoice lingers in the system and triggers false billing alerts or blocks account actions. - Billing provider mismatches — if your subscription was processed through a third-party provider (such as Shopify), the cancellation path may differ from standard subscriptions and require manual handling. - Incorrect dunning or cancellation emails — you may have received a cancellation or payment failure notice even though your main subscription is healthy. This is a known billing edge case that our team has resolved at the system level. ✅ What to Do If Cancellation Fails 1. Do not attempt to cancel multiple times. Repeated attempts will not resolve the underlying billing conflict and may complicate the process further. 2. Check your email for any recent invoices or payment failure notices from Search Atlas. Note the invoice number or date if one is visible — this helps our team locate the issue faster. 3. Contact our support team (see below). Our team has the tools to manually resolve billing conflicts, clear stale invoices, and process your cancellation correctly. 📋 Information to Have Ready When you contact support, having the following details available will help us resolve your request as quickly as possible: - The exact error message you see when attempting to cancel - The email address associated with your Search Atlas account - Any invoice numbers or payment failure emails you have received - Whether you signed up directly through Search Atlas or via a third-party platform (e.g., Shopify) 💡 Common Scenarios and Resolutions Scenario 1 — "No cancellable products" error: This usually means a billing conflict is blocking the cancellation. Our support team can identify and resolve the conflict manually and process your cancellation on your behalf. Scenario 2 — Received a cancellation or payment failure email unexpectedly: This is a known billing edge case. Your main subscription may still be active and healthy. Contact our support team so we can verify your account status and correct any erroneous records.

💳 Stop Charge Attempts on Cancelled Subscription

🔍 Why Charges Can Occur After Cancellation When a subscription is cancelled, any open invoices tied to that subscription may still trigger automatic collection attempts through our payment processor, Stripe. This can result in charge attempts appearing on your bank or card statement even after your account has been cancelled. This is a known issue our engineering team has addressed, but if you are experiencing this, the steps below will help you resolve it immediately. ⚠️ Common Scenarios That Trigger This Issue - Your subscription was cancelled but an outstanding invoice remained in an open or past due state. - A top-up or add-on was not fully cancelled alongside the main subscription, leaving an active billing trigger. - An automatic retry schedule in Stripe continued to attempt collection on an invoice that should have been voided. - A manual Pay action was triggered on an invoice belonging to a cancelled account. ✅ What You Should Do Right Now 1. Document the charge attempts. Note the invoice number (e.g., #123710), the dates of each attempt, and the amounts. You can find this information in your email receipts or your bank statement. 2. Log in to Search Atlas and review your invoice history and current subscription status in your account's billing section. 3. Check your subscription status. Confirm that your subscription shows as Cancelled and that no active plans or add-ons remain enabled. 4. Contact our support team immediately using the chat widget (see below). Provide your invoice number(s) and the number of charge attempts so our team can disable automatic collection and void or reconcile the invoice on your behalf. 🛠️ What Our Team Will Do to Help Once you reach a human teammate via the chat widget, our billing specialists can take the following actions on your account: - Verify your cancellation date and confirm it is recorded correctly in our system. - Disable automatic collection on any open invoices linked to your cancelled subscription. - Void invoices that should not have been generated after cancellation. - Coordinate with Stripe to stop any pending or scheduled retry attempts. - Provide written confirmation that automatic collection has been disabled. - Initiate a refund if any charge was successfully processed in error after your verified cancellation date. 💡 How to Prevent This in the Future - Cancel all add-ons and top-ups first before cancelling your main subscription. Each add-on may have its own billing cycle and must be cancelled separately. - Request written confirmation of your cancellation from our support team at the time you cancel. This creates a clear record. If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team.

💳 Fix Subscription Cancellation and Failed Payment Loops

🔍 Overview Some customers encounter a situation where they try to cancel their subscription but receive a message stating there are no cancellable products, while the platform continues to attempt charging a payment method that has already failed. This article explains why this can happen and what to have ready when contacting our team for resolution. ⚠️ Why This Happens This issue can occur when there is a conflict between your subscription status and a failed payment. When a payment is declined, the subscription may enter an intermediate state in which the cancellation flow does not detect an eligible product to cancel, returning a "no cancellable products" error, while payment attempts continue. Because this involves the underlying billing and subscription system, it typically requires direct action by our support team to resolve. 🚫 What Not To Do - Do not attempt to cancel multiple times in quick succession. Repeated cancellation attempts in this state can cause your subscription record to fall further out of sync. - Do not remove your payment method while a retry is pending. This may interfere with any pending payment processing and could prolong the issue. - Do not create a new account to work around the issue — your data, credits, and OTTO quotas are tied to your existing account. 📋 What to Have Ready When You Escalate Because this issue requires our team to act on your account directly, please have the following information available when you reach out: - The exact error message you see when attempting to cancel (e.g., "no cancellable products" or any other on-screen text) - Your account email address and any associated workspace or project name - The date and time you first encountered the issue - Whether you have received any failed payment notification emails, and approximately when - The current subscription or plan name shown in your account Having these details ready will allow our team to locate your billing record and resolve the loop as quickly as possible.

🚫 Cancel Your Search Atlas Subscription Explained

🔍 Overview Cancelling your Search Atlas subscription does not cut off your access immediately. You keep full access to the platform until the end of your current billing period. This article explains what that means and clarifies the difference between a billing date and a renewal date. 📅 Billing Date vs. Renewal Date: What's the Difference? These two terms are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different moments in your subscription cycle. Understanding the distinction will help you plan your cancellation with confidence. - Billing date: The date your payment was successfully processed. This is when your current subscription period officially began and when your account was charged. - Renewal date: The date your subscription is scheduled to automatically renew for the next period. This is also the date your next charge would occur if you do not cancel. In most cases, your renewal date falls on the same calendar date each month or year as your original billing date. When customers ask whether they can use Search Atlas "up to the renewal date" after cancelling, the answer is yes. Your renewal date and the end of your current billing period are the same point in time. Cancelling stops the next renewal from happening, but you retain full access until that date arrives. 💡 A Clear Example Here is a simple example to illustrate the timeline: - You subscribed on March 5. That is your billing date — your card was charged and your billing period began. - Your subscription is set to renew on April 5. That is your renewal date — the next scheduled charge. - You decide to cancel on March 20. - Your cancellation takes effect immediately, meaning no future charges will occur. - You retain full access to Search Atlas through your renewal date. On that date, your account will downgrade or deactivate since no renewal payment is made. In short: cancelling prevents future billing, but does not forfeit the access you have already paid for. 🚫 How to Cancel Your Subscription To cancel your subscription, log in to your Search Atlas account and navigate to your account's billing or subscription settings. Look for the option to cancel your current plan and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. Once the cancellation is processed, you should receive a confirmation. If you are unable to locate the cancellation option or need help completing the process, please reach out to our support team for step-by-step guidance. ✅ What You Can Still Do After Cancelling Until your renewal date arrives, you retain full access to all features included in your current plan. You can continue running projects, exporting data, and using any tools available under your subscription tier.

⏱️ How to Cancel Your Trial Subscription Before It Ends

💡 Overview Search Atlas offers a 7-day trial period so you can explore the platform before committing to a paid plan. If you decide the platform isn't the right fit, you can cancel your trial subscription at any time before the trial period ends to avoid being charged. This article walks you through the exact steps to do so. 🗓️ Understanding the Trial Period Your trial period begins the moment you sign up and lasts for 7 calendar days. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan and your payment method on file will be charged. To avoid this, make sure to complete the cancellation steps below with time to spare. ✅ Steps to Cancel Your Trial Subscription 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Click your avatar in the top-right corner and select Billing to open the Billing page. 3. Locate your current subscription or plan details within the Billing section. 4. Select the option to manage or cancel your subscription. 5. Follow the prompts to cancel your trial subscription. 6. Confirm the cancellation when prompted. Once canceled, you will receive a confirmation that your subscription has been stopped and your card will not be charged, provided the cancellation was completed before the 7-day trial period ended. 🔍 Verifying Your Cancellation After canceling, you can confirm the status of your subscription by returning to the Billing section of your account. Check that your subscription is shown as canceled or inactive to ensure the process completed successfully. ⚠️ Important Notes - Cancellations must be completed before the 7-day trial period expires to avoid being charged. - Once a trial converts to a paid subscription, standard cancellation and refund policies apply instead of the trial cancellation process. - If you accidentally cancel and want to reactivate your trial or subscription, you can do so from within the Billing section of your account, or reach out to our support team for assistance. - Cancellation requests are synced with our billing provider, so changes may take a few minutes to reflect across the platform. 🙋 Need More Help?

💳 Cancel One of Two Search Atlas Plans

🗺️ Overview If you manage more than one Search Atlas subscription — for example, separate accounts for different brands or projects — you can cancel one plan without affecting the other. This article walks you through how to do that and what to try if the billing page does not load. ⚠️ Before You Cancel Take a moment to confirm the following before proceeding: - You are logged into the correct account. Each Search Atlas subscription is tied to a specific login. Make sure you are signed in to the account you want to cancel — not the one you want to keep. - Your billing cycle end date. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. You will not lose access immediately. - Any data you need to export. Projects, reports, and keyword lists associated with the cancelled account will no longer be accessible after the period ends. 🪜 How to Cancel a Specific Plan 1. Log in to the account you want to cancel. If you use the same email for both subscriptions, check which workspace or account name is shown in the top navigation. Switch accounts if needed before continuing. 2. Go to the Billing page. Click your avatar in the top-right, select Billing, then open Plans & Top-ups. 3. Locate your active subscription. You will see your current plan name, renewal date, and payment details listed here. 4. Click Manage Subscription. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm the cancellation. You may be asked to select a reason — this step is optional. 5. Check for a confirmation email. A cancellation confirmation is sent to the email address linked to that account. If you do not see it within a few minutes, check your spam folder. Your other Search Atlas account — the one you want to keep — is completely unaffected by this process. Each subscription is managed independently. 🔄 If the Billing Page Does Not Load Some customers have reported that the Billing page fails to load or appears blank. Try the following steps to resolve this: - Hard-refresh the page. Press Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to clear the cached version of the page. - Clear your browser cache and cookies, then reload the platform. - Try a different browser. Chrome, Firefox, and Edge are all supported. If one browser is not working, switch to another. - Disable browser extensions. Ad blockers and privacy extensions can sometimes interfere with billing page rendering. Try disabling them temporarily. - Check your internet connection. A slow or interrupted connection can prevent the billing page from fully loading. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, do not attempt to cancel multiple times or re-enter payment details. Contact the support team directly using the method below. 📋 What Happens After Cancellation - Your cancelled plan remains active until the end of the current billing period. - No further charges are made to your payment method for the cancelled plan. - Your remaining active plan continues without interruption. - If your cancellation shows a pending cancellation status rather than confirming immediately, this is normal — it means the cancellation is scheduled for your next renewal date. 💬 Need More Help?

🚫 Cancel Your Account and Stop All Charges

🔍 Overview This article explains how to cancel your Search Atlas account, stop automatic renewal and top-up charges, and verify that your cancellation has been processed correctly. If you believe you have been charged after requesting cancellation, follow the steps below to resolve the issue quickly. ⚙️ How to Cancel Your Subscription Follow these steps to cancel all active plans and add-ons from within the platform: 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Click your avatar in the top-right corner of the screen. 3. Go to the Billing section. 4. Open Services and locate your active plan. 5. Click the ⋮ (three-dot) menu on the plan and select Cancel. 6. Review the confirmation/retention step, then confirm the cancellation when prompted. 7. Repeat for each active add-on or top-up package (including OTTO AI top-ups) listed in Services — deleting an OTTO site project does not cancel its top-up; you must cancel the top-up here separately. If you change your mind, you can reverse a pending cancellation from the same place by selecting Activate. Once cancellation is confirmed, your plan will not renew at the next billing cycle. You will typically retain access to your current plan features until the end of the paid period. 💡 What Gets Cancelled When you cancel through the billing settings, the following are stopped: - Annual or monthly subscription plan — no further renewal charges. - Add-ons — any additional features billed separately. - Top-up packages — including OTTO AI credits and other usage-based top-ups. Note: OTTO top-ups are customer-level billing subscriptions — removing an OTTO site project or placing it in Deep Freeze does not cancel the top-up. When you cancel your main plan, its top-ups are cancelled automatically at the end of the billing period. Make sure to cancel each item individually if you have more than one active charge on your account. 🛠️ If You Were Charged After Cancellation Due to resolved platform issues, a small number of customers experienced charges after submitting a cancellation request. If this has happened to you: 1. Log in and confirm your subscription status in Billing → Services. If the plan still shows as active, cancel it now using the steps above. 2. Review your billing history to identify any charges that occurred after your cancellation request. 3. Contact our support team immediately using the live chat widget (see below) and provide the date of your original cancellation request and the charge details. Our team will investigate and process a refund if a charge occurred in error. 📊 How to Confirm Your Cancellation After cancelling, verify the following to be sure all charges have been stopped: - Your plan status in Billing → Services shows Cancelled or Pending Cancellation. - No active add-ons or top-up packages appear as renewing. - You receive a cancellation confirmation email from Search Atlas to your registered email address. If you do not receive a confirmation email within a few hours or your billing page still shows an active status, contact support immediately so we can confirm the cancellation on our end. ⚠️ Important Notes - Cancellation requests made outside the platform (for example, by replying to an email) may not be processed automatically. Always cancel directly through Billing → Services to ensure the request is recorded in our system. - If your account has an annual plan, you will not be charged again after cancellation, but refunds for unused periods are subject to our refund policy. Contact support to discuss your specific situation. - Top-up charges are triggered by usage thresholds. Cancelling your subscription does not automatically stop a top-up that was already triggered before cancellation. If you see an unexpected top-up charge, report it to support as described above. 💬 Need Further Help? If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team. When you contact us, please have the following ready to help us resolve your case as quickly as possible: - The date you originally requested cancellation. - Details of any charges you believe were made in error (amount, date). - Your account email address.

📧 Billing and Emails After Account Cancellation

🔍 Overview If you have recently canceled your Search Atlas account, you may be wondering whether you are still being billed or why you continue to receive emails. This article explains exactly what happens to your billing and email notifications after cancellation. 💳 Will I Be Charged After Canceling? No. Once your account is canceled, Search Atlas does not charge you anything further. Your subscription ends at the close of your current billing period, and no future payments are collected after that date. - All recurring subscription charges stop after your current billing period ends, since access continues until then. - You will not be charged for the next billing cycle. - Any charges that appear after your cancellation date are likely a final invoice for usage already incurred before cancellation — not a new subscription charge. If you see an unexpected charge on your payment method after your cancellation date, please review your final invoice carefully before reaching out to us. Charges dated on or before your cancellation date are part of your final billing cycle, not new subscription fees. 📬 Why Am I Still Receiving Emails? Even after cancellation, you may continue to receive certain emails from Search Atlas. This is normal and does not mean your account is still active or that you are being billed. Post-cancellation emails typically fall into two categories: - Transactional emails: System-generated notifications such as final invoices, payment receipts, or account closure confirmations. These are sent automatically as part of closing out your account and stop once all account activity is fully processed. - Project or report emails: If you had scheduled reports, keyword tracking digests, or automated project updates configured in your account, some of these notifications may continue briefly until the underlying tasks expire or are fully terminated on our end. These emails are not a sign that your account has been reactivated or that billing has resumed. They are the tail end of activity that was already in progress when you canceled. 🛠️ How to Stop Receiving Post-Cancellation Emails If you no longer wish to receive these emails, you have a few options: 1. Wait for them to stop automatically. Transactional and project emails typically cease within a short period after your account is fully closed. No action is required on your part. 2. Mark the emails as spam or unwanted. In your email client (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.), you can mark Search Atlas emails as spam or move them to your junk folder. Your email provider will then filter future messages automatically. 3. Create an inbox filter or rule. Most email clients allow you to set up a rule that automatically archives, deletes, or moves emails from a specific sender. Filter by the Search Atlas sending domain to prevent future messages from reaching your inbox.

🚫 Cancel a Duplicate Account and Stop Charges

🔍 What Is a Duplicate Account? A duplicate account is created when a new Search Atlas account is registered using a different email address, often by accident during a sign-up or billing retry. Even if the account appears inactive, it may still generate charges through an active Stripe subscription tied to that email. ⚠️ Why Charges May Continue After Cancellation In some cases, customers report being charged again after requesting a cancellation. This can happen because: - The cancellation request was not fully processed in our billing system. - The duplicate account has its own independent subscription in Stripe that was not linked to the original account. - A payment was retried on a previously issued invoice before the account was fully disabled. Our team is actively working to prevent these scenarios, but if you have been charged after a cancellation request, it is important to contact us immediately so we can investigate and issue a refund where applicable. 🛠️ How to Identify If You Have a Duplicate Account 1. Check your email inbox for any Search Atlas welcome emails or billing receipts sent to a different email address than the one you normally use. 2. Review your bank or card statements for more than one charge from Search Atlas or Stripe within the same billing period. 3. Log in to your primary Search Atlas account, click your avatar in the top-right corner, and go to Team Members (or visit /settings) to confirm only your intended accounts and users are listed. 📋 Steps to Request Cancellation of a Duplicate Account 1. Gather the details — note the email address associated with the duplicate account and the approximate date it was created or first charged. 2. Open the live chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform from your primary account. 3. Type human teammate to be connected with a member of our support team. 4. Provide the duplicate account's email address, the charge amounts, and the dates you were billed. 5. Request written confirmation that the duplicate account has been cancelled and that no further charges will be made. ✅ What to Expect After Submitting Your Request - Our team will locate the duplicate subscription in Stripe and cancel it immediately. - If a charge occurred after a previous cancellation request, our team will review it for a refund. - You will receive confirmation once the account is fully deactivated and billing has stopped. - No further invoices or payment attempts will be made against the cancelled account. 🛡️ How to Prevent Duplicate Accounts in the Future - Always use the same email address when logging in or restarting a subscription. - If you need to add team members, use the Team Members section under your account settings rather than creating a new account. - If you encounter an error during checkout or sign-up, do not retry with a different email — contact support first to resolve the issue. 💬 Need Immediate Help? If you have been charged on a duplicate account or need to confirm a cancellation, do not wait.

⚠️ Subscription Still Active After Cancellation Attempt

🔍 Why This Happens In some cases, if your account has a past-due or unpaid invoice at the time you cancel, the cancellation may not fully process. The billing system can continue to schedule payment retries even though you have already requested cancellation. This is a known edge case that requires our team to manually void the outstanding invoice and confirm the subscription is closed on the backend. ⚙️ Steps to Take 1. Verify your cancellation request was submitted. Log in to your Search Atlas account and navigate to your billing settings. Review your current subscription status to confirm whether the cancellation was registered. 2. Check for outstanding invoices. While in your billing settings, look for any unpaid or past-due invoice still attached to your account. A pending invoice is the most common reason a cancellation does not fully take effect. If you see one, note the invoice amount and date — you will need this information when you contact support. 3. Update your payment method and attempt to clear the outstanding balance. If your billing settings allow you to update a payment method, try adding a valid payment method and paying the outstanding invoice directly. In some cases, once the past-due balance is cleared, the cancellation can complete automatically. Check your subscription status again after making the payment to see if the cancellation is now reflected. 4. If the cancellation is still blocked after clearing the balance, contact our support team immediately. Because resolving a persistently blocked cancellation requires backend action — specifically voiding the outstanding invoice and confirming the subscription is closed — this final step must be completed by our team. To get the fastest resolution, reach out via the chat option available in the platform. When you reach us, share: your account email address, the date or dates you attempted to cancel, the invoice amount and date you identified in the previous step, and a screenshot of any retry or payment pending message you are seeing. This information allows our specialist to locate your account and take action immediately without back-and-forth delays. Our team will escalate your case, void the outstanding invoice, and fully cancel the subscription on the backend. Once completed, you will receive confirmation that your subscription is canceled and no further payment retries will be scheduled — you will not be charged after the issue is resolved. 💡 What Happens When You Reach Our Team When you reach our team, a specialist will escalate your case to void the outstanding invoice and fully cancel the subscription on the backend. Once completed, you will receive confirmation that your subscription is canceled and no further payment retries will be scheduled. You will not be charged after the issue is resolved. 🚀 How to Get Help Fast If you need further assistance, reach out to our support team via the chat option available in the platform. Our team is ready to help you resolve this quickly. When you reach us, please share the following so we can resolve your case as quickly as possible: - Your account email address - The date or dates you attempted to cancel - A screenshot of any retry or payment pending message you are seeing - The invoice amount and date of the outstanding invoice

🚫 Subscription Stuck in Past Due After Cancellation

🔍 Overview If you have already requested to cancel your Search Atlas subscription but the account status still shows Past Due and payment attempts are still being made, the cancellation may not have fully processed. This article explains why this happens and exactly what steps to take to get it resolved. ⚠️ Why This Happens In some cases, a cancellation request does not automatically clear a Past Due billing status. The subscription remains in a stuck state where the platform continues to flag an outstanding invoice and may retry payment — even after a cancellation has been initiated. This is a known billing sync issue that requires a support team member to manually cancel the subscription and void the outstanding invoice on the back end. ✅ What You Should Do First Before contacting support, try the following self-service steps to confirm the state of your cancellation and rule out any steps you may be able to complete on your own: 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account and check your subscription status in your account billing settings. If it still shows Active or Past Due, your cancellation did not complete fully. 2. Review your email inbox (including spam) for a cancellation confirmation email from Search Atlas. If you received one, note the date — this confirms the request was logged but may not have fully processed on the billing side. 3. If no cancellation confirmation email was received, your original cancellation request may not have been submitted successfully. In that case, attempt to cancel again through your account billing settings and save any confirmation you receive. 4. If the subscription status still shows Past Due after attempting the above steps, or if you did receive a cancellation confirmation but the status has not updated, the fix requires manual action by the billing team — proceed to contact support as described below. 📩 How to Contact Support If the self-service steps above did not resolve the issue, contact our support team directly. You can reach us via the chat option available inside the Search Atlas platform. If you need further assistance, you can also reach us at support@searchatlas.com. Follow the steps below: 1. Open a conversation with our support team using the chat option available in the platform. 2. Tell the agent that your subscription is stuck in a Past Due state after cancellation and that you want payment attempts stopped immediately. 3. The agent will escalate your case to the billing team, who will manually cancel the subscription and mark any outstanding invoice as void so no further charges are attempted. 📋 Information to Have Ready To help the billing team resolve your case as quickly as possible, please have the following ready when you contact support: - The email address associated with your Search Atlas account - The approximate date you submitted your original cancellation request - Any cancellation confirmation email you received, if applicable - A brief description of the current status shown on your account

🛑 Stop Payment Emails After Cancelling Your Account

🔍 Overview If you have cancelled your Search Atlas subscription but are still receiving payment reminder or billing emails, your account may not have been fully deactivated. This article explains what causes this and how our team resolves it. ⚠️ Why This Happens Cancelling a subscription does not always trigger immediate account deactivation. If your account remains in an active or pending state in our system, automated billing reminder emails can continue to be sent even after you intended to stop using the service. Full deactivation is required to stop all future charge attempts and related email notifications. 🛠️ What You Should Do Unfortunately, full account deactivation cannot be completed by customers directly through the platform settings — it requires action from our internal team. Here is the recommended process: 1. Confirm your cancellation request has been submitted. If you previously requested a cancellation, note the date and any confirmation you received. 2. Contact our support team so your request can be escalated to the specialized billing team. 3. Request explicit account deactivation. Ask the agent to confirm that your account has been fully deactivated in our system, not just that your subscription has been cancelled. Once deactivated, no further charge attempts or payment reminder emails will be sent. 4. Ask for written confirmation. Request that the agent confirm deactivation in the chat so you have a record of the resolution. ✅ What Resolution Looks Like Once our team deactivates your account, you will stop receiving payment reminder emails from Search Atlas. Our internal team must confirm deactivation — this is not something that happens automatically when a subscription is cancelled in all cases. 📋 Key Points to Remember - Receiving billing emails after cancellation usually means full account deactivation has not yet been processed. - Deactivation must be confirmed by our specialized billing team. - Once deactivated, no future charge attempts or reminder emails will occur. - Always request explicit written confirmation of deactivation in your support chat session. 💬 Still Receiving Emails? If you need further assistance, please reach out to our support team so we can ensure your account is fully deactivated.

📋 Cancel Your Search Atlas Subscription Safely

🔍 Overview If you've decided to move to another tool, you can request to cancel your Search Atlas subscription at any time. Before you cancel, it's important to understand how outstanding balances and past-due statuses affect the process — this article explains what to expect and how to get help. ⚠️ What Is a Past-Due Account Status? A past-due status means a recent payment attempt on your account failed — for example, due to an expired card or insufficient funds. Search Atlas uses an automatic retry process (called dunning) to attempt to collect the outstanding payment over several days. During this retry window, your account access is typically maintained. However, if all payment retries are exhausted and the balance remains unpaid, your subscription may be cancelled automatically by our billing system and platform access may be blocked. 💡 Before You Cancel: Resolve Any Outstanding Balance If your account shows a past-due status, we strongly recommend settling any outstanding balance before submitting a cancellation request. This prevents complications such as: - Automatic account suspension before your intended end date. - Difficulty reactivating your account in the future. - Unexpected charges if retries succeed after cancellation is initiated. To resolve a past-due balance or update your payment method, please contact our support team — a teammate can assist you directly and coordinate any backend steps needed to clear the balance on your account. 📋 How to Request a Cancellation Because cancellations — especially those involving a past-due status — may require backend action on your account, please reach out to our support team to initiate your cancellation request rather than attempting to cancel unilaterally through billing settings. When you contact us, please have the following ready so we can process your request as quickly as possible: - The email address associated with your Search Atlas account. - Your account or project name. - Whether your account currently shows a past-due or payment-failed status. - The date you would like the cancellation to take effect, if applicable. 📊 What to Expect After a Cancellation Request - Access: A support teammate will confirm when your access period ends after the cancellation is processed. - Data: We recommend exporting any reports or data you need before your subscription expires. - Reactivation: If you change your mind, contact our support team and a teammate can help reactivate your account. - Refunds: Refund eligibility depends on your account status and billing cycle — our team can clarify this during your cancellation request. If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team.

📅 Subscription Cancellation Cutoff Dates Explained

📋 Overview Search Atlas subscriptions renew automatically on a monthly basis. If you want to cancel before your next payment is processed, it's important to understand the cancellation cutoff window so you can act in time and avoid an unwanted charge. 🗓️ When Is My Billing Date? Your billing date is set when you first subscribe and remains consistent each month. The exact date can shift slightly depending on weekends, public holidays, and payment processor timing, which is why you may notice a small variation of a day or two from month to month. To confirm your exact next billing date, log in to your Search Atlas account and check your subscription or billing information in your account settings. ⏰ What Is the Cancellation Cutoff? To avoid being charged for the next billing cycle, cancel your subscription before your renewal date is reached. Because payment processing can occur at any point on or around your renewal date, we recommend cancelling with enough lead time — ideally at least a day or two before your expected renewal — to ensure the cancellation is fully processed before the charge is triggered. This buffer accounts for: - Minor variations in payment processing timing - Weekends or bank holidays that can shift the charge date - The time needed for the cancellation to sync fully with our billing system ✅ What Happens After I Cancel? When you cancel your subscription, you will retain full access to your paid plan features until the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged again after cancellation takes effect. 🛠️ How to Cancel Your Subscription To cancel, log in to your Search Atlas account and navigate to your account settings to find the subscription management options. Follow the on-screen steps to submit your cancellation and confirm it when prompted. After cancelling, verify that your subscription status reflects the change before your next billing date. If the status still shows as active and renewing, contact our support team immediately. ⚠️ Important Things to Keep in Mind - Cancellations are not retroactive. If your account has already been charged for the current cycle, the cancellation will apply to the following renewal. - Check your billing date in advance. Don't wait until the last moment — confirm your renewal date ahead of time so you have enough buffer to cancel if needed. - Save your confirmation. After cancelling, note any confirmation details in case you need to reference them later.

✅ Confirming Your Subscription Cancellation Status

What This Article Covers If you have cancelled your Search Atlas subscription, this guide explains how to confirm your cancellation status and what to prepare if you need to escalate a billing concern. Step 1: Check Your Subscription Status To confirm your cancellation, log in to your Search Atlas account and navigate to your account or billing settings. Look for a section that displays your current plan and its status. A confirmed cancellation will generally be reflected by a status indicating your plan will not renew. If your account still shows an active plan or an upcoming renewal, your cancellation may not have been fully processed. Step 2: Check for Any Upcoming Charges While reviewing your billing settings, check whether any future charges or renewal dates are listed for your account: - If no upcoming charge is shown and your plan status reflects a cancellation, no future billing is expected. - If a future charge or renewal is still displayed after you cancelled, note the exact amount and date — this may require investigation. Step 3: What to Prepare Before Escalating If your cancellation status is unclear or you believe a future charge is incorrect, have the following ready before contacting support so the issue can be resolved as quickly as possible: - Your account email address — the one associated with your Search Atlas subscription. - The date you requested cancellation — including any confirmation email or reference number you received. - A screenshot of your current subscription status as shown in your billing settings. - Any upcoming charge details — the amount and date displayed in your account, if applicable.

⚡ Pending Cancellation Status Explained

🔍 What Does Pending Cancellation Mean? If your Search Atlas account shows Pending Cancellation, your subscription is scheduled to close at the end of your current billing cycle. You still have full access to all tools and features until that date arrives. This status does not mean your account has been deleted. It simply means a cancellation request has been registered and is waiting to take effect. ⚠️ Why Did This Happen to My Account? The Pending Cancellation status can appear for a few reasons, including a sync error between your payment provider and Search Atlas — sometimes called an account linking glitch — that triggers a pending cancellation by mistake. If you did not authorize this change, do not worry. Our support team can investigate and reverse it for you. 🛠️ How to Resolve an Account Linking Glitch If you believe a linking glitch caused the status change and you did not request the cancellation yourself, the best next step is to contact our support team so they can investigate. When you reach out, please have the following information ready so we can resolve your case as quickly as possible: - The email address associated with your Search Atlas account - The approximate date when you first noticed the Pending Cancellation status - Confirmation that you did not manually request a cancellation Our team will investigate the account linking issue and restore your subscription status if the cancellation was triggered in error. 💳 How to Request a Refund If you were charged during a period when your account was incorrectly set to Pending Cancellation due to a glitch, you may be eligible for a refund. Refunds are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. To start a refund request, please have the following ready when you reach out: - The email address on your account - The date and amount of the charge in question - A brief description of what happened (e.g., cancellation was not authorized by you) Our team will review your case and follow up with next steps.

⚙️ How to Cancel Subscriptions and Verify Removal

🗺️ Overview This article explains how to cancel your Search Atlas subscription and any active add-ons, and how to confirm the cancellations are applied correctly. In some cases, completing a cancellation or verifying that all items have been removed may require assistance from our support team. Following the guidance below will help you prepare and, if needed, escalate efficiently. ⚠️ Important: Know Before You Cancel Before you begin, keep these points in mind: - Cancellations typically take effect at the end of your current billing period. You will generally retain access to your plan features until that date. - Add-ons may need to be cancelled separately from your base plan. Each add-on may need to be addressed individually — cancelling your base plan does not automatically remove all add-ons in all cases. - Review all active items first. Go through every item listed in your Billing section to make sure nothing is missed before escalating. 📋 Step 1: Review Your Active Subscriptions and Add-Ons Before reaching out to support, take note of the following so you can provide accurate details when escalating: - The name of your current base plan. - The names of any active add-ons you want to cancel. - The date your current billing period ends. - Any charges or renewal dates you believe are incorrect. 📞 Step 2: Escalate to Support if Needed If you attempt to cancel your plan or add-ons and the cancellation does not appear to take effect, or if you are unsure whether all items have been fully removed, a support agent can perform the necessary backend action on your account. When you contact us, please have the following ready: - Your account email address. - The exact name of the subscription or add-on you want cancelled or verified. - The date you attempted the cancellation (if applicable). - A description of what you expected to happen versus what you observed (e.g., whether the item still shows as active, whether you received an unexpected charge). ✅ Step 3: Confirm Cancellation After the Billing Period Ends Once your billing period ends, check that no unexpected renewal charges have appeared on your account. If you notice a charge you did not expect after cancellation, contact support immediately and include: - The invoice date and amount. - The subscription or add-on name associated with the charge. - Any confirmation you received at the time of cancellation. If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team. If you were charged after cancellation Cancellation stops future renewal; it does not automatically reverse an invoice or refund a payment that was already processed. Review the invoice date against the cancellation effective date shown in your confirmation. If the charge occurred after the effective cancellation date, contact support in live chat with the invoice number, charge date, cancellation date, account email, and confirmation message so billing can review the account.

💳 Cancel Top-Ups and Request Refunds

💡 What this process covers You can stop future recurring top-ups without cancelling your main Search Atlas plan. Refund requests for previous charges, including a new charge added to an existing case, must be reviewed by our team. 🛑 Request recurring top-ups to be stopped 1. Open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform. 2. Type human teammate to connect with a team member. 3. Clearly request that recurring top-ups be turned off while your main plan remains active. 4. Include the account details requested by the team so they can locate your billing records. Ask the team to confirm when recurring top-ups have been disabled. Do not assume that cancelling a top-up also cancels your main plan. 💰 Request a refund In the same conversation, request a refund for the relevant charge or charges. If you already have an open case, ask the team to add any new charge to that existing case rather than opening a separate request. Include the charge amount, transaction date, and any existing case reference you have. For example, you can state that you want a new $69 charge added to your existing refund case. 🔎 Check your refund status Ask the team to confirm whether your refund request was received, whether it is under review, and whether it has been approved or processed. Refund timing can vary after processing because your payment provider may need additional time to post the funds. Keep the confirmation from the chat for your records, including the refund status and confirmation that future recurring top-ups are disabled. ✅ What to include in your request - Your Search Atlas account or workspace details - The amount and date of each charge - The existing case or conversation reference, if available - A clear request to keep the main plan active - A clear request to disable future recurring top-ups - A request for the current refund status and written confirmation 🛠️ Need help?

Find the Subscription Cancellation Option

Where to find the cancellation option 1. Sign in to the platform and click your Avatar Menu (👤) (your name or avatar) in the top-right corner. 2. Navigate to Billing or Manage Subscription from the Avatar Menu (👤). 3. Inside the billing area, locate the section that lists your current subscriptions or active services. 4. Find the subscription or service you want to cancel and click the options or actions menu next to it. 5. Select the cancel option and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your request. 6. Look for a confirmation message or email confirming that the cancellation was processed. Do not assume the cancellation is complete until you see this confirmation. If you have prepaid time remaining on your plan, this will typically be noted during the cancellation flow. Review the details shown carefully before confirming. Important reminders Do not assume that sending a message or notifying the support team cancels your subscription — the cancellation must be completed through the billing area of the platform using the steps above. If the cancellation option does not appear next to a specific service, verify that you are signed in to the correct account and that you are viewing the right subscription in the billing area.

💳 Understanding Charges After Plan Cancellation

🔍 Why You May See a Charge After Cancelling If you cancelled your Search Atlas subscription but still received a charge, this can feel frustrating and confusing. There are a few common reasons this happens, and in most cases the issue can be identified and resolved quickly. - End-of-cycle billing: Search Atlas subscriptions are billed at the start of each billing cycle. If your cancellation was processed after a new cycle had already begun, a charge for that period may have been applied before the cancellation took effect. - Duplicate subscription: In rare cases, a system error can create a duplicate subscription — meaning your account was charged on two separate billing records. This is a known issue that our team can identify and correct. - Add-on or top-up charges: Add-ons such as OTTO top-ups are customer-level billing subscriptions that keep billing until cancelled separately (Avatar Menu (👤) → Billing → Services → ⋮ menu on the top-up → Cancel), or until your main plan's cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period, which cancels its top-ups automatically. Deleting an OTTO site project or using Deep Freeze does not cancel the top-up. - Multiple payment methods: If your account was connected to more than one payment source (for example, both a Shopify integration and a credit card), charges may appear on both. Our team can investigate and consolidate these records. ✅ What to Check Before Contacting Support Before reaching out, gather the following details to help our team resolve your dispute as fast as possible: 1. Your cancellation confirmation: Check your email inbox for a cancellation confirmation from Search Atlas. Note the date and time it was sent. 2. The charge date and amount: Locate the transaction in your bank statement or payment platform and note the exact date, amount, and payment method used. 3. Your billing cycle dates: If you can access your account, check your billing history by clicking your Avatar (top-right corner) → Billing (Billing page) to see when your last cycle started and ended. 4. Any additional charges: Note whether more than one unexpected charge appeared, or whether the same amount repeated across multiple months. 💡 How Refunds Are Handled Search Atlas reviews billing disputes on a case-by-case basis. If a charge occurred in error — for example, due to a duplicate subscription, a system-side cancellation failure, or a charge that processed after a confirmed cancellation — our billing team will issue a refund to your original payment method. Refunds typically take 5–10 business days to appear on your statement, depending on your bank or payment provider. If you were charged multiple times in error over several months, our team will investigate the full billing history and resolve all affected transactions. 🛠️ How to Submit a Billing Dispute To get your dispute resolved quickly, follow these steps: 1. Open the Search Atlas platform and log in to your account. 2. Click the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the screen. 3. Type human teammate to be connected with a member of our support team. 4. Share the details you gathered: cancellation confirmation date, charge date, charge amount, and payment method. 5. Our team will investigate your billing record, confirm whether the charge was an error, and process a refund if applicable. 🚫 How to Avoid This in the Future To reduce the chance of unexpected charges after cancelling: - Save a record of your cancellation date as proof of when your cancellation was submitted. - Check your billing settings after cancelling to confirm no active subscriptions or add-ons remain on your account. - Contact support immediately if you are unsure whether your cancellation went through — our team can verify your account status in real time.

Cancel PRO Subscription After Missing Trial Deadline

🔍 Overview If your free trial ended before you had a chance to cancel, your Search Atlas account may have moved into a paid PRO subscription billing cycle. This article explains what typically happens in that situation and how to get your account fully deactivated with no further charges. ⚙️ What Happens When a Trial Expires Without Cancellation When a trial period ends and no cancellation is submitted, the system attempts to collect payment for the next billing cycle. Depending on whether that payment succeeds or fails, your account status may vary: - Payment failed or past due: Your account may already be flagged as deactivated automatically. - Payment succeeded: Your account moves to an active paid subscription and a charge is applied. In either case, you will need to confirm your account is fully deactivated and that no further charge attempts will be made. 🛠️ Steps to Resolve This 1. Check your current account status. Log in to your Search Atlas account and review any billing notification emails you have received. These emails will indicate whether your account is active, past due, or already deactivated, and will help you understand what action is needed. 2. Cancel your subscription directly in your account settings. Click your Avatar Menu (👤) → Billing → Services, then open the ⋮ (three-dot) menu on your plan and select Cancel. A confirmation/retention step will appear before the final confirmation. After cancelling, your access continues until the end of the current billing period. If you change your mind, you can reverse a pending cancellation from the same place by selecting Activate. Save or screenshot any confirmation message shown after you complete this step. 3. If you need additional help, contact support (optional). Self-service cancellation through your account settings is all that's required, but if you run into any issues you can reach out to our support team via this Help Center. Provide your account email address and let the agent know your trial expired before you could cancel. To reach us, use the chat widget in this Help Center or email us directly — you can also reply to any billing notification email you received. 4. Request account deactivation and charge reversal. Whether self-serving or working with an agent, confirm that your account is fully deactivated and that no further charges will be attempted. If a charge was already collected after your trial ended, ask for it to be voided or refunded, where applicable. 5. Get written confirmation. Once the deactivation process is complete, make sure you receive confirmation — either via the on-screen message in your account or in your support chat — that your account has been deactivated and any outstanding charge concerns have been addressed. 📋 What the Support Team Will Do Once you reach a team member, they will: - Confirm whether your account has already been marked as deactivated due to a failed payment. - Take the necessary steps to ensure no future charge attempts are made. - Void or cancel any pending charge that resulted from the missed trial cancellation, where applicable. - Confirm once your account is fully deactivated and the issue is resolved. ⚠️ Important Notes - Act quickly. The sooner you address this after your trial ends, the easier it is to handle any pending charges before they fully settle. - Reach out even if you are unsure. If you are not certain whether your account has already been deactivated, contact our support team and we will verify your account status and next steps for you. If you need help, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team via the chat widget in this Help Center.

💳 Cancel Your Account, Refunds, and Data Deletion

🔍 Overview If your website has closed or you no longer need Search Atlas, you can cancel your subscription to stop future charges. This article explains what to expect around cancellations, our refund policy, and how to request full account deletion. ⚙️ How to Cancel Your Subscription You can cancel your subscription yourself from the dashboard. Cancelling stops future renewals, but your access continues until the end of the current billing period — the subscription does not end immediately. To cancel: 1. Click your Avatar Menu (👤) and go to Billing. 2. Open the Services section. 3. Click the ⋮ (three-dot) menu on the plan you want to cancel. 4. Select Cancel. 5. Review the confirmation/retention step, then confirm your cancellation. If you change your mind, you can reverse a pending cancellation from the same place by selecting Activate. Contacting support to cancel is optional, not required. Once cancelled, your subscription will not renew and no further charges will be applied after the current billing period ends. 💡 Understanding the Refund Policy Search Atlas has a refund policy that governs whether charges can be reversed after they have been processed. Refund eligibility is assessed on a case-by-case basis by our support team. - Charges may not be eligible for a refund depending on when the request is submitted and the circumstances of the charge. - If your charge is determined to fall outside the refund policy window, the refund will be denied in line with this policy. - To maximise your chances of a successful refund request, contact support as soon as possible after an unexpected charge appears. If you believe a charge was made in error, reach out to our support team through the platform as soon as possible so the matter can be reviewed. 🗑️ Requesting Full Account Deletion If you want your account and all associated data permanently deleted — not just cancelled — this requires action from our support team. Account deletion is a manual process that cannot be completed from within the platform settings. To request deletion: 1. Cancel your subscription first using the steps in the section above. 2. Contact our support team through the platform and clearly state that you are requesting full account deletion. 3. Confirm to the support team that your subscription has already been cancelled. Our support team will process the deletion request and confirm once your account has been fully removed. Please allow some time for the process to complete, as it involves removing billing records and associated data from our systems. 📊 What to Expect After Cancellation and Deletion - Cancellation: Your plan will not renew and no future invoices will be generated. Access continues until the end of the current billing period. You can verif

💳 Disputing a Charge and Cancelling Your Account

🔍 Overview Some customers have noticed an unexpected $199 charge on their credit card or payment method, sometimes alongside a separate Shopify billing charge. This can happen due to a billing migration issue, a duplicate subscription, or a re-checkout on an account that was already active. This article explains what may have caused the charge, how to get a refund, and how to cancel your account(s) if needed. ⚠️ Common Reasons for an Unexpected $199 Charge - Duplicate billing during migration: If your billing was recently migrated between payment methods (e.g., from Shopify to credit card), a charge may have been applied twice — once on each payment method. - Re-checkout on an existing account: Attempting to reactivate or re-subscribe to a plan that was in a past-due or pending-cancellation state can trigger a second charge without cancelling the original subscription. - Add-on billing error: In some cases, an add-on (such as OTTO Google Ads) triggered an unintended charge after a billing system update. - Two separate accounts: If you or a team member created a second account, both accounts may have been charged independently. ✅ Steps to Take If You Were Charged Incorrectly 1. Check for duplicate accounts. Go to your avatar in the top-right corner of the platform, then navigate to Settings → Team Members (URL: /settings). Confirm whether you have more than one active account or subscription linked to your organisation. 2. Review your billing history. Check both your credit card statement and any Shopify billing to identify whether charges appear on more than one payment method for the same billing period. 3. Note the charge date and amount. Have the exact charge date, amount ($199), and the last four digits of the card ready. This speeds up the investigation significantly. 4. Contact support immediately. Our team can locate the duplicate or erroneous charge in our billing system and process a refund directly. Refunds are typically returned to your original payment method within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank. 🚫 How to Cancel One or Both Accounts You can cancel your subscription yourself from the dashboard: click your Avatar Menu (👤) → Billing → Services, then open the ⋮ (three-dot) menu on the plan and choose Cancel. A confirmation/retention step will appear before the final confirmation. After cancelling, your access continues until the end of the current billing period — the subscription does not end immediately. If you change your mind, you can reverse a pending cancellation from the same place by clicking Activate. If you'd prefer, our support team can also action the cancellation on your behalf, but contacting support is optional. If you do reach out, please have ready: - The email address(es) associated with each account you want cancelled - Any reference to the unexpected charge so the team can link the refund and cancellation in one step Important: Cancelling your account does not automatically trigger a refund. You must explicitly request the refund at the same time so both actions are processed together. ⏱️ What to Expect After You Request a Refund - Our team will investigate the charge in our billing system (Stripe and/or Shopify) to confirm it was applied in error. - Once confirmed, the refund is issued immediately on our end. - Your bank or card provider may take 5–10 business days to reflect the credit on your statement. - You will receive confirmation once the refund has been processed. 🛡️ How We're Preventing This from Happening Again Our engineering team has identified and resolved the root causes behind duplicate billing during payment migration and re-checkout flows. Hotfixes have been applied to prevent new occurrences. If you believe you are still being affected, please reach out right away so we can investigate your specific account. 💬 Need Help Now?

⚡ Trial Billing, Cancellation, and Refund Guide

🧾 How the 7-Day Free Trial Works When you sign up for a Search Atlas plan, your account enters a 7-day free trial. During this period, you have full access to the platform at no charge. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your payment method on file is automatically charged for the first billing cycle. It is important to understand that cancellation must be completed inside the platform. Submitting a cancellation request through any channel outside the platform does not constitute a valid cancellation and will not prevent a charge. ✅ How to Cancel Your Subscription Correctly To cancel before or after your trial ends, navigate to the Billing section inside the platform and follow the on-screen steps to manage or cancel your subscription. Complete all confirmation steps shown to ensure the cancellation is fully processed. Once cancellation is confirmed, you will see a confirmation message on screen. Keep a screenshot of this confirmation for your records. Cancellation is only valid when completed through this in-platform flow. ⚠️ Why Off-Platform Cancellation Requests Are Not Accepted Search Atlas processes all subscription changes automatically through the billing system. Requests submitted outside the platform cannot trigger a cancellation in our system. This means: - Off-platform requests submitted before or during the trial do not cancel your subscription. - Only the in-platform cancellation flow stops future charges. - If you believed you had canceled outside the platform, your subscription remained active and a charge may have been applied at the end of your trial. 💰 Understanding Charges After Trial If your account was charged after the trial period, this typically means one of the following occurred: - The in-platform cancellation was not fully completed before the trial ended. - A cancellation request was submitted only outside the platform, which is not a valid method. - The cancellation steps were started but not confirmed through the final confirmation screen. Charges are applied automatically at the moment the trial expires, so timing is critical. We recommend completing the cancellation as early as possible before your trial end date to avoid any edge-case timing issues. 🔍 How to Check Your Billing History You can review all charges applied to your account at any time by navigating to the top-right Avatar Menu (👤) → Billing (see the Invoices and Activity Log tabs) inside the platform. There you will find your invoices and a history of billing events associated with your account. If you have been charged unexpectedly and believe you canceled your subscription correctly through the platform, please gather the following before reaching out to our team: your account email address, the approximate date you completed the cancellation, and any confirmation screenshot you may have saved. If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team.

💳 Fix Unexpected Charges After Cancellation

🔍 Why You May Still Be Getting Charged If you are seeing charges after you believed you cancelled your subscription, one of the following is likely the cause: - The cancellation was not fully completed — some steps require confirmation before taking effect. - Your cancellation was submitted after the next billing cycle had already been triggered. - A second or additional workspace on your account remains active with its own subscription. - Your request was submitted through an unofficial channel (e.g. a chat message) rather than through the billing settings, which does not automatically cancel a subscription. The sections below walk you through how to verify your subscription status and take the right steps to stop recurring charges. ⚙️ How to Cancel Your Subscription Correctly 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Click your Avatar Menu (👤) in the top-right corner of the platform. 3. Select Billing from the dropdown menu, then go to Plans & Top-ups. 4. Under your active plan, use Manage Subscription. 5. Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm the cancellation when asked. You should receive a confirmation message on screen and a confirmation email to your registered address. Important: Your cancellation is only complete when you see a confirmation message. If you did not receive this confirmation, your subscription is still active. If you are unsure whether your cancellation went through, or if you do not see a clear indication that it was completed, contact our support team so we can confirm and assist. 📅 Understanding Billing Timing Search Atlas subscriptions renew automatically at the start of each billing cycle. Here is what you need to know: - Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to the platform until that date. - If a new billing cycle begins before you cancel, the charge for that cycle is generally non-refundable as you have already been granted access for that period. - To avoid being charged for the next cycle, cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date. 🛠️ How to Check Your Current Subscription Status Not sure whether your subscription is still active? Follow these steps: 1. Go to Billing → Plans & Top-ups in your account settings. 2. Review the Plan Status field. It will show either Active, Cancelled, or Pending Cancellation. 3. If the status shows Active and you intended to cancel, proceed with the cancellation steps above. 4. If the status shows Pending Cancellation, your cancellation is confirmed and no future charges will be made after the current period ends. 5. If you are still unable to cancel or continue to see unexpected charges after completing the cancellation, contact our support team for direct assistance. 💡 Requesting a Review of a Charge If you believe you were charged in error — for example, you have proof of a completed cancellation before the billing date — our team can review your case. To request a charge review: - Gather any confirmation emails or screenshots showing your cancellation was completed. - Note the date the charge appeared and the amount. - Have your account email address ready so our team can locate your account quickly. - Contact our team through the live chat widget (see below) and provide these details so we can investigate promptly. Please note: Charge reviews are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Having documentation of your cancellation confirmation significantly speeds up the resolution process. 🚀 Preventing Future Billing Issues Keep these best practices in mind to avoid unexpected charges in the future: - Always cancel through the Billing → Plans & Top-ups settings — not via chat or email requests. - Save or screenshot the cancellation confirmation page for your records. - Check your registered email for a cancellation confirmation message after completing the process. - If you manage multiple workspaces, verify the subscription status of each workspace separately, as each one has its own billing.

🛑 Cancel Your Subscription and OTTO Top-Ups

🔍 Overview If you need to cancel your Search Atlas subscription before a specific date, this article explains how the cancellation process works — including what happens to any active OTTO AI top-ups you have on your account. ⚙️ How Subscription Cancellation Works When your main Search Atlas subscription is cancelled, the following happens automatically: - Your plan is deactivated on the requested cancellation date. - Any active OTTO AI top-ups are cancelled automatically at the end of the billing period, when the main plan's cancellation takes effect. - Until that point, top-ups will continue to bill unless cancelled separately via Avatar Menu (👤) → Billing → Services → ⋮ menu on the top-up → Cancel. Note: Deleting an OTTO site project does not stop the recurring top-up charge — it only releases the project's OTTO slot. Deep Freeze also does not cancel the top-up. 🛠️ What to Do If You Cannot Cancel a Top-Up Yourself Some customers have encountered an error when trying to cancel OTTO top-ups directly from within the platform. If this happens to you, do not worry — this is a known issue that our team can resolve on your behalf.

🚫 Confirm Your Subscription Cancellation and Stop Debits

🔍 Why You May Still See Debit Attempts After Cancelling If you have cancelled your Search Atlas subscription but are still seeing debit attempts or notifications, there are a few common reasons this can happen: - Cancellation did not fully process: In some cases, the cancellation may not have completed successfully in our billing system. A sync issue between the platform and our payment processor can leave the subscription in an active state. - Pending billing cycle: If a billing cycle was already initiated before your cancellation was processed, that charge may still go through. You will not be billed for any cycle that begins after your cancellation is confirmed. - Bank-side notification delays: Your bank or card provider may show a pending debit that was initiated before cancellation was confirmed. These typically drop off within 3–5 business days. ✅ How to Confirm Your Cancellation Is Complete Follow these steps to verify that your subscription has been fully cancelled in your account: 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account at app.searchatlas.com. 2. Click your Avatar Menu (👤) and select Billing. 3. Go to Services. 4. Check the subscription status. A successfully cancelled subscription will display a status of Cancelled along with a cancellation date. 5. If you see a cancellation date listed, your subscription has been recorded as cancelled and no further billing cycles will be initiated from that date forward. If the status still shows Active or no cancellation date is displayed, your cancellation may not have completed. Follow the steps in the next section. ⚙️ What to Do If Your Cancellation Did Not Go Through If your account still shows an active subscription after you attempted to cancel, take the following steps immediately: 1.

💳 Charges After Subscription Cancellation Explained

🔍 Why This Happens In rare cases, a charge attempt may occur after you cancel your Search Atlas subscription. This can happen for a few reasons: - Billing cycle timing: If your cancellation was processed close to your renewal date, a charge may have already been queued before the cancellation took effect. - Duplicate subscription: In some upgrade or trial conversion flows, a duplicate subscription record may have been created, triggering an additional charge. - Invoice not closed properly: An open invoice from before your cancellation date may have remained active and triggered a retry attempt. Our engineering team has identified these issues and has resolved the most common causes. We have also deployed a fix to prevent the Pay action from being available on invoices tied to canceled subscriptions, which eliminates duplicate charge attempts going forward. ✅ How to Check Your Cancellation Status Before assuming an error, confirm your subscription was fully canceled: 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Click your Avatar Menu (👤), then go to Billing and open the Services tab. 3. Check your subscription status. It should display as Canceled or Inactive. 4. Review your billing history to see if any charges were processed after the cancellation date. If your status still shows Active, your cancellation may not have been completed successfully. In that case, cancel again from Billing > Services by clicking the ⋮ (three-dot) menu on the plan and selecting Cancel, then complete the confirmation/retention step. Take a screenshot of the final confirmation screen for your records. Note that after cancelling, access continues until the end of the current billing period, and a pending cancellation can be reversed from the same place using Activate. 💰 What to Do If You Were Charged After Canceling If you see an unexpected charge on your bank or card statement after canceling, follow these steps: 1. Check the charge date against your cancellation confirmation date. A charge on the same day as your renewal, but before cancellation was processed, may be a final billing-cycle charge rather than an error. 2. Review your invoice history in Billing (via your Avatar Menu (👤)) to match the charge to a specific invoice. 3. Note the invoice number and charge amount before contacting support — this speeds up resolution. 4. Open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team. Share the invoice number and charge date so we can investigate and process a refund if applicable. ⏱️ Refund Timeline If our team confirms an erroneous charge, a refund will be initiated immediately. Refunds typically appear on your statement within 5–10 business days, depending on your card issuer or bank. 🛡️ What We Have Fixed Our team has resolved several billing issues related to post-cancellation charges: - Customers being charged despite a confirmed cancellation. - Duplicate subscriptions created during certain upgrade or trial conversion flows. - The Pay button remaining active on invoices belonging to canceled accounts, which could trigger unintended Stripe charge attempts. These fixes are now live. If you are still experiencing an issue, it is important to report it so our team can investigate promptly. 🙋 Still Need Help?

⚡ Stop Recurring OTTO Site Top-Up Charges

What Is an OTTO Site Top-Up Charge? An OTTO site top-up is an add-on that increases the number of active OTTO sites available on your account beyond your plan's default limit. This add-on renews automatically each billing cycle. This is expected behavior: removing an OTTO site project releases the project's OTTO slot, but the top-up is a customer-level billing subscription that keeps billing until it is cancelled separately. Why the Charge May Continue After Removal Removing an OTTO site project — or placing it in Deep Freeze — does not automatically cancel the top-up add-on subscription. The two actions are separate: - Removing or Deep Freezing a site releases the OTTO slot, but the top-up subscription remains active on your account. - Cancelling the top-up add-on is a distinct step: go to your Avatar Menu (👤) → Billing → Services, then click the ⋮ menu on the top-up and choose Cancel. Alternatively, cancelling your main plan will automatically cancel its top-ups at the end of the billing period. How to Cancel the Top-Up To stop the recurring charge, cancel the top-up subscription directly from your billing settings: Avatar Menu (👤) → Billing → Services → ⋮ menu on the top-up → Cancel. The top-up will also be cancelled automatically at the end of the billing period if you cancel your main plan. If you need help, contact our support team with the following ready: - Your account email address — the email associated with your Search Atlas account. - The exact charge amount appearing on your invoices or billing statements. - Approximate date the charge first appeared or the date you believed the top-up was removed. - Any steps you have already taken to try to cancel the add-on (e.g. removing sites, visiting billing settings). - Screenshots of your billing page or invoice showing the charge, if available. What to Expect - Our team will confirm whether the top-up add-on is still active on your account. - If applicable, our team can assist with cancelling the add-on and advise on any refund or credit eligibility. - Future invoices should reflect only your base plan charges once the add-on is cancelled.

💸 Cancel Your Trial and Request a Refund

🗺️ Overview If you signed up for a Search Atlas free trial, could not locate the cancellation option before the trial ended, and were charged, you may be eligible for a refund. This article walks you through how to cancel your subscription and how to request a refund through our support team. 🔍 How to Find Your Subscription Settings The cancellation option is tucked inside the Billing section of your account. Here is exactly where to find it: 1. Click your avatar or Avatar Menu (👤) in the top-right corner of the platform. 2. Select Billing from the dropdown menu. 3. Go to the Services tab. 4. Click the ⋮ (three-dot) menu on your plan to view cancellation options. From this screen you can cancel your active subscription or trial. After cancelling, access continues until the end of the current billing period. A pending cancellation can be reversed from the same place by clicking Activate. If you do not see a cancellation option or the button appears greyed out, contact our support team directly — see the bottom of this article. ❌ How to Cancel Your Trial Subscription Once you are on the Services tab: 1. Review your current plan details and next billing date. 2. Click the ⋮ (three-dot) menu on your plan and select Cancel. 3. Follow the confirmation/retention step and final confirmation to complete the cancellation. Your access will continue until the end of the current billing period. Important: Cancelling stops future charges. It does not automatically trigger a refund for any amount already billed. To request a refund, follow the steps in the next section. 💰 How to Request a Refund Search Atlas reviews refund requests on a case-by-case basis. To give your request the best chance of a quick resolution, have the following information ready before contacting support: - The email address used to sign up for the trial. - The approximate date you signed up and the date you were charged. - A brief explanation of the circumstances (for example, you were unable to locate the cancellation button during the trial period). - Confirmation that you have now cancelled or attempted to cancel the subscription. Once you have this information, reach out to our team using the live chat widget. A teammate can look up your account, verify the charge, and escalate your refund request to the billing team. ⚠️ Common Issues and What to Expect - I cannot find the unsubscribe button: The cancellation option lives under avatar → Billing → Services → ⋮ menu → Cancel. If the button is missing or not responding, our support team can cancel the subscription on your behalf. - I was charged after cancelling: If you cancelled but still see a charge, this may be due to a billing cycle that was already in progress. Share your invoice details with the support team for review. - I barely used the tool: Low usage during a trial period is taken into account when reviewing refund requests. Please mention this when you contact support. - My account shows a trial even though I cancelled: In some cases, a cancellation can reset a paid plan to a trial state. Our team can verify the correct status of your account and correct it if needed. 📋 Refund Eligibility — General Guidelines While every situation is reviewed individually, refund requests are more likely to be approved when: - The request is made promptly after the unexpected charge. - The account shows little or no usage of the platform's paid features. - There is a clear reason why cancellation was not completed before the trial ended (for example, difficulty locating the setting). Search Atlas does not guarantee refunds outside of applicable consumer protection laws, but our team will always do their best to find a fair resolution. 🆘 Still Need Help?

🛑 Cancel Your Subscription and Stop Recurring Charges

🔍 Overview If you need to cancel your Search Atlas subscription and stop future billing, you can usually complete this through the in-platform self-cancel flow. In rare cases, the cancellation may not register correctly. This article walks you through the self-serve steps and explains exactly what to do if they do not work. ⚙️ Step 1: Use the Self-Cancel Flow Follow these steps to cancel your subscription directly in the platform: 1. Click your Avatar Menu (👤) in the top-right corner of the platform. 2. Go to Billing. 3. Open the Services tab. 4. Find the active service you want to cancel. 5. Click the three-dot menu next to that service. 6. Select Cancel. 7. Review the confirmation/retention step that appears, then click Confirm to complete the cancellation. After confirming, you should receive an on-screen acknowledgement that the service has been cancelled. If you change your mind, you can reverse a pending cancellation from the same place by selecting Activate. ⚠️ Step 2: If the Cancellation Does Not Register Some customers have reported completing the steps above multiple times without the cancellation taking effect. This is a known issue that our engineering team has addressed. If your cancellation does not appear to register, do not repeat the flow multiple times — contact our support team directly so a teammate can escalate to the billing team and deactivate your account in Stripe manually. When our billing team processes a manual deactivation, your account is fully deactivated and no future charges will be made. This has been confirmed to resolve the issue completely. 💡 What to Expect After Cancellation - Your subscription will be set to cancel, and access continues until the end of the current billing period — it does not end immediately. - If you were mid-cycle, you will retain access until the end of your current billing period (unless otherwise confirmed by support). - You will not be charged again after your account is fully deactivated. 🛠️ Still Having Trouble? If you have already attempted the self-cancel flow and charges are still appearing, or if the system is not confirming your cancellation, please reach out right away so our team can resolve it manually on your behalf.

💳 Cancel Your Subscription and Request a Refund

🗓️ Before You Cancel Before cancelling, consider whether a plan downgrade or a short pause might better suit your needs. If you are experiencing a technical issue or have questions about your current features, our support team may be able to help you resolve it quickly. Either way, you are always in control of your subscription. 🚫 How to Cancel Your Subscription You can cancel your Search Atlas subscription at any time directly from your account dashboard. Follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Click your Avatar Menu (👤) in the top-right corner and select Billing or Subscription. 3. Locate your active plan and click Cancel Subscription. 4. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation. 5. You will receive a confirmation notice once the cancellation has been processed successfully. Your access to paid features will continue until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, your account will revert to a free or inactive state and you will not be charged again. 💰 Refund Policy Overview Search Atlas evaluates refund requests on a case-by-case basis. Understanding the general guidelines below will help set the right expectations: - Monthly plans: Refunds for the current billing period are not automatically issued after cancellation, as access to the platform continues until the period ends. However, disputes related to billing errors or unexpected charges are reviewed individually. - Annual plans: If you cancel an annual subscription, a prorated refund for the unused portion may be considered. This is assessed based on usage and the circumstances of the request. - Duplicate or erroneous charges: If you were charged more than once due to a technical error — such as a duplicate subscription being created — you are entitled to a full refund of the extra charge. Please contact support immediately with details of the duplicate transaction. - Trial periods: If a free trial converted to a paid plan and you were not aware of the charge, contact support as soon as possible for review. Refunds, when approved, are returned to the original payment method and may take 5–10 business days to appear depending on your bank or card provider. ⚠️ Common Billing Issues to Know About Our team has identified a few recurring billing situations that customers sometimes encounter. If any of the following apply to you, contact support right away so we can investigate and correct the issue: - Duplicate subscriptions: In rare cases, a second subscription may be created on your account after a cancellation or plan change. If you see two active subscriptions or two charges from Search Atlas in your bank statement, this is a billing error and will be corrected promptly. - Multiple charges in one month: If you notice more than one charge from Search Atlas within the same billing period, this may indicate multiple subscription lines were generated. Share your transaction details with support for an immediate review. - Charges after cancellation: If you were charged after completing a cancellation, contact support with your cancellation confirmation and the date of the unexpected charge. 📋 What to Prepare Before Contacting Support To help our team resolve your cancellation or refund request as quickly as possible, have the following information ready: - The email address associated with your Search Atlas account. - The date(s) of the charge(s) in question. - The amount(s) charged and the last four digits of the card used, if available. - A brief description of the issue — for example, whether you were charged after cancellation or whether you see duplicate charges. - Any confirmation emails or screenshots related to your subscription or cancellation. 🙋 Need Further Help? If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team. Additional Notes Search Atlas applies SEO changes using schema markup and structured data injections added dynamically. If you cancel, these dynamic enhancements are removed; your site returns to its pre-Search Atlas state. Your core website files, CMS templates, or hosting configuration are not changed. During the cancellation flow, you may be presented with a special retention offer — such as a discounted month — before your cancellation is finalised. You are free to accept or decline this offer. Also: No data is immediately deleted — you can export anything you need before your access ends. If you see a status of Pending Cancellation on your account but your subscription does not appear to update, do not submit multiple cancellation requests. Contact our support team via the chat widget so a teammate can verify your billing status and resolve any discrepancies. Also: have receipt/invoice number, charge date, amount, and email ready before contacting support. Monthly subscriptions: Full refund if requested within 14 days of billing date. Annual subscriptions: Full refund if requested within 30 days of purchase. Unused credits/credit balances are non-refundable. Use remaining credits before cancellation if possible.

🛠️ Charges After Cancellation: What To Do

🔍 Overview In some cases, customers have reported being charged after submitting a cancellation request — including situations where emails were sent but the cancellation was not fully processed on the billing side. This article explains what happened, what the resolution looks like, and how to get it fixed quickly. ⚠️ Why This Happens Cancellation requests sent by email are not always linked directly to your billing system. For a cancellation to fully take effect — stopping future charges and deactivating your account — it must be submitted through the self-serve cancellation flow in your dashboard (Avatar Menu (👤) → Billing → Services → ⋮ → Cancel). In some cases, a known billing issue caused subscriptions or add-ons to continue charging even after a cancellation was initiated. These issues have since been resolved, but if you are still seeing charges, your account may need a manual review. ✅ What a Successful Resolution Looks Like When this issue is escalated and resolved by the Search Atlas team, you can expect the following outcomes: - The most recent invoice that was incorrectly charged is voided - Your account is deactivated and the service cancellation is confirmed - No further charges are applied going forward You will receive confirmation once these steps have been completed by the internal team. 📋 Steps To Take If You Were Charged After Cancellation 1. Gather evidence of your cancellation request. Locate any emails, chat transcripts, or screenshots showing when and how you submitted your cancellation. Note the exact date so the support team can cross-reference it against your billing record. 2. Check your payment statements. Review your bank or credit card statement to identify the exact dates and amounts of any charges applied after your cancellation date. Have these details ready when you contact support. 3. Contact the Search Atlas support team directly. Share your cancellation evidence and charge details. Explicitly request that the support agent: (1) void any invoices charged after your cancellation date, and (2) confirm in writing that your account has been fully deactivated with no further charges pending. The agent can complete both actions during the same conversation. 4. Ask for written confirmation before ending the conversation. Do not close the conversation until you have received explicit confirmation that your account is deactivated and any incorrect invoices have been voided or refunded. 💡 Important: How To Submit a Cancellation Correctly To avoid this situation in the future, please note the following: - Do not rely on email alone to cancel your subscription or add-ons. Email requests may not be directly linked to your billing account. - The most reliable way to cancel is directly from your dashboard: click your Avatar Menu (👤) → Billing → Services, then open the ⋮ (three-dot) menu on your plan and select Cancel. You'll see a confirmation/retention step before the final confirmation. After cancelling, your access continues until the end of the current billing period, and you can reverse a pending cancellation from the same place by clicking Activate. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please reach out to the Search Atlas support team and we will be happy to help.

Cancel Your Account and Clean Up Connections

🧭 Overview Closing your Search Atlas account involves two separate actions: cancelling your subscription and removing any active website connections. This article explains what to do for each step so nothing is left behind after your account is closed. ❌ Step 1: Cancel Your Search Atlas Account To cancel your subscription, log in to your Search Atlas account and click your Avatar Menu (👤), then go to Billing → Services. On your active plan, open the ⋮ (three-dot) menu and choose Cancel. A confirmation/retention step will appear before the final confirmation. After cancelling, your access continues until the end of the current billing period — the subscription does not end immediately. If you change your mind, you can reverse a pending cancellation from the same place by choosing Activate. Contacting support is optional, not required, to cancel. If you'd like guidance, you can still reach out using the chat widget below. 🌐 Step 2: Delete Your Website Connection Cancelling your subscription does not automatically remove website connections you have set up. You should manually delete these connections before or immediately after closing your account. To remove a website connection, go to the website management area of the platform, locate the website connected to your account, open its settings or options, and select the option to remove or delete the connection. Confirm the action when prompted. Repeat this process for every website connected to your account. If you cannot locate the removal option, contact the support team using the chat widget below and they can assist you directly. ✅ Post-Closure Checklist Before you finish, confirm you have completed each of the following: - Subscription has been cancelled from your account settings. - All website connections have been removed from the website management area of the platform. - Any team members added to your account have been notified, as they will also lose access once the account is closed. - You have downloaded or exported any data or reports you want to keep, as data may not be recoverable after the account fully closes. 💬 Need Help?

💸 Cancel Your Plan and Request a Refund

🔍 Understanding How Search Atlas Applies SEO Changes Before requesting a cancellation, it helps to understand how Search Atlas delivers SEO improvements — particularly through OTTO SEO, our AI-powered optimization engine. Search Atlas applies SEO changes using schema markup and structured data injections. These are added dynamically to your site rather than written permanently into your source code. This is intentional: it allows OTTO SEO to monitor, update, and adapt your optimizations automatically as search engine requirements evolve. This approach is standard practice in modern SEO tooling. However, it does mean that if you cancel your subscription, the schema-based changes applied by Search Atlas will no longer be served to search engines. Your underlying site code remains untouched. - What Search Atlas changes: Schema markup, structured data, on-page signals delivered dynamically. - What Search Atlas does not change: Your core website files, CMS templates, or hosting configuration. - What happens after cancellation: Dynamic SEO enhancements are removed; your site returns to its pre-Search Atlas state. ⚙️ How to Cancel Your Subscription You can cancel your Search Atlas subscription directly from your account dashboard. Follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Click your Avatar Menu (👤) or navigate to Account Settings. 3. Select Billing & Subscription. 4. Click Cancel Plan and follow the on-screen prompts. 5. Complete the short cancellation flow — your feedback helps our team improve the product. Once confirmed, your plan will be marked as pending cancellation. You will retain access to the platform until the end of your current billing period. 💡 What to Expect After You Cancel - Your account remains active until the end of the paid billing cycle. - No further charges will be made after cancellation is confirmed. - OTTO SEO optimizations and dynamic schema changes will stop being applied once access ends. - Your Search Atlas data (reports, projects, keyword history) may no longer be accessible after your billing period closes. 💰 Refund Policy Search Atlas evaluates refund requests on a case-by-case basis. Here is what you should know: - Monthly plans: Refunds are generally not issued for partial months already used. If you have just been charged and have not meaningfully used the service, contact our support team promptly. - Annual plans: If you are on an annual plan and cancel early, please reach out to our team. Eligibility for a prorated refund depends on usage and how far into the billing year you are. - Billing errors: If you were charged incorrectly — for example, charged for the wrong plan or charged after a cancellation was confirmed — our team will prioritize resolving this and issuing a correction immediately. Refund decisions are made by our billing and support team. We aim to be fair and transparent in every case. 🛠️ Before You Cancel — Let Us Help If you are cancelling because Search Atlas is not making permanent changes to your site's code, or because you expected a different type of integration, our team may be able to clarify what is possible or offer an alternative solution. - We can walk you through how OTTO SEO schema changes are served and measured. - We can review whether your site integration is set up correctly for maximum impact. - For some CMS platforms, additional implementation options may be available. Many customers who reach out before cancelling find a resolution that meets their needs. We encourage you to get in touch first. 💬 Contact Support If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team.

⏳ Check and Expedite Your Subscription Cancellation

🔍 Why Is My Cancellation Still Pending? After you request a subscription cancellation, the process does not always complete instantly. It is normal for a cancellation to show a pending status for a short period while the system finalises the request. In most cases, the cancellation completes automatically within a few hours — no action is required on your part. ⏱️ How Long Does a Cancellation Take? Cancellations are typically processed within a few hours of your request. If your cancellation has been pending for less than that window, please allow the process to complete on its own before reaching out for support. 🛠️ What to Do If Your Cancellation Is Taking Too Long If your cancellation has been pending for longer than expected and you need it resolved sooner, a member of our support team can manually expedite the process on your behalf. Here is what to do: 1. Open the Search Atlas platform and sign in to your account. 2. Locate the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform. 3. Type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team. 4. Let the agent know your cancellation is pending and that you would like it expedited. 5. The agent will confirm your request and process the cancellation immediately. 📋 What Happens After Expedited Processing Once a support agent manually expedites your cancellation, you will receive confirmation that the process is complete. After cancellation, your access continues until the end of the current billing period, after which your subscription will be deactivated and you will no longer be billed going forward. If you have any outstanding invoices or active services, the agent can clarify the status of those during the same conversation. 💡 Tips to Avoid Confusion - A pending status does not mean your cancellation failed — it simply means it is still being processed. - You do not need to submit multiple cancellation requests. Doing so may cause delays. - If you change your mind before the cancellation is finalised, you can reverse it yourself from Avatar Menu (👤) → Billing → Services, then use the ⋮ menu on the plan and select Activate. 💬 Need Further Help?

💡 Cancel Your Free Trial or Keep Saving

🔍 Overview If you're on a free trial and thinking about cancelling — whether because of cost or any other reason — this article walks you through exactly what to do. Before you cancel, you may also be eligible for a 50% discount on your subscription, so it's worth reviewing your options first. 💰 50% Discount Offer Before You Cancel Search Atlas offers a 50% retention discount automatically during the cancellation flow. This means if cost is the main concern, you don't have to give up access entirely. Here's how to see the offer: 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Go to your Billing or Subscription settings. 3. Click the option to cancel or manage your plan. 4. Follow the on-screen steps — the 50% off offer will appear during this process before your cancellation is finalised. 5. Choose to accept the discount or continue with cancellation. If you accept the discount, your subscription will continue at half the original price.

Check your trial end date in your Billing settings. - After initiating a cancellation, you won't see a "7-day free trial" message at checkout — instead, you'll see a reactivation flow ("Select your plan to continue"). - Cancellation applies to your current plan only. Any add-on services may need to be cancelled separately. - If you change your mind after cancelling, you can reverse a pending cancellation from the same place by clicking Activate. 🛠️ Troubleshooting Cancellation Issues If you run into any problems during the cancellation flow — such as an error message, the discount offer not appearing, or the page not loading correctly — try the following: - Refresh the page and try again. - Clear your browser cache or switch to a different browser. - Make sure you're logged in to the correct account.

💳 Dispute an Unauthorized Charge and Cancel Subscription

🔍 Understanding the Charge If you see an unexpected charge from Search Atlas on your billing statement, it is most commonly related to one of the following: - A Starter or base plan subscription that was activated during a sign-up or trial flow - An automatic renewal of a monthly or annual plan you may have forgotten about - A top-up or add-on bundled into your subscription at checkout - A legacy plan that was deactivated inside the platform but not fully cancelled in our billing system Reviewing your subscription status before contacting support can help resolve your case faster. 📋 How to Check Your Current Subscription 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Click your avatar in the top-right corner to open the Avatar Menu (👤). 3. Navigate to Billing from the Avatar Menu (👤) (Avatar Menu (👤), top-right). 4. On the Plans & Top-ups tab, review your active plan, renewal date, and any add-ons. If you see an active plan you did not intentionally subscribe to, note the plan name and the charge amount before reaching out to our team. ❌ How to Cancel Your Subscription To cancel your subscription and stop future charges, follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Click your avatar in the top-right corner. 3. Go to Billing → Services. 4. Locate your active plan, click the ⋮ (three-dot) menu, and select Cancel. 5. Review the confirmation/retention step, then confirm cancellation on the final screen. After cancelling, your access continues until the end of the current billing period — the subscription does not end immediately. If you change your mind, you can reverse a pending cancellation from the same place by clicking Activate. Important: Cancelling your plan inside the platform is required to stop recurring charges. Simply stopping use of the platform or closing your browser does not cancel your subscription. Contacting support is optional — you can cancel yourself directly from the dashboard. If you completed a cancellation in the past and were still charged, our support team will investigate and correct the error. 💰 How to Request a Refund Search Atlas reviews refund requests on a case-by-case basis. To give your request the best chance of a quick resolution, have the following information ready when you contact us: - The email address associated with your Search Atlas account - The exact charge amount and the date it appeared on your statement - A brief explanation of why the charge was unauthorized or unexpected - Confirmation of whether you have already cancelled the subscription Our team can verify the charge against our billing records, confirm whether your cancellation was processed correctly, and issue a refund where applicable. ⚠️ Common Reasons Charges Appear Unexpectedly - Trial conversions: Free trials that convert to paid plans automatically if not cancelled before the trial ends. - Legacy plan errors: In some cases, older plans that were manually deactivated inside the platform were not fully cancelled in our payment processor, resulting in continued charges. Our team is actively working to prevent this. - Re-checkout on a past-due account: Completing a new checkout while a previous subscription was past-due may have created duplicate billing. If this applies to you, contact support immediately. - Bundled top-ups: Some promotional or special offers include usage top-ups that are reflected as a higher charge at renewal. 🛡️ Preventing Unexpected Charges in the Future - Always confirm cancellation through the Avatar Menu (👤) (Avatar Menu (👤), top-right) → Billing page and look for a confirmation message or email. - Check your subscription status after any plan change, promotional offer, or trial sign-up. - Review your billing statement each month and contact us promptly if anything looks unfamiliar. 💬 Contact Support If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team.

🛑 How to Cancel Your Account and Request a Refund

🛑 How to Cancel Add-Ons, Top-Ups, and Extra Seats

📌 Overview Add-ons, top-ups, and extra seats are billed separately from your main subscription. Cancelling your plan does not automatically cancel these items. This article explains how to stop each type of optional charge so you are not billed again on the next cycle. 🔑 What Are Add-Ons, Top-Ups, and Seats? - Add-ons — Optional products added to your plan, such as OTTO Google Ads, White Label branding, additional OTTO sites, or AI Visibility packages. - Top-ups — One-time or recurring extra units you purchase mid-cycle, such as URL Indexer top-ups, OTTO Sites quota increases, or AI Premium credits. - Extra seats — Additional team member licenses added beyond the seats included in your base plan. Each item has its own renewal setting and must be cancelled individually. ✅ Before You Start - Log in with the account owner or billing admin credentials. Standard team members cannot change billing. - Open your billing page and make a note of every active add-on, top-up, or seat expansion so you can confirm each one is cancelled. 🧭 How to Cancel an Add-On 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Go to Settings → Billing (or your account billing page). 3. Under your active subscription, locate the add-on you want to remove. 4. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) or the Manage option next to that add-on. 5. Select Cancel or Turn off renewal. 6. Confirm the cancellation when prompted. You will see a confirmation message. 7. Repeat for each add-on you want to remove. 8. Reload the page and verify that each cancelled add-on shows Cancelled or Will not renew. You retain access to the add-on until the end of the current billing period. 🔢 How to Cancel a Top-Up 1. Go to Settings → Billing and find the top-up in your subscription list. 2. If the top-up is a recurring charge, click Manage and turn off auto-renewal. 3. If the top-up was a one-time purchase, no further action is needed — it will not renew automatically. 4. For OTTO Sites quota top-ups, you can also cancel by activating Deep Freeze on the affected sites, which releases the slot and stops the charge. 👤 How to Cancel Extra Seats 1. Go to Settings → Billing → Team & Seats. 2. Remove the team members you no longer need from your workspace, or reduce your seat count. 3. Confirm the change. Your seat count will adjust at the next billing cycle. Note: Reducing seats below the number of active team members is not allowed. Remove team members first, then reduce the seat count. ⏱️ Refund Eligibility If a charge for an add-on, top-up, or seat was unexpected and you cancel within 72 hours of the billing date, you may be eligible for a refund. Contact support via the live chat widget with your account email and the charge details. For requests outside the 72-hour window, see [Refunds: Other Questions] in this section. 🔍 Still Showing as Renewing? If an item still shows as active after you cancelled it: - Reload the billing page — it may not have refreshed. - Check whether you have multiple workspaces; the charge may be on a different workspace. - Confirm you completed the final confirmation step. If you closed the dialog early, the cancellation may not have saved. - Contact support via the live chat widget if the item is still renewing after verifying the above steps. 📞 Contact Support If you cannot find the cancel option, if the button is missing, or if you need help stopping a charge immediately, reach out via the live chat widget inside your Search Atlas account.

🛠️ Cancel Your Subscription and Resolve Unexpected Charges

Seeing a charge you don't recognize, or being billed again after you tried to cancel, is frustrating. This guide explains the most common reasons it happens, how to cancel properly, and how to get a fast resolution if something still doesn't look right. 🔍 Why You May Still Be Charged After Canceling When billing continues after a cancellation attempt, it is usually for one of these reasons: - The cancellation wasn't completed. Some cancellation flows need a final confirmation step. Closing the page early can leave the subscription active. - You have more than one account. If you signed up with different logins, each account has its own subscription. Canceling one does not cancel the others. - A free trial converted to a paid plan. If a trial wasn't canceled before it ended, the first payment is taken automatically. - Someone else created the account. A colleague, agency, or team member may have started a subscription using your details or your company's payment method. - Add-ons or extra subscriptions are still active. An add-on may be billed separately from your main plan. - Timing of the billing cycle. Canceling stops future renewals. If you cancel after your renewal date, that cycle's charge may already have been processed. ✅ How to Cancel Your Subscription Follow these steps while logged in to the account that is being billed. Menu names may vary slightly. 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Open your account settings and go to the Billing or Subscription section. 3. Find your active plan and any add-ons. 4. Select the Cancel option. 5. Follow every prompt until you see a final message confirming the cancellation. Don't close the page before this appears. 6. Take a screenshot of the confirmation for your records. 🧾 How to Confirm Your Cancellation Worked After canceling, check that everything is in order: - Your subscription status should show as canceled or show an end date instead of a next renewal date. - No upcoming payment should be listed in your billing section. - Check for any other Search Atlas accounts you may have used and confirm each one shows the same status. Cancellation normally stops future renewals. Your access may continue until the end of the period you've already paid for. 🔎 If You Don't Recognize the Charge If you never intended to sign up, these checks can help identify the source: - Look at the charge date and amount on your statement and compare them with your billing history in the platform. - Think about any email addresses you might have used to register, including work and personal ones. - Ask teammates, colleagues, or any agency you work with whether they created an account or started a trial. - Check whether a free trial was started around the time the charges began. If you can't find a matching account, our team can look into it with you. Billing questions like this are taken seriously. 📋 What to Have Ready Before Contacting Support Having these details on hand helps us resolve your request faster: - The name and email address on the account, if you know it - The date and amount of each charge you're asking about - The last four digits of the card that was charged - A screenshot of any cancellation confirmation you received - The approximate dates you tried to cancel Never share your full card number or password in chat. The last four digits of the card are enough. 💡 Tips to Avoid Unexpected Billing - Always complete the final confirmation step when canceling. - Keep a screenshot of every cancellation confirmation. - Set a reminder a few days before any free trial ends. - Use one login for your Search Atlas account to avoid duplicate subscriptions. - Review your billing section regularly to check that your plan and add-ons are what you expect. - Cancel at least a day or two before your renewal date to avoid timing issues. 💬 Still Being Billed? Get Help From Our Team If you've followed the steps above and are still seeing charges, or you don't recognize the subscription at all, we're ready to help. Tell us you'd like the subscription canceled and that you don't recognize the charges, and share the details listed above. Our team can review the account, confirm the subscription status, stop further billing, and go over the next steps for the charges in question.

💳 How to Cancel a Trial and Stop Charges

🔎 Overview It is common to start a trial to test a feature or set up a project for a client, then forget to cancel before the trial ends. If this happened to you, the steps below will help you cancel the trial, check for any pending invoice, and ask our team to review a charge you did not intend. This is especially relevant if you already have an agency plan under one email address and started a trial under a different email address. 🧩 Why an Unintended Charge Can Happen - A trial usually converts to a paid subscription automatically if it is not cancelled before it ends. - A trial started with a different email address creates a separate account. Cancelling on your agency account will not cancel it. - Starting a trial for a client or a test project can be easy to forget once you move on to other work. 📧 Step 1: Identify the Account With the Trial Before you cancel anything, confirm which account the trial belongs to. 1. Search your inbox for emails from Search Atlas, such as a welcome message, trial confirmation, or invoice. 2. Note the email address that received them. This is the account that holds the trial. 3. Log in to the platform using that email address, not your agency plan email. 🛑 Step 2: Cancel the Trial or Subscription 1. Log in to the account that started the trial. 2. Open your account settings and go to the Billing or Subscription section. 3. Select the option to cancel the plan or trial and follow the on-screen prompts. 4. Look for a confirmation message on screen and a confirmation email. Keep both for your records. If you cannot find the cancel option, or you no longer have access to that account, skip to the support steps below. 🧾 Step 3: Check for Any Pending or Recent Invoice - In the Billing section, review your invoice history for a recent or upcoming charge. - Check the invoice date, amount, and plan name. - Check your email for a receipt. A receipt usually means the payment has already gone through. Cancelling the trial stops future charges. If a charge has already been processed, our team needs to review it separately. 💬 Step 4: Ask Our Team to Review a Charge If you were charged after the trial ended, or you cannot cancel it yourself, our team can look into it. To help us resolve it faster, include the following in your chat message: - The email address used to start the trial. - The email address of your agency plan, if different. - The date and amount of the charge or invoice. - A short note that the trial was started unintentionally and you would like it cancelled. - Whether you used the trial, for example if you ran any reports or added a client project. Each request is reviewed individually, so we cannot guarantee a specific outcome. Contacting us as soon as you notice the charge gives the team the best chance to help. If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be instantly connected with a member of our team. ✅ How to Avoid This in the Future - Set a reminder in your calendar for one or two days before the trial ends. - Cancel right after signing up if you only want to test a feature, if the trial remains active until the end date. - Use your agency account for client work, so everything stays under one plan and one billing page. - Keep a list of the email addresses you use for trials and tests. - Read the trial confirmation email, which shows the trial end date and what happens afterward. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions - Will cancelling my agency plan cancel the trial? No. If the trial was started with a different email address, it is a separate account and must be cancelled separately. - Does cancelling a trial refund a charge that has already been made? No. Cancelling stops future billing. Charges already processed need to be reviewed by our team. - What if I do not remember which email I used? Search your inboxes for Search Atlas emails, or tell our team the details you do remember, such as the client name or approximate date. - Can I keep my work from the trial? If you want to keep it, tell our team before cancelling so they can advise you on the options.

When you start a trial, your plan is set to renew automatically at the end of the trial period.

Your bank may take several business days to show it. ✅ How to Avoid Unwanted Renewal Charges - Set a calendar reminder a few days before your trial ends. - Cancel right after you sign up if you only want to try the platform. You can usually keep trial access until the trial period ends. - Check your confirmation emails for the trial end date and renewal terms. - Check your Billing or Subscription page to confirm your plan status. 💬 Need Help From Our Team?

💳 How to Check and Cancel Your Subscription

Need to confirm that a Search Atlas subscription is cancelled, or check whether you will be charged again? This article shows you how to review your plan, cancel auto-renewal, and gather the details you need to verify everything. It also explains what to share with our team if you want a human to confirm it for you. 📋 What You Can Verify For each account, you can confirm the following: - Subscription status: whether the plan is active, set to cancel, or already cancelled. - Cancellation date: when you requested the cancellation and when your access ends. - Most recent payment: the date and amount of your last charge. - Next renewal date: whether any future charge is scheduled. 🔑 Step 1: Identify the Right Account If you have used more than one email address with Search Atlas, you may have more than one account. Each account has its own subscription and billing, so cancelling one does not cancel the others. 1. Think about which email addresses you used to sign up, including work and personal ones. 2. Try logging in with each email to see which ones have an account. 3. Check your inbox for past Search Atlas receipts or invoices. The email they were sent to shows which account was billed. Check every email address you think may be linked to a subscription, not just the one you use most often. 🔍 Step 2: Check Your Subscription Status 1. Log in to the platform with the account email. 2. Open your account settings and look for the Billing or Subscription section. 3. Review your current plan, status, and next billing date. 4. Look at your payment history or invoices to find the date and amount of your most recent payment. If the page shows a next billing or renewal date, your subscription is still set to renew. If it shows a cancellation or end date instead, the renewal has been turned off. 🛑 Step 3: Cancel Your Subscription 1. Log in to the account you want to cancel. 2. Go to the Billing or Subscription section in your account settings. 3. Select the option to cancel your plan or turn off auto-renewal. 4. Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm your choice. 5. Return to the Billing page and check that the status now shows as cancelled, or shows an end date instead of a renewal date. Repeat these steps for every account that has an active paid plan. ✅ Step 4: Confirm the Cancellation Worked After cancelling, check for these signs: - The Billing page no longer shows an upcoming renewal charge. - The plan status shows as cancelled or scheduled to end. - You received a cancellation confirmation in the inbox of the account email. Check your spam or junk folder too. - No new charge appears on your payment method after the old renewal date has passed. Save a screenshot of the Billing page showing the cancelled status. It is a useful record if you need to follow up. 📅 What Happens After You Cancel - Access: In most cases, you can keep using your plan until the end of the billing period you already paid for. - Future charges: Once cancellation is confirmed, you should not be billed for the next cycle. - Past payments: Cancelling stops future renewals. It does not automatically refund payments that have already been processed. - Your data: Review any projects or reports you want to keep before your access ends. 💬 Ask a Human Teammate to Verify Billing You may not be able to find your subscription, you may have several accounts, or you may want a person to confirm the exact details. Our team can check this for you. If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be instantly connected with a member of our team. To get the fastest answer, include the following in your first message: - Every email address that may be linked to a Search Atlas account. - A clear request, for example: "Please verify and cancel any active paid subscription or auto-renewal on these accounts." - A list of what you want confirmed: subscription status, cancellation date, most recent payment, and whether any future charges remain. - Any receipts, invoice numbers, or screenshots you have. For security, our team may ask you to verify that you own the account before sharing billing details or making changes. Please contact us from the account you want to review whenever possible. 💡 Quick Tips to Avoid Surprise Charges - Cancel at least a few days before your renewal date. - Cancel every account that has a paid plan, not just one. - Keep your cancellation confirmation until you have seen a full billing cycle with no new charge. - If you see a charge after cancelling, chat with a human teammate right away with the date and amount. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions Can I cancel more than one account at once? No. Each account has its own subscription, so you need to cancel each one separately, or ask our team to help review them. Will I get a refund if I cancel? Cancelling stops future renewals. If you think a charge was made in error, ask a human teammate to review it. How do I know I will not be charged again? Check that the Billing page shows no upcoming renewal date, and that your plan is marked as cancelled or ending. What if I cannot log in? Use the password reset option on the login page. If that does not work, open the chat widget and type human teammate.

🛑 How to Cancel All Services and Add-Ons

📌 Overview If you want to stop all future charges from Search Atlas, you need to cancel your main plan and any add-ons on your account. This article explains what to cancel, how to confirm everything is turned off, and what to expect afterward. 🧾 What Can Be Billed on Your Account Your account may include more than one recurring charge. Before you cancel, check whether you have any of the following: - Main subscription plan: your core Search Atlas plan. - Add-ons: optional extras purchased on top of your plan, such as additional features, projects, or usage. - Extra seats or users: additional team members billed separately. - Other paid services: any other recurring item listed in your billing area. Cancelling only the main plan may not remove every item, so review each one individually. 🛠️ Step-by-Step: Cancel Everything 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account using the account owner login. Billing changes are usually available only to the owner or an admin. 2. Open your account or billing settings and find the subscription or plan section. 3. Review the full list of active plans and add-ons. Write down each item and its renewal date. 4. Cancel each add-on first, one at a time. 5. Cancel your main subscription plan. 6. Follow any on-screen prompts and confirm each cancellation when asked. 7. Return to the billing page and check that every item now shows as cancelled, or shows an end date instead of a renewal date. Tip: Take a screenshot of the final billing page. It gives you a record of what was cancelled and when. ✅ How to Confirm Nothing Will Renew After you finish, check these points: - No plan or add-on shows an upcoming renewal or next billing date. - Each item is marked as cancelled, ending, or inactive. - No extra seats or additional services remain on the account. If anything still shows an upcoming charge, cancel it or contact our team using the steps at the end of this article. 📅 Timing: When Charges Stop - Cancel before your renewal date. If you cancel after a renewal has been processed, that charge may already have been taken. - Access usually continues until the end of the paid period.

🛠️ How to Cancel and Delete Your Account

📌 Overview If you no longer want to use Search Atlas, you can stop future charges by cancelling your subscription. If you also want your account removed, you can request account deletion. This article explains both steps, how they differ, and what to expect. 🔄 Cancelling vs. Deleting: What's the Difference? These are two separate actions, and it helps to know which one you need. - Cancelling your subscription stops future billing. Your login usually remains, so you can come back later if you change your mind. - Deleting your account removes your account and the data connected to it. This is a more permanent step. If you want both, cancel your subscription first, then request account deletion. ✅ Before You Cancel or Delete Take a few minutes to check the following so nothing surprises you: - Export your data. Download any reports, keyword lists, audits, or other files you want to keep. - Check your billing date. Cancelling before your next renewal date helps you avoid another charge. - Confirm you are the account owner. Only the account owner can make billing and deletion changes. - Tell your team. If others use your account, let them know access will end. - Review connected tools. If you linked other services, you may want to disconnect them. 🧾 How to Cancel Your Subscription The exact menu names may vary slightly as the platform is updated, but the steps are generally as follows: 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Open your account settings or profile menu. 3. Go to the Billing or Subscription section. 4. Select the option to cancel your subscription. 5. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. 6. Look for a confirmation message or email. Keep it for your records. If you do not see a cancel option, you may not be logged in as the account owner, or your plan may have been set up in a different way. In that case, the support team can help (see below). 🗑️ How to Request Account Deletion Because deleting an account is permanent, we confirm the request with the account owner before it is carried out. To make a request: 1. Log in to the email address and account you want to delete. 2. Open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform. 3. Type human teammate to be connected with a team member. 4. Tell them clearly that you want to cancel your subscription and delete your account. 5. Answer any verification questions so we can confirm the request is from you. Tip: Include the email address on the account and whether you have already cancelled your subscription. This helps resolve your request faster. ⏳ What Happens After You Cancel - Billing stops from the next renewal date once cancellation is confirmed. - Access may continue until the end of your current paid period, depending on your plan. - Your data remains in your account until you ask for it to be deleted. - Reactivating is possible in many cases if you decide to return before the account is deleted. ⚠️ What Happens After You Delete - Your account and its saved projects, reports, and settings are removed. - You will no longer be able to log in with that account. - Deleted data may not be recoverable, so export anything important first. - If you want to use Search Atlas again, you would need to create a new account. 💡 Common Questions - Will I be charged again after I cancel? Once cancellation is confirmed, you should not be billed for future renewals. If you see an unexpected charge, let our team know through chat so they can review it. - Can I get a refund? Refund eligibility depends on your plan and billing terms. Ask a human teammate to review your situation. - Is cancelling enough to remove my data? No. Cancelling only stops billing. You need to request account deletion separately. - I am not the account owner. What should I do? Ask the account owner to make the request, or contact our team through chat so they can guide you. - Can I delete my account without cancelling first? We recommend cancelling first so billing is fully stopped. A team member can confirm both steps for you. 🙋 Need Help?

🛠️ How to Cancel Your Subscription and Avoid Charges

📌 Overview If Search Atlas isn't the right fit for your website, you can cancel your subscription at any time. This article explains how to cancel, what to expect afterward, and how to make sure you are not billed again. ⏰ Before You Cancel: Key Things to Know - Cancel before your renewal date. To avoid the next charge, cancel before your plan renews. Cancelling after a renewal charge has gone through does not automatically reverse that charge. - Check your billing date. Your next renewal date is shown in your billing or subscription settings. - Access after cancelling. In most cases, you keep access to your plan features until the end of the billing period you have already paid for. - Save your work. Export any reports, keyword lists, or data you want to keep before your access ends. 🧭 How to Cancel Your Subscription 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Open your account or profile menu and go to Billing or Subscription settings. 3. Find your current plan and select the Cancel subscription option. 4. Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm your cancellation. 5. Check that your subscription now shows as cancelled, or shows an end date instead of a renewal date. If you cannot find the cancel option, or the page does not match these steps, use the chat widget described at the end of this article and we will help you right away. ✅ How to Confirm You Won't Be Charged Again After you cancel, take a moment to verify the following: - Your billing page no longer shows an upcoming renewal charge. - Your plan status shows as cancelled or scheduled to end. - You have saved a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation for your records. If you still see a renewal date or an active status after cancelling, contact our team so we can check it for you. 💳 What About Charges Already Made? Cancelling stops future charges. A payment that has already been processed is handled separately. If you were charged recently and believe it was unintended, or you cancelled shortly after a renewal, tell our team as soon as possible. We will review your account and explain the options available for your situation. To help us respond faster, have these details ready: - The name of your plan - The date of the charge - The date you cancelled, if you already did 🔄 Alternatives to Cancelling If you are cancelling because the platform has not delivered the value you expected, we would still like to help. Depending on your needs, you may be able to: - Switch to a different plan that better matches your website's size and goals. - Get guidance on getting results from the tools you already have, such as site audits, keyword research, or OTTO SEO. - Pause your efforts by cancelling now and returning later. You can re-subscribe whenever you are ready. Cancelling is always your choice, and our team will support whichever decision you make. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions - Will I lose access immediately after I cancel? Usually not. Access typically continues until the end of the billing period you have already paid for. - Can I re-activate my plan later? Yes. You can sign up again at any time from your account. - I cancelled but still see a charge. What should I do? Check whether the charge was processed before your cancellation. If you are unsure, contact our team with the details above. - Is my data deleted when I cancel? Export anything important before your access ends, since availability of your data after cancellation can vary. 💬 Need Help?

💳 How to Cancel Your Trial or Renewal

📌 Overview You can cancel your free trial or stop your subscription from renewing at any time from the Billing tab in your Search Atlas account. This article walks you through the steps, explains what happens afterwards, and answers the most common questions. Cancelling a trial and cancelling a renewal use the same area of the platform, so you can follow the same steps for both. 🧭 Before You Start Check these points first so the cancellation goes smoothly: - Make sure you are logged in to the account that owns the subscription. If you have more than one account, cancelling in the wrong one will not stop the charge on the other. - Only the account owner or a user with billing access can make changes in the Billing tab. If you do not see the option, ask the account owner to cancel or to update your permissions. - Note your trial end date or next renewal date, so you can cancel in time. - Export or save any reports, audits, or data you want to keep. 🛠️ How to Cancel Your Trial or Renewal 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Open your account menu and select Billing. 3. Find your current plan or trial details on the Billing page. 4. Select the Cancel option for your subscription or trial. 5. Follow the on-screen prompts and choose a reason if asked. 6. Confirm the cancellation. The exact button labels and layout may look slightly different depending on your plan or any updates to the platform, but the options are always found in the Billing tab. ✅ How to Confirm It Worked After you confirm, check the Billing tab again. You should see one or more of the following: - A message saying your subscription or trial has been cancelled. - A note showing the date your access ends. - The renewal date no longer displayed, or the status changed to cancelled. If you do not see any of these changes, refresh the page and check again. If nothing has changed, take a screenshot of the Billing tab and share it with our team (see the last section). ⏳ What Happens After You Cancel - Trial cancellation: Your trial will not convert into a paid plan, so you should not be charged when the trial period ends. Check the Billing tab for the date your access ends. - Renewal cancellation: Your subscription will not renew at the next billing date. In most cases you keep access to the platform until the end of the period you have already paid for. - Your data: Your projects and reports may become unavailable once access ends, so save anything important beforehand. - Reactivating: You can start a new subscription later from the Billing tab or the plans page. 💡 Tips to Avoid Unexpected Charges - Cancel at least 24 hours before your trial or renewal date so there is time for the change to be processed. - Look for a cancellation confirmation message in the platform after you submit. - Check that you have cancelled every account or workspace you signed up with, if you have more than one. - Review your Billing tab after cancelling to make sure the status is correct. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions Can I cancel my trial and my renewal at the same time? Yes. If you want to stop both, cancel from the Billing tab and check that the status shows no upcoming renewal. If you are unsure, ask our team to confirm that everything is cancelled. Will I lose access immediately? Not usually. Access typically continues until the end of your current trial or paid period. The Billing tab shows the exact date. I cannot find the cancel option. What should I do? This usually means you are logged in to an account without billing permissions, or the subscription belongs to a different account. Log in with the account owner's details, or contact our team through the chat widget. I was charged after cancelling. What can I do? Check the cancellation date in your Billing tab against the date of the charge. If you cancelled before the charge and still see one, contact our team through the chat widget with a screenshot of your Billing tab and we will review it. Can I get a refund? Refund eligibility depends on your plan and the timing of your cancellation. Our team can review your situation and explain your options. 💬 Need Help? If you cannot complete the cancellation, do not see the option in the Billing tab, or are not sure your cancellation went through, we are happy to help. Include your account email and a screenshot of your Billing tab so we can resolve it faster.

🧾 How to Confirm Your Subscription Cancellation

📌 Overview If you have canceled your Search Atlas plan, you probably want to know two things: is the cancellation complete, and will you be billed again? This article shows you how to check both yourself and what to do if something doesn't look right. 🔍 How to Check Your Subscription Status You can verify your cancellation at any time from inside your account. Menu names may vary slightly as the platform is updated. 1. Log in to Search Atlas using the account you subscribed with. 2. Open your account or profile menu and go to the Billing or Subscription section. 3. Look at your current plan status. 4. Check for a renewal or next billing date. If your cancellation went through, your plan should show as canceled or set to end, and no future renewal date should be listed. ✅ Signs That Your Cancellation Is Complete - Your plan is labeled Canceled, Cancels on a specific date, or Ends on a specific date. - There is no upcoming renewal or next payment date. - You received a cancellation confirmation message at the address linked to your account. - The option to reactivate or resubscribe is now available. 📅 Will I Be Billed on My Next Renewal Date? In general, a canceled subscription does not renew. A few points can help you feel confident about this: - Cancel before the renewal date. Cancellations need to be completed before your next billing date to stop that charge. We recommend canceling at least a few days ahead so you have time to confirm it. - Access usually continues until the end of the paid period. After you cancel, you can typically keep using your plan until the period you already paid for ends. No new charge is made after that. - Pending charges can look confusing. Your bank may show a charge from before your cancellation. Check the date on the charge to see whether it was made before or after you canceled. 🛠️ How to Cancel If You Haven't Yet 1. Log in and go to the Billing or Subscription section. 2. Select the option to cancel your plan. 3. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. 4. Return to the Billing page and check that the status now shows as canceled or ending. 5. Keep your confirmation message for your records. ⚠️ If Your Plan Still Shows as Active If you believe you canceled but your plan still looks active, check the following: - Check which account you are logged in to. If you have more than one account or use more than one login address, you may be viewing a different subscription than the one you canceled. - Look for a confirmation message. If you never received one, the cancellation may not have been completed. - Check for add-ons or other plans. Separate add-ons or additional subscriptions may need their own cancellation. - Refresh the page. Log out and back in to be sure you are seeing the latest status. 💳 If You Were Charged After Canceling If you see a charge dated after your cancellation, gather the following details so our team can review it quickly: - The account login you use for Search Atlas - The date you canceled - The date and amount of the charge - A screenshot of your Billing page, if possible 💡 Tips to Avoid Surprises - Note your renewal date and set a reminder a few days before it. - Always verify the status on your Billing page after canceling. - Save your cancellation confirmation. - If you are unsure which plan or account is active, check before the renewal date rather than after. 💬 Need Help Confirming Your Cancellation? If you need us to look at your account and confirm your cancellation status or your upcoming billing, our team can check this for you. If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be instantly connected with a member of our team. To speed things up, mention your account login, the plan you canceled, and the billing date you are concerned about.

🛠️ Can't Find the Three-Dot Menu to Cancel

🔍 Overview To cancel a Search Atlas subscription, you normally open your billing or subscription page and use the three-dot menu next to your plan. Some customers open that page and don't see the menu. This article explains the most common reasons and what to do about each one. ❓ Why the Three-Dot Menu May Not Appear - You are not the account owner or an admin. Billing actions are usually limited to the person who set up the subscription or to users with billing permissions. - Your browser window is too small or zoomed in. On narrow screens or at high zoom levels, page elements can be hidden, moved, or cut off. - The page has not fully loaded. Slow connections, ad blockers, or outdated cached files can stop buttons from displaying. - You are looking at the wrong workspace or account. If you belong to more than one account, the subscription you want to cancel may be under a different one. - Your plan was set up differently. Some subscriptions, such as custom or partner arrangements, may not show the standard cancel option on the page. - The subscription is already cancelled or scheduled to end. In that case, the menu may no longer show a cancel option. 🛠️ Quick Fixes to Try First 1. Refresh the page and wait for it to load completely. 2. Reset your browser zoom to 100% (press Ctrl+0 on Windows or Cmd+0 on Mac). 3. Maximize your browser window, or try a wider screen. Menus can be hidden on small windows. 4. Open the platform in a private or incognito window to rule out cache issues and extensions. 5. Temporarily turn off ad blockers or privacy extensions for Search Atlas. 6. Try a different browser, such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. 👤 Check Your Account and Permissions If the quick fixes don't help, confirm that you're signed in with the right login: - Make sure you are signed in with the email address used to purchase the subscription. - If you were invited to someone else's team, ask the account owner whether you have billing access. - If you manage several accounts or workspaces, switch between them and check each billing page. 📋 How to Cancel When the Menu Is Visible 1. Sign in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Open your account or billing settings. 3. Go to the Subscription or Billing section. 4. Find your active plan and click the three-dot menu next to it. 5. Select the cancel option and follow the on-screen prompts. 6. Check that you see a confirmation message, and look for a confirmation in your inbox as well. Menu names and layout can vary slightly depending on your plan and any recent platform updates. 💡 What Happens After You Cancel - Your plan generally stays active until the end of the current billing period, so you can keep using the platform until then. - You won't be charged again for future billing periods once the cancellation is confirmed. - Any reports, data, or projects you want to keep should be exported before your access ends. Cancel before your next renewal date to avoid being charged for another cycle. 🚀 Still Can't See the Menu? If you've tried the steps above and the three-dot menu still doesn't appear, a member of our team can review your account and help you cancel directly. To speed things up, have these details ready: - The email address on your Search Atlas account - The name of your plan, if you know it - A screenshot of the billing page showing the missing menu If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be instantly connected with a member of our team.

✅ Confirming Your Subscription Is Canceled

❓ Why Do I See a Reactivate Button? If you canceled your Search Atlas subscription and now see a Reactivate button, that is usually a good sign. The button appears because your subscription is no longer set to renew, so the platform offers you a way to turn it back on if you change your mind. In most cases, seeing Reactivate means your cancellation went through. It does not mean you will be charged again. ✅ What Reactivate Means (and What It Does Not) - It means: your plan is set to stop renewing, and you can restart it at any time. - It does not mean: a new payment has been started or that your cancellation failed. - Important: only click Reactivate if you want to resume your subscription. Clicking it will turn your plan back on. 🔍 How to Confirm Your Cancellation Use these checks to be sure your subscription is canceled: 1. Open your account or billing settings inside the platform. 2. Look at your plan status. It should show that the plan is canceled, set to end, or not renewing, rather than active and renewing. 3. Check for a renewal date. If your plan is canceled, you should not see an upcoming renewal charge scheduled. You may instead see an end date for your access. 4. Check your inbox, including spam or junk folders, for a cancellation confirmation message, if one was sent to you. 5. Confirm that the button on your plan says Reactivate and not Cancel.
