🔍 Finding OTTO PPC and OTTO SEO After UI Update

🗺️ What Changed and Why Search Atlas recently updated its navigation and product naming to make the platform cleaner and more intuitive. As part of this update, the OTTO SEO and OTTO PPC modules were renamed and relocated within the left sidebar. If you previously bookmarked these sections or relied on their old names, they may appear to be missing — but they are still fully available. 📍 Where to Find OTTO SEO OTTO SEO is now accessible in the left sidebar under OTTO SEO, inside the SEO Automation page. To navigate to it: 1. Log in to your Search Atlas account. 2. Look at the left sidebar navigation menu. 3. Click on OTTO SEO in the left sidebar, then open SEO Automation inside it. 4. You will be taken directly to the OTTO SEO automation dashboard (URL: /seo-automation-v3). All of your existing OTTO SEO settings, activated sites, and configurations are preserved — only the label in the navigation has changed. 📍 Where to Find OTTO PPC OTTO PPC has also been integrated under the updated navigation structure. To find it, go to Ads → Google Ads → Campaign Hub (Campaign Hub) in the left sidebar. The module and all your campaign data remain intact. If the OTTO PPC option is not immediately visible after logging in, try the following: - Refresh your browser and check the sidebar again — some menu items load after authentication. - Ensure your subscription plan includes OTTO PPC access, as this feature is plan-dependent. - Clear your browser cache and reload the platform if you are seeing a stale version of the UI. 💡 Tips for Getting Around the Updated UI - Use the search bar (if available at the top of the sidebar) to quickly locate any module by keyword. - Update your bookmarks — old URLs may redirect, but saving the new direct URLs ensures faster access going forward. - Look for new labels — the core functionality remains the same even when a section has been renamed. 🛠️ Still Can't Find What You Need? If you have followed the steps above and still cannot locate OTTO PPC or OTTO SEO in your account, it is possible that your account permissions, plan tier, or a temporary display issue is causing the problem.

⚙️ OTTO Site Audit Bug Fixes July 2026

Two bug fixes have been shipped for OTTO and Site Audit, addressing issues with the Raw JSON Schema editor and a concurrent loader race condition in the OTTO v3 Issues Table. ✨ What's New This release resolves two bugs that could disrupt your experience when working with schema markup in OTTO: - JSON Schema editor node highlighting: The Raw JSON Schema editor was incorrectly highlighting the wrong node when removing {} or [] brackets. This has been corrected so the editor now accurately highlights the affected node during edits. - Concurrent schema generation loader race: A race condition in the OTTO v3 Issues Table caused inconsistent loader behavior when multiple schema generation requests were triggered simultaneously. This has been fixed to ensure the loader state is handled reliably under concurrent operations. 🛠️ How to Use It 1. Navigate to OTTO SEO from your Search Atlas dashboard. 2. Open the Issues Table to review any schema-related tasks. 3. Use the Raw JSON Schema editor to make edits — node highlighting will now reflect the correct element when adding or removing brackets. 4. Trigger schema generation as needed, knowing that concurrent requests will no longer cause loader inconsistencies. 🔍 Recognizing These Issues If you have experienced either of the following symptoms, they are caused by the bugs described above and are now resolved — no action is required on your part: - Wrong node highlighted in the JSON Schema editor: While editing schema markup in the Raw JSON Schema editor, you may have noticed that deleting a {} or [] bracket caused a different, unrelated node to become highlighted instead of the one you were editing. This was a display bug and did not alter your schema data, but it made it difficult to track which element was being modified. - Loader spinning inconsistently or getting stuck: If you triggered schema generation for multiple pages or issues at the same time in the OTTO v3 Issues Table, you may have seen the loading indicator behave erratically — for example, continuing to spin after generation completed, or stopping prematurely. This was caused by a race condition when concurrent requests were processed simultaneously. 📋 What to Expect These are targeted bug fixes with no changes to existing workflows or feature functionality. The JSON Schema editor and OTTO v3 Issues Table should now behave consistently and accurately. No action is required on your end — the fixes are applied automatically. If you are still seeing incorrect node highlighting or loader inconsistencies after reading this, please hard-refresh your browser (Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows, Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) to ensure you are running the latest version of the platform.

💰 OTTO PPC Keyword Entry UI Improvement

OTTO PPC has received a targeted UI improvement that resolves a full-interface reload triggered during keyword entry in Search Campaigns, resulting in a smoother and faster campaign-building experience. ✨ What's New Previously, typing a keyword into the Search Campaign interface could cause the entire UI to reload unexpectedly, interrupting your workflow. This improvement eliminates that unnecessary full-page load so the interface remains stable and responsive as you enter and manage keywords. 🛠️ How to Use It 1. Navigate to OTTO PPC from your Search Atlas dashboard. 2. Open or create a Search Campaign. 3. Enter keywords into the keyword input field as normal. 4. The interface will now remain stable throughout the entry process without triggering a full UI reload. 📋 What to Expect This fix applies automatically — no action is required on your part. All existing Search Campaigns and keyword workflows are unaffected. The improvement is limited to resolving the unintended reload behavior during keyword entry and does not change any other campaign functionality.

⚙️ OTTO & Site Audit Updates July 2026

It is now available again, allowing you to apply bulk deployments without interruption. - Wildfire backlinks false positive resolved: OTTO Audit was incorrectly flagging certain backlinks as wildfire backlinks. This false positive has been corrected so backlink data now accurately reflects your site's actual link profile. 🛠️ How to Use It 1. Open OTTO SEO from your Search Atlas dashboard. 2. Navigate to Site Audit to confirm the Deploy as-is bulk action is available in your action menu. 3. Review your Backlinks report to verify wildfire backlink flags reflect accurate data. 4. Go to OTTO SEO → Site Audit → Site Lens to explore the updated layout. 📋 What to Expect - The Site Lens redesign is a visual and layout update only — no changes have been made to underlying site data or crawl behavior. - Backlink reports will no longer surface false positive wildfire flags that were previously triggered by specific link patterns. - The Deploy as-is bulk action behaves as it did before the regression and requires no additional configuration.

Instead of discovering overspend after the fact, the alerts surface the issue early so you can take corrective action before budget is wasted. This is the first automated performance-monitoring layer built directly into OTTO PPC. Whitelabel Branding Fixes: Two locations where SearchAtlas branding could leak through on whitelabel accounts have been patched — the WordPress install wizard and a global platform element. Whitelabel accounts will now present a fully consistent branded experience to their end users in both areas. 🛠️ How to Use It KPI Alerts: The KPI Alerts feature is part of OTTO PPC and runs automatically once it is live on your account. Because full configuration details are available directly inside the platform after the feature is enabled, log in to your Search Atlas dashboard and navigate to OTTO PPC to check whether the feature is active for your account.

Alerts are tied to individual Google Ads campaigns so thresholds can be managed per campaign based on its specific goals. For whitelabel users, the branding fixes apply immediately with no configuration needed; both the WordPress install wizard and the affected global element will now reflect your whitelabel branding correctly.

🚀 OTTO PPC & Campaign Hub Improvements

We've made a number of improvements to OTTO PPC and Campaign Hub as part of the Release 2026-08-26 update. These changes are designed to streamline your workflow, improve accuracy, and fix issues that were getting in the way of managing your paid campaigns effectively. ✨ What's New The following improvements are now live across OTTO PPC and Campaign Hub: - Cleaner search flow: The OTTO PPC search flow now concludes with a build confirmation step, giving you a clearer signal that your setup is complete. - Per-campaign performance target overrides: You can now set individual performance targets per campaign directly in Campaign Efficiency, giving you more granular control over your goals. - Live character limit enforcement in Edit Ad: When editing your ad display path, the character limit is now enforced as you type rather than only flagging an error when you try to save — preventing unexpected rejections mid-flow. - Stable campaign row positioning: Changing a campaign's status in Campaign Hub no longer causes the row to jump to a different position in the table, so you always know where to find it after making a change. - Accurate Negative Keywords counts: The campaign count shown on the Negative Keywords page is now consistent across all views, and keyword term abbreviations in the Negative Keywords table are displayed uniformly. - Cleaner empty states: Pages including Reports, Campaign Hub, Campaign Performance, Campaign Audit, and Negative Keywords no longer display stale data when no account is connected — you'll see an accurate empty state instead. - Improved badge accuracy: A status badge no longer appears in the budget and spend area when there is no data to support the status. - Approve Ads button visibility: The per-ad Approve button in Approve Ads now renders fully within the viewport so it's always accessible and clickable. - Faster Launch Wizard validation: Step 1 of the Launch Wizard now validates all required fields at the same time when you press Continue, rather than surfacing errors one at a time, so you can complete setup more efficiently. 🛠️ How to Use It 1. Navigate to OTTO PPC from your dashboard. 2. Use the Launch Wizard to set up or review a campaign — all field errors on Step 1 will now surface together when you press Continue. 3.

🔧 OTTO SEO & Crawl Monitoring Bug Fixes

The 2026-08-26 release resolves six usability and display issues across OTTO SEO and Crawl Monitoring. All fixes are live and apply automatically — no action is needed on your end. 🕷️ Crawl Monitoring Fixes - Tab switching now works correctly: The Average Response Time and Total Download Size tabs in Crawl Monitoring previously appeared clickable but did not switch the displayed data. Both tabs now respond correctly and load their respective content. - Clearer empty state when Crawl Monitoring is not installed: The previous experience showed a dismissible pop-up and empty data boxes when Crawl Monitoring had not yet been set up. This has been replaced with a persistent not-installed banner that makes the setup status immediately obvious and stays visible until installation is complete. - Installation Guide subtitle corrected: The subtitle shown in the Crawl Monitoring Installation Guide was incorrectly describing a different feature. It now accurately reflects Crawl Monitoring. 📡 Live Monitoring Fix - Alert count wording corrected: The alert count in Live Monitoring now uses correct singular and plural grammar — for example, 1 Alert Detected instead of 1 Alerts Detected. ⚙️ OTTO SEO & Audit Fixes - XML Sitemaps modal search results no longer persist: When closing and reopening the XML Sitemaps modal inside OTTO SEO and Audit, previous search results were incorrectly carried over. The modal now resets cleanly each time it is opened. - Quota top-up modal wording corrected: The OTTO quota top-up modal displayed per sites, which was grammatically incorrect.

Recipients viewing your shared report will see the real location names as intended. - OTTO SEO status in reports: You can now surface your OTTO SEO connection status and the count of found issues directly within Report Builder, giving clients and stakeholders a clear snapshot of your site's SEO health alongside the rest of your report data. - Improved integration auto-matching: Report Builder now more reliably auto-populates the correct integration when adding widgets for LLM Visibility, Google Ads, and Facebook Ads — reducing the need for manual selection and saving setup time. 🛠️ How to Use It 1. Open the left sidebar → Reports (Report Builder). 2. To see OTTO data, add or edit a widget and look for the OTTO SEO connection status and found-issues count in the available data options. 3.

🗂️ OTTO PPC Setup and Campaign Improvements

OTTO PPC has been updated with a more streamlined business setup experience and a series of fixes that improve how campaigns, filters, and performance data are displayed throughout the platform. ✨ What's New The Business step in OTTO PPC now connects directly to Brand Vault, so your brand information is pulled in automatically rather than entered manually. This means your business details stay consistent across the platform without duplicating effort. Additional improvements include: - Independent campaign language editing: You can now update the language setting for a campaign on its own, without it being tied to other business info fields. The Business Info form also locks while it loads to prevent accidental edits mid-update. - Filter dropdown behavior: The campaign select filter now closes automatically after a campaign is deleted, keeping the interface clean and responsive. - Negative Keywords filter display: The select filter now correctly shows the Negative Keywords toggle as on or off, so you can see its status at a glance. - Tooltips on Campaign Audit and Report pages: Tooltips that were not appearing on the Campaign Audit and Report pages are now visible as expected. - Campaign Performance graph: The Conversions (CONV) metric selector in the Campaign Performance graph is working correctly again. 🛠️ How to Use It 1. Open OTTO PPC from your dashboard. 2. Navigate to the Business setup step. 3. Select your brand from Brand Vault to populate your business information automatically. 4. Adjust your campaign language independently as needed from the campaign settings. 5. Use the campaign select filter and check the Negative Keywords toggle — both now reflect accurate, up-to-date status. 📋 What to Expect If you previously entered business information manually during OTTO PPC setup, you will now be prompted to select a brand from Brand Vault instead. Existing campaigns are not affected by this change. The Campaign Performance graph, filter dropdowns, and tooltips across Campaign Audit and Report pages all behave as expected following these updates.
