How the Cost of Consumption is Estimated

Information valid only for consumer agency accounts

The cost indicated per project is only an estimate, based on the online price list. It is likely that the cost per project is much lower than indicated, both in terms of credits and keywords.

How are the credits deducted

A credit represents an expression that you search on a page of a search engine. 1 expression interrogated on two pages = 2 credits used.

1 audit of 10 keywords on 2 pages = 20 credits used. Thus there are as many credits consumed as there are combinations linked to 1 expression.

Our audit tool details the number of credits that will be used at the end of an audit configuration, before it is launched.

How are the keywords deducted

A keyword refers to the term or expression that you wish to track on a search engine.

A keyword can be tracked on several search engines / devices / locations. Keywords are consumed according to the number of combinations there are.

For example:

You follow a keyword on google.fr and google.co.uk: 2 keywords are counted
You follow a keyword on google.fr (Paris) and google.fr (Marseille): 2 keywords are counted
you follow a keyword on desktop and mobile: 2 keywords are counted

Are Credits Saved in Case of Non-Renewal of Plans?

When using the Audit modules, any credits that you have not used before the end of your subscription will be lost. Even if the tool is renewed at the time of a renewal, the remaining credits will not be renewed.

Credits are linked to modules and are available subject to having a valid account. If your account expires, your credits are no longer usable either.
