How Do SEOWedge Credits and Top-Ups Work?

What Are SEOWedge Credits and What Can I Use Them For?

SEOWedge credits are a flexible currency for paid users. Each credit lets you run an extra scan, generate an additional article, request a revision, export a PDF report, or perform other key actions after your monthly allowance is used up. Credits remove the need to upgrade your plan just to cover a busy period or a sudden spike in client work.

On the Pro and Agency plans, you can buy credit packs at any time. Credits are automatically used for any action once your monthly plan limit is reached. This means you never hit a hard stop or see a blocked screen—you just keep working, and credits cover the overflow.

You cannot buy credits on the Free plan. Free users have a fixed, one-time set of actions. If you want to scale up, you must upgrade to a paid plan first. For a breakdown of what comes with the free version, see Free AI Search Audit by SEOWedge.

For paid users, credits cover Full Scans (3 credits each), Article Generation (2 credits), AI Revisions (1 credit), PDF Report Exports (1 credit), Opportunity Discovery Runs (1 credit), and Brand DNA rebuilds (1 credit).

Action	Credits Required
Full Scan	3
Refresh Run	1
Article Generation	2
AI Revision	1
PDF Report Export	1
Opportunity Discovery Run	1
Brand DNA Rebuild	1

How Do I Know When I Need to Buy a Top-Up?

SEOWedge tracks your usage of scans, articles, revisions, and exports against your plan’s monthly allowance. When you reach your limit for any action, SEOWedge will automatically start using your available credits for that action. You’ll see a clear notification in your dashboard when you’re close to running out of either your monthly allowance or your credit balance.

If you have no credits left and your plan allowance is used up, you’ll be prompted to buy a top-up pack before you can continue with that action. This prevents workflow interruptions and keeps your team productive—especially during peak campaign periods or when onboarding new clients.

You can check your current credit balance and usage stats at any time in the account dashboard. This lets you plan ahead and avoid last-minute surprises. For agencies managing multiple clients, this is especially useful to keep all projects moving without delay.

How Much Does Each Credit Pack Cost?

Credit packs are available to Pro and Agency plan users. You can buy them at any time, and they never expire as long as your account remains active. The current pricing for credit packs is:

• 100 credits for $19
• 300 credits for $49
• 1000 credits for $129

Each pack is a one-time purchase; there’s no auto-renewal or recurring charge tied to credits. This means you control exactly when and how much you spend on overflow usage. Credits are only consumed when your monthly plan limit for a given action is reached—otherwise, your included allowance is used first.

This structure is designed for agencies and ecommerce teams who have variable workloads. You can buy a small pack for a one-off campaign, or a larger pack to cover a seasonal spike or multiple client launches. There’s no penalty for buying in advance or letting credits sit unused between busy periods.

For a full breakdown of plan pricing and what’s included per month before credits are needed, see SEOWedge pricing.

Pack Size	Price	Effective Cost per Credit
100 credits	$19	$0.19
300 credits	$49	$0.16
1000 credits	$129	$0.13

What Actions Can I Extend with Credits—and What Does Each Cost?

Credits can be used for any of the following actions once you hit your monthly plan limit:

• Full Scan: 3 credits per scan. Runs your discovered buyer questions against all included AI providers (OpenAI and, on paid plans, Google Gemini) and returns a full AI visibility report.
• Refresh Run: 1 credit per run. Updates an existing scan with fresh AI answers without running a full discovery cycle.
• Article Generation: 2 credits per article. Produces a draft page from your Brand DNA profile, ready for review and export.
• AI Revision: 1 credit per revision. Requests a new version of any generated article, using your feedback and brand profile.
• PDF Report Export: 1 credit per report. Exports a client-ready, branded PDF report (white-label on Agency plan).
• Opportunity Discovery Run: 1 credit per run. Finds new buyer questions and gaps for your brand or client domain.
• Brand DNA Rebuild: 1 credit per rebuild. Updates your brand profile for more accurate, on-brand content generation.

Each action is priced to match the real cost of the underlying AI and workflow steps. For example, a Full Scan costs more credits than a revision because it runs a full round of AI assistant queries and analysis across multiple platforms. This pricing keeps the system fair and predictable for all users.

How Do Credits Make SEOWedge More Flexible for Agencies and Busy Teams?

Agencies and ecommerce teams often have unpredictable workloads. One month you might need to run 20 extra scans for a product launch or client pitch; the next month, you might only need your base allowance. Credits let you handle these spikes without paying for a bigger plan you don’t need year-round.

Instead of upgrading to a higher plan just to cover a temporary surge, you buy a credit pack and keep working. This is especially useful for agencies managing multiple brands, where one client’s campaign can push you over your plan’s included limits.

Credits also make it possible to queue bulk article generation, run extra opportunity discovery cycles, or export more client reports—all without changing your plan or disrupting your workflow. You keep costs predictable and only pay for what you actually use above your base allowance.

Can I Extend My Plan’s Limits with Credits Instead of Upgrading?

Yes. On both the Pro and Agency plans, you can buy credits to extend any limit—scans, articles, revisions, PDF exports, or opportunity discovery runs. This means you only upgrade your plan if your regular, ongoing usage grows, not just because of a one-off spike.

For example: if your Pro plan includes 20 scans per month but you need to run 25 this month, you can cover the extra 5 scans with 15 credits (3 credits per scan) from a top-up pack. Next month, if you only need 18 scans, you won’t use any credits. This keeps your costs aligned with real usage, not with the highest month of the year.

This system is designed for teams who want to avoid the friction of plan changes, contract amendments, or unused extra capacity. You scale up or down instantly, with no admin or lock-in.

How Does the Credit System Fit Into the GEO, AEO, and LLM SEO Workflow?

SEOWedge is built for generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), and LLM SEO. The credit system is designed to support the full workflow: from measurement, to opportunity discovery, to content creation, to reporting. Credits allow you to keep the loop running—measure, act, and deliver results—without bottlenecks.

A typical workflow might look like this: run a scan to see which buyer questions and citations you’re missing, use opportunity discovery to find gaps, generate articles to fill those gaps, revise drafts for on-brand tone, and export reports for stakeholders or clients. If you run out of included actions at any step, credits let you keep moving without delay.

This approach is different from classic SEO tools, which often meter by tracked keywords or prompt count. SEOWedge meters by the actions that drive real change in AI answer visibility. For a deeper look at how GEO, AEO, and LLM SEO fit together, see GEO vs AEO vs SEO: The Practical Definitions and When Each Matters.

The credit system supports this loop by letting you act on every opportunity, even when your workload spikes. You avoid the tradeoff between cost and action, and never have to pause just because you hit a limit.

What Makes SEOWedge’s Credit System Different from Other AI SEO Tools?

SEOWedge credits are not tied to prompt count or tracked keywords. Other tools may meter usage by the number of prompts you write and track, which can add manual work and unpredictable costs. SEOWedge discovers high-intent buyer questions for you, meters by actions, and lets you extend any limit with credits.

This means you never have to maintain a prompt list or guess how many credits you’ll need for prompt tracking. Every scan, article, revision, or report is a clear, fixed cost. You can plan your budget and workflow with confidence, knowing exactly what you’re paying for.

The lowest paid entry point in the category ($29/month) plus flexible credits means SEOWedge is accessible for small ecommerce teams and agencies, not just enterprise budgets. The credit system is designed to match the real work of GEO, AEO, and LLM SEO—measuring, acting, and closing the loop in one place.
