Does creating a BrightLocal Academy account automatically create a BrightLocal account?

No, creating a free BrightLocal Academy account won’t automatically create a BrightLocal platform account, and vice versa. Your Academy account gives you access to our free online courses and learning resources. To use BrightLocal's SEO tools and services, you’ll need a separate BrightLocal platform account, which becomes paid once your free trial ends and you choose a subscription.
