How often should I scan my brand?

Weekly scans are enough for most brands, and daily scans earn their keep when you are actively deploying fixes. Signal re-scans automatically every week; Scale re-scans every day.

Your plan handles the cadence for you. Signal runs an automatic re-scan weekly, which suits a brand watching its visibility and deploying occasionally. Scale re-scans daily, which is the right rhythm when you are shipping fixes and want to see their effect quickly. Each scan, automatic or manual, draws from your token wallet.

You can also scan manually whenever it is useful: after publishing new content, after deploying a tool or an article, or after a competitor launches something that might shift the answers. Manual scans use the same tracked prompts, so they slot cleanly into your trend line.

One honest caveat: more scans do not mean more precision on any single day. AI answers are generated fresh each time, so individual results flicker. What frequent scanning buys you is a denser trend line, and trends are what you should read. Give meaningful changes 60 to 90 days to show their real effect, and treat score movement between two scans as noise until it repeats.

A practical rule: scan weekly by default, daily while running an active deployment push, and manually after anything you want measured.

Whatever cadence you choose, keep it steady. Evenly spaced scans make trends readable; bursts followed by silence leave gaps in the record that are easy to misread later.
