Schedule recurring scans

Scheduling a scan means it runs automatically on a set rhythm, so your ranking data stays current without you remembering to re-run it. It turns a one-off snapshot into a trend you can act on and show clients.

What you'll need

• A paid plan. Scheduling is included on every paid plan; it is not available before you start one.
• A matched location and at least one keyword.

Set up a scan campaign

1. Go to Scheduled in the dashboard.
2. Select New scheduled scan to open New scan campaign.
3. Give the campaign a name, for example "Weekly plumber check".
4. Choose the Location and tick the Keywords to include. You can select several at once.
5. Choose a Frequency: Daily, Weekly, Every 2 weeks, or Monthly.
6. Set the Run time, then the Grid size and Coverage, exactly as for a one-off scan.
7. Optionally turn on Email me when this runs and, if you like, send it to a different address.
8. Save. The campaign breakdown shows the cost per run before you confirm.

How credits work with schedules

Each run spends scan credits just like a manual scan: grid size squared, per keyword. A campaign with several keywords multiplies up, so the breakdown shows the cost of one full run. Pick a frequency and grid that fit your monthly allowance.

If a scheduled run lands when your balance is too low, it is skipped and flagged rather than charged. See How credits and quotas work.

Managing campaigns

Everything lives under Scheduled, alongside any rank-check schedules. From there you can pause, edit, or delete a campaign. Pausing keeps the setup so you can resume later. Each run shows a status, including a clear "Skipped (no credits)" if that happens.
