Audit cadence

Default cadence by plan

Plan	Default cadence	Min cadence	Max cadence
Audit	Monthly	Monthly	Weekly
Strategy	Weekly	Bi-weekly	Weekly
Managed	Weekly	Bi-weekly	Daily
Full Domination	Daily	Bi-weekly	Daily

Cadence is per-company, not per-workspace. A Managed workspace can put its flagship product on daily and the rest on weekly.

How the scheduler picks a time

Audits run during the slot when your category traffic is lowest, so we don't compete with your real users for crawl budget. For a B2B SaaS in Eastern time, that's typically Sunday 02:00 ET. The scheduler avoids the previous run's exact second to spread load.

Overriding cadence

Settings → Company → Audit cadence. Pick from:

• Daily (Domination only)
• Weekly
• Bi-weekly
• Monthly
• Manual only

The change takes effect on the next scheduled cycle. To force an immediate run, click Run now on the company page. Manual runs do not consume any quota — they're free.

On-demand re-runs

Two ways to trigger an audit outside the schedule:

1. Run now button on the company dashboard. Available on every plan.
2. API: POST /v1/audits with the company id. Available on Full Domination — see API overview.

Manual runs respect a 10-minute cooldown to keep crawl traffic reasonable. The error response includes the seconds remaining.

What changes between runs

Even with no edits on your end, modest score drift is expected because the prompt-rank engines themselves are non-deterministic. We smooth this with three-shot sampling, but a 1–3 point wobble per dimension between runs is normal. See AI visibility tests for the math.

If you see a drop of more than 5 points on a single dimension between runs without a content change, file a support ticket — that's usually a parser regression we want to know about.

Pausing the schedule

Settings → Company → Pause audits. Useful when:

• You're between domain moves and the site is in a known-broken state.
• You're under a compliance hold and don't want fresh public crawl traffic.
• The site is in maintenance for more than 48 hours.

Paused companies keep their audit history but skip future scheduled runs until you un-pause. Run-now still works on a paused company — it's only the schedule that's paused.

How cadence interacts with cost

Each audit costs us roughly the same in compute regardless of who runs it. The pricing model bakes the cadence in: Domination tier ships with daily; lower tiers ship with weekly because that's the only sustainable economics. If you want daily on Strategy, Plans and pricing covers the upgrade path.

Cron transparency

Every scheduled run logs to your workspace audit log under audit.scheduled.fired. Filter the log to confirm runs are happening on the days you expect.
