Check frequencies
Four rhythms, set keyword by keyword, that decide your bill.
The frequency says how often a keyword is checked. It is the only setting that changes your usage for a given number of keywords.
| Frequency | Interval | Checks per month | Pages per keyword | Monthly cost per keyword, excl. VAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | 1 day | 30 | 180 | ≈ €0.108 |
| Every 2 days | 2 days | 15 | 90 | ≈ €0.054 |
| Weekly | 7 days | 4 | 24 | ≈ €0.0144 |
| Monthly | 30 days | 1 | 6 | ≈ €0.0036 |
Where to set it
Frequency belongs to the keyword, not the project. The project only offers a starting value, applied to the keywords created with it.
- At project creation, for the whole first list.
- In the Add a keyword panel, for new ones.
- On a row, through Edit.
- In bulk: select rows, then Change frequency.
- On CSV import, per imported project.
Changing the frequency breaks nothing: the history already collected stays, only the rhythm of future checks changes.
Picking a rhythm
DailyThe keywords that carry your revenue, a migration under way, a penalty to watch.
Every 2 daysThe sweet spot for a large set of commercial keywords: half the cost, a curve that still reads well.
WeeklyLong tail and content keywords, which move slowly.
MonthlyWatch-list keywords, tracked for the trend rather than for reaction.
Nothing forces a single rhythm. Mixing is where usage-based pricing pays off: 50 keywords daily and 500 weekly comes to about €12.60 a month, excluding VAT.
What happens if the balance hits zero
A keyword whose owner has no pages left is not checked: it is simply skipped, and picks its rhythm back up on the next pass once the balance is topped up. Nothing is deleted and the history stays.
