Choosing the right frequency
- Price monitoring: Every 5 to 15 minutes catches most price changes before they sell out.
- Job postings: Every hour is usually fast enough. New postings rarely disappear within minutes.
- Legal/policy pages: Daily or weekly. These pages change infrequently.
- Competitor tracking: Every 6 hours gives you same-day visibility without excessive checks.
The AI suggests a frequency when you create a monitor based on the page type and content. You can always adjust it later from the monitor detail page.
