Most of the value in GetIntel comes from a steady weekly habit. This routine takes about 20 minutes. Monday works well, after the weekly brand perception and technical checks have run.

## 1. What moved? (5 minutes)

- **Home**: set the period to 7 days. Note any topic that changed a lot, and any page in **Losing citations**.
- **Topics**: sort by **Change**. For the biggest drop, open the topic and read a few of its latest answers.

## 2. Anything broken? (3 minutes)

- **Technical**: check **Since the last scan** for anything new.
- **[AI crawlers](/features/ai-traffic/)**: check no engine has dropped to zero.

## 3. Plan the week (5 minutes)

- **Weekly plan**: choose **Refresh** to swap unstarted tasks for the current top ones.
- Add anything urgent from step 1, such as the task that addresses a big drop.

## 4. Ship one thing (7 minutes)

Start the smallest high-value task on the plan, or hand an On-Page task to your coding agent. Shipping one fix every week compounds.

## Monthly

Once a month, compare **Topics** against last month's baseline, review **Brand perception** trends, and check whether competitors have changed.
