Mentova can launch campaigns on a recurring schedule so your visibility data stays current without manual effort. The Campaigns › Scheduling page (sidebar) puts the schedule config, a live cost estimate, and Mentova's advice on one screen.
Scheduled campaigns
Instead of launching campaigns by hand, turn on automation and choose a frequency. Mentova's cron job runs every day at 6:00 UTC and automatically launches a campaign for any brand whose scheduled interval has elapsed.
Available frequencies
| Frequency | When a campaign runs | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly (Monday) | Once per week | All plans |
| Biweekly | Every two weeks | All plans |
| Monthly (1st) | Once per month | All plans |
| Twice a week (Mon + Thu) | Twice per week | PRO and above |
| Daily | Every day at 6:00 UTC | PRO and above |
Turning on scheduled campaigns
- Open the brand you want to automate.
- In the sidebar, expand Campaigns and click Scheduling.
- Toggle the campaign card on.
- Set the prompt count per run, pick a frequency, and optionally turn on a model override for scheduled runs (different from the models you last ran manually).
- Changes save automatically — no separate "save" step.
Scheduled campaigns use the prompt count and model selection configured on this page (your regular model selection if no override is set). Credits are deducted at the time each campaign runs. If your credit balance is insufficient, the scheduled run is skipped and no credits are consumed.
Cost estimate
The status strip at the top of the page shows, live: whether automation is on and at what frequency, the estimated credits/month it will cost at that frequency (prompt count × slot cost × runs per month), and your remaining credits. If the estimate would exceed what you have left, the strip flags it in amber and offers an upgrade shortcut.
Ask Mentova
The Mentova bubble (bottom right) opens the assistant in an advice-only mode built for this page: it knows your current schedule, your plan's limits, and your live credit balance, and helps you pick a frequency, model classes, and prompt count that actually fit your plan and budget. It can't change your settings for you — you still make the change yourself in the page's settings.
Example questions:
- "What frequency is optimal for my plan?"
- "Do my credits cover a full month at this frequency?"
- "Which models are worth automating?"
Auto weekly analysis
The Auto weekly analysis toggle (autoWeeklyAnalysis on the brand) is the on/off switch for scheduled campaigns — the same toggle shown at the top of the campaign card.
By default, a scheduled analysis covers every one of your themes, and therefore every market: the questions are pooled and spread across them, up to your plan's questions-per-analysis cap. The cost shown on this page is computed on that same pool.
If you track several markets, the Markets measured block lets you tick some of them. Note what that changes: the questions-per-analysis setting then applies to each ticked market, not to the whole. Ticking a second market therefore doubles the cost of every analysis — the figure above updates on every click, before you save anything.
Ticking no market is not "no market measured": it is the default mode above, a single pooled analysis.
A ticked market with no question yet says so on its own row: adding a market creates no theme, you have to duplicate a theme into it for it to be measured. Otherwise it would stay ticked and never measure anything.
Stale campaign cleanup
If a campaign gets stuck in a processing state (for example, due to a transient API error), the system automatically detects and cleans up stale jobs every 15 minutes. Any credits reserved for unfinished prompts are refunded to your balance automatically - no manual action needed.
Tip: Weekly digest emails are sent every Sunday at 8:00 UTC, independent of your campaign schedule. Enable the digest in Settings → Notifications to get a weekly summary regardless of how often campaigns run.
The Sources page has no analysis of its own to schedule: it fills itself with every visibility analysis, from the sites the models cite. See Sources.
Campaign history
The sibling Campaigns › History page (sidebar) lists every analysis launched — scheduled or manual —, the credits charged, and what it produced. It shows the 50 most recent; beyond that, a note says so.
