Canonical: https://docs.georanker.com/docs/start-a-monitor

Schedule a rank tracking report to collect fresh results without starting every check yourself.

## Choose a schedule

1. Open the rank tracking report you want to monitor.
2. Select **Update Monitor**.
3. Choose **Daily**, **Weekly**, **Bi-weekly**, or **Custom**. Use **Custom** when you need a different interval.
4. Review the next run information and click **Save Changes**.

Choose a frequency that matches how often you review the results. [Review your plan usage](https://docs.georanker.com/docs/credits) before adding recurring checks.

For a new report, you can select **Activate Monitoring** during **Review & Create**. See [create a rank tracking report](https://docs.georanker.com/docs/ranktracker) for the setup steps.

[Interactive example: Rank Tracker: monitoring schedule](https://docs.georanker.com/docs/start-a-monitor). The example uses illustrative sample data.

## Change or stop recurring checks

Open **Update Monitor** again to change the frequency. Use **Disable** when you want to stop monitoring, or **Cancel** to leave the current settings unchanged.

## Review changes over time

Return to **Overview** and use **Ranking History** to inspect a keyword across available runs. Keep the same search engine, location, and device when comparing results.
