## Run it once in chat. Then put it on a schedule.

Claude is the example. Any agent that runs on a schedule works the same way.

1. **Ask once.** Ask for the work in your AI chat, the same way you would any day.
2. **Say how often.** Tell it to repeat. Claude saves it as a scheduled task with your RankSpot connection.
3. **It runs and reports back.** Each run lands in Claude's scheduled tasks, reports what it did and waits for your OK.

## Ten tasks worth running on a schedule.

Copy a prompt into Claude. It runs the task once, then sets it up as a scheduled task.

### Weekly AI visibility check (Mondays 9:00, rank tracking)
Checks your tracked prompts in every engine and tells you what moved.
> Every Monday at 9am, check my tracked prompts in ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews and AI Mode with RankSpot. Tell me where I gained or lost a mention since last week, and which pages they cited.

### Refresh pages losing clicks (Mondays 7:00, content)
Finds the pages slipping in Search Console and drafts refreshes.
> Every Monday at 7am, use RankSpot to find the 3 pages that lost the most Google clicks in the last 28 days. Draft a refresh for each and ask me before publishing.

### Publish from the content queue (weekdays 8:00, content)
Writes the next article in your queue and saves it as a draft.
> Every weekday at 8am, write the next article in my RankSpot content queue, score it against the top 5 Google results and save it as a draft in WordPress.

### Backlink opportunities (Wednesdays 10:00, backlinks)
Finds the pages AI cites most and drafts a pitch for each.
> Every Wednesday, find 10 pages that AI answers cite for my top prompts and that don't mention us. Find the editor and draft a pitch for each. Wait for my OK before sending.

### Outreach replies (daily 9:30, backlinks)
Drafts answers to editors who replied and stops their follow-ups.
> Every morning, check replies to my RankSpot outreach. Draft an answer to each one and stop follow-ups to anyone who replied.

### New threads AI quotes (Tuesday and Thursday, AI citations)
Finds new Reddit and Quora threads and drafts a reply you post.
> Every Tuesday and Thursday, find new Reddit and Quora threads that AI answers quote for my prompts. Draft a reply for each. I'll post them myself.

### Competitor sweep (1st of the month, rank tracking)
Lists what your rivals published and the keywords you don't cover.
> On the 1st of every month, list the new pages my top 3 rivals published, the keywords they target that we don't cover, and one article idea for each gap.

### Site health check (Fridays 16:00, coming soon)
Crawls your site and suggests fixes for anything new.
> Every Friday afternoon, crawl my site with RankSpot. Flag new 404s, missing schema and blocked AI crawlers, and suggest a fix for each.

### Indexing check (daily 18:00, content)
Requests indexing for anything published that Google hasn't picked up.
> Every evening, check whether the articles I published this week are indexed in Google. Request indexing for any that aren't.

### Monthly report (last Friday, reporting)
One summary of rankings, AI mentions, links won and articles published.
> On the last Friday of each month, summarize my rankings, AI visibility, links won and articles published this month, compared with last month.

## Scheduled, not unsupervised.

- **A spend cap on every run.** Set a limit per task. RankSpot stops and asks if a run would go over it.
- **Your approval rules still apply.** Articles, pitches and fixes wait for your OK, the same as when you ask in chat.
- **Pause or change it by asking.** "Move the Monday check to Tuesday" or "Pause outreach until next month" is enough.
