# How to change your post tracking settings

Plan: starter

Pick a check cadence that matches your program size instead of leaving the default unexamined.

## The goal

Make sure Seed is checking your creators often enough to catch posts quickly, without assuming the default is automatically right for your program.

## How most brands do it

Most shops never open this panel at all. They leave whatever the default is and move on. That's usually fine, but it means two common misses go unnoticed: the brand handle is never set, so Seed can't reliably tell a post that tags you apart from unrelated content, or a shop running a very large, low-stakes seeding program pays for daily checks it doesn't really need instead of the lighter cadence that would suit it just as well.

## How experienced teams do it

Set your brand handle once, immediately. It's a five-second fix that makes every automatic match more reliable, and it's the first thing worth checking if "found" posts seem to be missing something obvious. Then choose cadence based on what you're actually optimizing for: **Standard** (daily for 14 days, then twice a week) is right when speed matters. A high-value campaign, a small enough creator list that you'll personally look at results often. **Light** (every 3 days, then weekly) is right for a large, ongoing program where you're checking in periodically rather than watching daily. You'll still catch everything by day 60, just a little later.

## Do it in Seed

1. Go to **Settings → Post tracking**.
2. Confirm your brand handles are set, if either reads "not set," click **Edit them** to set them from Results first.
3. Everything below saves automatically as you change it. No separate save button, no confirmation step.

**1. Track creator posts automatically**

Turns automatic checking on or off shop-wide. Turning it off doesn't just pause new checks. It stops Results from updating for every creator, so only turn it off if you genuinely don't want the feature, not to "save" anything.

Default: On

**2. How often**

**Standard**

. Daily for 14 days after delivery, then twice a week until day 60.

**Light**

. Every 3 days, then weekly until day 60.

Default: Standard (recommended)

**3. Your brand handles**

Read-only here; click

**Edit them**

to set or change them from Results. This is what lets Seed recognize a post that tags or mentions you, separate from your own posts.

> **Tip:** Reminder emails (the day 7/14/30 nudges asking a creator for their link) are a separate setting under Settings → Emails, see [how post tracking works: reminder emails](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/help/how-post-tracking-works#reminder-emails).

## Expert checklist

- Set your brand handle before you touch anything else on this panel.
- Pick Standard for anything you're watching closely; Light for a large, low-touch program.
- Don't turn tracking off to "pause". It stops Results updating for everyone, not just going quiet temporarily.
- Changing cadence doesn't retroactively re-check anything already past its window.
