Retesting
In one sentence
Rerunning the same fixed question set across AI engines at regular intervals (Starbox GEO defaults to 30 days) to compare indices and metrics against the previous round and verify if the optimization direction is working.
The sources AI references evolve as new content is published; a single audit only reflects that moment in time. Regular retests reveal whether newly published content has been adopted by AI engines.
After retesting, adjust the next round of content topics based on the findings: prioritize creating content for questions that still lack coverage.
Example
If a second-round retest shows the brand still does not appear in price-related queries, prioritize producing pricing-focused content in the following month.
