How would frequent content updation in website helps in searching crawling and indexing rate?

Should we update once in a day or week or monthly?

Would be looking for some valuable suggestions.....

Short version: updating helps only when the change adds real value. As pointed out, search engines reward substance, not cosmetic edits; ’s weekly cadence is fine if you can consistently add meaningful, unique material. For the scraping worry that raised, crawlers try to pick the original source but sometimes a faster-crawled scraper outranks the original. The goal is to make your page the obvious canonical source and to get it indexed and linked before copies circulate.

Practical steps to protect and promote originals:

  • serve a self-referential rel="canonical" on the original page and use schema (datePublished) so crawlers see you as the source;
  • keep an up-to-date XML sitemap and ping search engines when you publish or substantially revise content (use Search Console’s URL inspection / request indexing for urgent pages);
  • get a few fast, authoritative references to the new page (social profiles, newsletters, partner sites) so the original accumulates signals before scrapers do;
  • avoid “fake” updates that only change timestamps; make edits that improve depth, examples, data or clarity.

If copying happens:

  • detect copies with Copyscape or alerts; contact the site owner and ask for removal or a proper canonical/attribution link;
  • if they refuse, escalate to the host or file a DMCA takedown where appropriate;
  • if you syndicate content, require the publisher to use rel="canonical" or add a noindex on the syndicated page.

Getting backlinks to inner pages: use internal linking from homepage/category pages, build linkable assets (guides, data, tools), pursue targeted outreach and broken-link replacement, and guest-post on niche sites. Monitor index status and crawl errors in Search Console and track traffic to confirm the approach is working.

Don't worry so much about crawling frequency -- focus on quality and relevancy to your business or website purpose.
If frequent updates to your content is relevant, then do it. If your content is "evergreen", don't do artificial things to update it.
You do want to keep your site from being "stale", so by all means update and add content on a regular basis, but monthly is fine for that.
Again, focus on good quality content (with your keywords), and inbound linking, and crawling frequency will take care of itself.

That is really helpful tip.. but now a days we are facing too much content duplication and we had came across few of our competitors
are copying our content. In this case if i update my site with quality content monthly than how search engine will treat our content ?

Search engines are always in a search a new and interesting stuffs. If you update your site contents with some interesting and unique stuff engines will surely appreciate that and will be give benefit of it.
You can update the page contents once a week.
