I think that is a bit much, my understanding is that Omnidex suggests that a re-index gets done, whenever 20% of the records have been added or deleted to a dataset.  (for performance reasons).

So if you have 1 million accounts and 200,000 got added or deleted last week, then go for it.  

While once a week maybe much, I really like it when I hear...

"When was the last time you re-indexed?"

response:

"How do you do that?"

I know they are going to see some performance improvements. :-)
