Content Calendar

A content calendar is an operational plan for topics, owners, review and publication dates, and distribution channels.

For each item, record the reader’s question, the document’s role, writing and review owners, required materials and deadlines. Work backward from publication to allow time for drafting and review.

Use actual search data and business schedules when planning for seasons or events. Do not assume a universal seasonal pattern for an industry or impose the same publishing cadence on every team.

After publication, link revision history and relevant metrics to the next planning cycle. The purpose is to provide needed explanations accurately and on time, rather than fill a fixed article quota.

Use the time needed to gather evidence and review content, together with the likelihood of change. Keep near-term dates specific and distant topics adjustable.
