Editorial Content Calendar

Calendar = 30-90 days ahead. Plan topic, target keyword, content type, owner, deadline, distribution.

Calendar fields

Per piece:

1. Title (working)
2. Target keyword (primary)
3. Cluster (if part of pillar)
4. Content type (blog, video, podcast, social)
5. Owner (assignee)
6. Draft due date
7. Edit due date
8. Publish date
9. Distribution plan (email, social, ads)
10. KPIs (rank, traffic, conversions)

Calendar cadence patterns

1. Daily: high-velocity (news, social)
2. Weekly: standard content (blogs, videos)
3. Bi-weekly: long-form / pillar pages
4. Monthly: editorial editions, reports
5. Quarterly: brand campaigns

Mix cadences. Don't publish only one cadence.
