Building Your Plan

Step 1 (Week 1): Interview sales (top 10 questions customers ask)

Step 2 (Week 1): Keyword research (30-minute sprint identifying 12–15 topics)

Step 3 (Week 2): Competitor analysis (what top 3 competitors rank for)

Step 4 (Week 2): Create editorial plan spreadsheet (topics, keywords, formats)

Step 5 (Week 3–4): Generate content in batches using AI

Step 6 (Ongoing): Publish on schedule, monitor, iterate

Monthly Workflow (After Initial Plan)

Beginning of month:

  • Review previous month’s performance
  • Add 4 new topics to backlog
  • Brief AI platform with topics for next 4 weeks
  • AI generates all content

Mid-month:

  • Review generated content
  • Make revisions
  • Schedule distribution

End of month:

  • Publish remaining content
  • Analyze performance
  • Plan next month

Key Metrics to Track in Plan

  • Keyword rankings: track position changes weekly
  • Traffic: monthly organic visitors
  • Engagement: average read time, scroll depth
  • Leads: inquiries attributed to each article
  • AI citations: how often your content appears in AI answers

Conclusion

An editorial plan transforms content from random publishing to strategic positioning.

With AI, planning becomes a competitive advantage – not a burden.
