Content calendars (also known as editorial calendars or blog calendars) are one of the most important tools for any content team. Organizing your content on a calendar (or on a list or spreadsheet) helps you plan, organize, and track content throughout the entire year.
The best content calendar templates give you a monthly visualization of:
- What types of content are being produced (blogs, social media posts, emails, etc.)
- When they are scheduled to be published (including which channels and by whom)
- Important links after they went live (traffic, mentions, engagement, conversions, etc.)
Highly effective content teams will also use content calendars to manage the production lifecycle of each content asset. This helps create clear workflows for production while also helping your team identify bottlenecks and areas to optimize the content creation process.
