Content Calendar Overview
The Content Calendar is your central hub for planning and managing content. View scheduled keywords, generate articles, and track your publishing progress all in one place.
Accessing the Calendar
Click Content Calendar in the sidebar to open your content planner. You'll see a three-month view starting from today, with each day showing any scheduled keywords.
Understanding the Calendar View
Monthly Grid
The calendar displays three months at a time, starting from the current date. Each day cell shows:
- The date — With today highlighted
- Scheduled keywords — Articles waiting to be generated or already created
- Article status — Color-coded badges showing the current state
Article Cards
Each keyword appears as a card within its scheduled day. Cards display:
- Article type — How-to, guide, listicle, explainer, comparison, or checklist
- Keyword — The target search term
- Search volume — Monthly searches for this keyword
- Keyword difficulty — How competitive the keyword is (when available)
Article Status
Articles progress through several stages:
| Status | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Pending | Keyword scheduled, article not yet generated |
| Generated | Article created and ready for review |
| Published | Article live on your website |
Pending articles can be dragged to different dates. Once generated, articles stay fixed to their date.
Key Actions
Add Keywords
Click the Add Keywords button in the top right to add new keywords to your calendar. Keywords are automatically distributed across available dates.
Generate Article
For pending keywords scheduled for today, click the Generate button to create the article. Generation typically takes 1-2 minutes.
View Article
Click View Article on generated or published items to open the article editor where you can review, edit, and publish.
Configure Settings
Hover over any pending keyword to access the settings button, where you can change the article type and content length before generating.
Delete Keyword
Hover over pending keywords to reveal the delete button. This removes the keyword from your calendar.
Drag and Drop
Reschedule pending articles by dragging their cards to different dates:
- Click and hold a pending article card
- Drag to your desired date
- Release to drop
If the target date already has a pending article, the two will swap positions.
Only pending articles can be moved. Generated and published articles remain fixed because their content may reference time-sensitive information.
