In plain English
The plan turns the strategy into named pieces with owners and dates. It is administrative work and it is the difference between intending to publish and publishing.
Plans fail on capacity rather than on ideas. A weekly cadence planned by someone who will be doing it alongside a full workload lasts about five weeks.
What to know
Named pieces
Specific titles, not themes.
Owners and dates
Who writes it, who reviews it, when it goes live.
Honest capacity
Planned against real available time.
Includes updates
Refreshing existing pages counts as planned work.
Why it matters
A sustainable cadence outperforms an ambitious one, because consistency is what search and audiences both reward. Fortnightly for a year beats weekly for six weeks.
Common mistakes
×Planning a cadence nobody has time to sustain.
×Themes instead of specific pieces.
×No allowance for updating existing content.
×No buffer, so one busy week ends the schedule.
FAQs
How often should I publish?
At the rate you can hold for twelve months. Slower and consistent wins.
How far ahead should I plan?
A quarter in detail, a year in outline.
