Content Planning
Content Planning maps out what content you'll create, when you'll publish it, and how it fits your SEO goals. This Content Strategy component helps you organize resources and align content with User Intent Matching to meet what searchers actually want.
You start by doing Keyword Research to find topics your audience searches for. Next, you identify Content Gaps where competitors rank but you don't, and plan how Topic Clusters and Pillar Pages will work together. Then you build an Editorial Calendar that schedules when each piece goes live and who creates it.
Good planning ensures your content supports Topical Relevance by covering subjects in depth rather than random topics. It guides Content Updates by showing which old content needs refreshing to stay current. Planning also connects to Content Audits that review what already exists so you don't duplicate efforts or miss chances to improve Content Depth.
