Content Calendar Checklist
A checklist for building a content calendar that is clear, reviewable, and ready to schedule.
Confirm the basics
Every scheduled post should have a platform, date, time, caption, creative asset, link, owner, and status. Missing basics create last-minute publishing problems.
Balance the calendar
Look for too many promotional posts, repeated topics, or long gaps on important channels. A balanced calendar supports consistency without making every post feel the same.
Use statuses
Draft, review, approved, scheduled, and published statuses make it easier to see what needs attention. This is especially useful when more than one person touches the content.
