A structured weekly schedule with optimal posting times per platform, content type rotation, and frequency tracking to keep your social media consistent.
A 7-day grid with rows for each platform you're active on. Each cell includes the posting time, content type, and content pillar. Color-code by pillar to quickly spot if your mix is balanced across the week.
Fields
Track how many posts you've published per platform per week against your target frequency. This ensures you're hitting your goals and can spot when a platform is being neglected.
Fields
Map which content formats you're using each day to maintain variety. Avoid posting the same format two days in a row — rotate between Reels, carousels, single images, text posts, and Stories.
Fields
Assign different hashtag sets to different days of the week. Rotating hashtags prevents Instagram from flagging repetitive use and exposes your content to different audiences.
Fields
Choose 2-3 primary platforms and decide how many posts per week each one gets. Start conservatively — you can always increase later.
Use the Best Time to Post tool to find optimal windows for each platform. Fill in the weekly grid with your scheduled times.
Rotate through your content pillars and formats so each day has variety. Avoid back-to-back promotional content.
