Blog Post Planner
The Blog Post Planner generates a month-by-month content calendar for the client using AI. You set the pace (posts per month), duration, language, and optional topic focus — Minorank plans the entire content calendar and gives you ready-to-use titles, target keywords, and meta descriptions for every post.
Generating a content calendar
- In the client sidebar, go to Blog Planner.
- Click Generate calendar.
- Configure the plan:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Posts per month | How many blog posts to plan per month (1–12) |
| Duration | How many months to plan ahead (1–12 months) |
| Start month | The month the plan begins |
| Language | Language to write titles and meta descriptions in (Greek or English) |
| Focus topics | Optional — paste keywords or topics to focus the plan on specific themes |
- Click Generate.
Generation takes 15–30 seconds. The calendar appears month by month below.
Reading the calendar
For each planned post, the calendar shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Month | The month this post is planned for |
| Type | Content type — Guide, Listicle, How-to, Comparison, Case Study, etc. |
| Target keyword | Primary keyword to optimise for |
| Post title | Suggested blog post title |
| Meta title | Optimised meta title (may differ slightly from the post title) |
| Meta description | 155-character meta description |
| Status | Draft / Published — updated automatically after publishing |
| Write | Button to launch the AI Writer pre-filled with this post's details |
Publishing a planned post
Click Write on any planned post to open the AI Article Writer with the topic, keyword, title, and meta description pre-filled. Review and adjust the settings, then generate the article.
Once the article is published to WordPress, the Blog Planner entry updates its status to Published automatically.
Tracking published content
The bottom of the page shows the Published content history — a searchable table of all articles published via the AI Writer for this client:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | The content type (guide, how-to, etc.) |
| Title | Post title as published in WordPress |
| Keyword | Target keyword |
| Date | Published date |
| Status | Live / Draft |
Use the search field to find specific posts, and the type filter to view only guides, listicles, etc.
Calendar vs ad-hoc articles
The Blog Planner is designed for systematic content production — a planned, consistent publishing schedule. You can also generate ad-hoc articles directly via the AI Article Writer without going through the Blog Planner. Both approaches use the same article generation engine.
:::tip Combine with keyword data Before generating the calendar, review the Keyword gap analysis and the Page 2 keywords in Enhanced Analysis. Using these as focus topics ensures the content plan targets real traffic opportunities rather than generic topics. :::
Regenerating the calendar
If the generated calendar doesn't fit the client's focus, click Regenerate with updated focus topics or settings. Previously published posts are preserved even if the calendar is regenerated.
