Content Calendar for Web Agencies + Free Download

A few days ago, I almost missed publishing a social media post about the 4th of May. If you’re a sci-fi fan, you know what I’m talking about. 

Good thing my boss reminded me about it since it’s a well know holiday for our audience in the US and the UK.

It was a shame for me to forget because I also deal with social media content. Even if you’re the expert or go-to person for a task, there are times you will drop the ball especially if you’re overwhelmed with bigger projects.

One way to avoid this is to plan for your content months before through a content calendar.

A content calendar is an essential tool for any marketing team, particularly when dealing with a large number of clients. 

Content calendars can help you in organizing your content so that you can keep track of what you’ve written and who you also need to write to.

This article will look at why you need a content calendar, how to create one and when to use it.

Why do you need a content calendar?

Content is king when it comes to content marketing and generating inbound leads. For a web agency that needs to create content to promote its services, this can be uncomfortable.

Content creation can be time-consuming, especially for someone or a team who is skilled in web development, web programming, and other technical aspects in addition to writing or graphic design. 

You may make it a lot easier by planning and scheduling your content.
