A free Google Sheets content calendar template to plan, schedule, and track your blog and social content in one place. Copy it and start planning in minutes.
What's inside

Planning content in scattered notes and half-remembered ideas is how good content plans fall apart. This Google Sheets content calendar brings everything into one place: what you’re publishing, when, on which platform, and what stage each piece is at.
It’s built around the way content actually gets made — ideas become drafts, drafts get scheduled, scheduled posts go live — with a status column that lets you see your whole pipeline at a glance. Dropdown menus for platform, format, and status keep everything consistent, so you can filter and sort your calendar in a click.
To fill your calendar faster, pair it with our social media post generator prompt, and if you want to automate publishing once you’ve planned, see our social media automation recipe.
