Content Calendar template for Google Sheets

Google Sheets content calendar with dates, channels, titles and status labels

Overview

A content calendar works when everyone on the team can answer three questions at a glance: what is going out this week, who owns it, and what is blocked. This sheet uses one row per piece of content with columns for channel, owner, status and dates.

The example rows show the expected format and can be deleted. Statuses follow a simple flow from Idea to Published, which makes filtering for the week ahead straightforward.

Useful for

Planning a month of blog posts, newsletters and social posts

Seeing which channels are under-served

What's included

Columns for publish date, channel, title, format, owner, status, campaign, link and notes
