Content Distribution Plan
- Email: Weekly digest to subscriber list; dedicated sends for pillar content
- Social: 3-5 posts per article (launch day, quote graphic, thread, reshare at +7 days)
- Syndication: Republish on Medium/Dev.to with 7-day delay and canonical URL
- Partnerships: Guest post exchange with complementary SaaS blogs (1/month)
Next.js + MDX (Recommended for developer-focused products)
- Content lives in Git alongside code, reviewed via PR
- Full control over layout, components, and interactivity
- Statically generated for performance and SEO
- Use
contentlayerorvelitefor type-safe content management - Frontmatter schema: title, description, publishedAt, updatedAt, author, tags, image
Ghost (Recommended for marketing-led content)
- Built-in newsletter, membership, and SEO features
- Non-technical editors can publish independently
- API-first architecture integrates with existing stack
- Use Ghost as headless CMS with Next.js frontend for full control
WordPress (Avoid unless existing infrastructure demands it)
- Only justified if the team already has deep WordPress expertise
- Requires significant hardening for security and performance
- Plugin sprawl creates maintenance burden

-
Publishing without keyword research. Every article must target a validated keyword with measurable search volume. "We should write about X" is not a strategy; "X has 1,200 monthly searches at KD 35 and aligns with our product positioning" is.
-
Orphaned content. Articles with zero internal links pointing to them are invisible to both search engines and users. Every new article must be linked from at least 2 existing pages within 48 hours of publishing.
-
Changelog as afterthought. Shipping features without documenting them in the changelog trains users to stop checking. Every deploy with user-facing changes gets a changelog entry published the same day.
-
Content hoarding. Drafts that sit in review for >2 weeks lose relevance. If an article cannot move from draft to published within 10 business days, descope it or kill it.
-
Syndication without canonical URLs. Republishing on Medium or Dev.to without setting the canonical URL to your domain creates duplicate content penalties. Always set canonical.
-
Vanity metrics over conversion. Pageviews without conversion tracking are meaningless. Every content piece must have a measurable CTA (signup, demo request, email capture).
-
Ignoring content decay. Articles older than 6 months need a freshness audit. Update statistics, screenshots, and recommendations. Republish with updated date for SEO benefit.
-
Writing for search engines, not humans. Keyword-stuffed content that reads like a robot wrote it damages brand credibility. Primary keyword density should never exceed 2%.
Before any content piece moves to "Published" status, verify:
- Primary keyword appears in: title tag, H1, first 100 words, meta description, URL slug
- Meta description is 150-160 characters and includes a clear value proposition
- Article has 3+ internal links to existing content and is linked from 2+ existing pages
- All images have descriptive alt text containing relevant keywords where natural
- Article includes at least one clear CTA aligned to funnel stage
- Technical claims have been reviewed by a subject matter expert
- Content is original (not substantially overlapping with existing site content)
- OG image and Twitter card are configured and rendering correctly
- URL slug is clean, lowercase, hyphenated, and under 60 characters
- Article has been proofread for grammar, spelling, and brand voice consistency
- Mobile rendering has been verified (no broken layouts, images, or code blocks)
- Schema markup is present (Article, FAQ, or HowTo as appropriate)
- Distribution plan is documented with scheduled dates for each channel
- Performance tracking is configured (UTM parameters for distribution links, GA4 events for CTAs)
