AI Content Plans
Generate a multi-week editorial calendar in one click — AI proposes titles and keywords, schedules them across the month, and can publish them on autopilot.
An AI Content Plan turns a single click into a ready-to-run editorial calendar. Instead of generating one title at a time, RankTurn proposes a full batch of article ideas — each with a title, a target keyword, and a scheduled publish date — spread across roughly the next month (about 28–30 days). The plan also registers any brand-new keywords it suggests, orders the calendar so your best opportunities go out first, and (optionally) generates and publishes everything for you automatically.
Content Plans live under Articles → AI Content Plans. This is a paid feature: an active subscription (or trial) is required to create one.
Creating a Plan
Open the Create Content Plan dialog and fill in the following fields:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Start Date | The calendar date the first article is scheduled for. Defaults to tomorrow; past dates are disabled. |
| Post Time | The time of day each article is scheduled (e.g. 09:00). Interpreted as wall-clock time in your workspace timezone. |
| Auto-Publish | When on, generated articles are published to your selected platforms automatically rather than waiting for manual review. |
| Auto-Continue | When on, a fresh plan is queued automatically as this one finishes, creating a rolling calendar (see below). |
| Destinations | Shown only when Auto-Publish is on. Pick which connected platforms each article publishes to. Pre-filled from your account-level default destinations. |
The post time is applied per article using your workspace timezone, so a 09:00 post time means 9 AM local — no manual UTC math. To change the zone, see Language, Timezone & Currency.
Advanced: custom plan prompt
Expand Advanced Settings to add a custom prompt for this plan only. Use it to steer the batch — for example, focusing on a sub-topic, a seasonal angle, or a specific audience. This instruction is merged with your account-wide custom prompt (from Generation Settings) when the AI proposes titles, so the plan can refine your defaults without overwriting them.
When you submit, RankTurn creates the plan and the dialog closes while it works in the background. To pick its ideas, it draws on your Business Profile, looks at your existing keywords and recent article titles (so it doesn't repeat itself), and scans the top competitor titles on Google and recent trending news for fresh angles before proposing the batch.
Cadence by Plan
How many articles a plan contains, and how far apart they publish, is decided by your subscription plan:
| Plan | Articles per plan | Publishing cadence | Span |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | 30 | Daily (every day) | ~30 days |
| Standard | 15 | Every 2 days | ~30 days |
| Text | 15 | Every 2 days | ~30 days |
On Pro, the first article lands on your start date and subsequent articles follow day by day. On Standard and Text, articles publish every other day. Either way, a plan spans roughly a month of calendar. The cadence is fixed by your plan and not adjustable per plan. For the full per-plan breakdown, see Plan Details.
Reviewing & Rejecting Suggestions
Once the plan finishes, its proposed articles appear in your Articles list, each scheduled on its calendar slot. The titles and keywords are suggestions — you stay in control:
- Open any suggested article to edit its title or keyword before it's generated.
- Reject suggestions you don't want. Rejected articles are set aside (not generated) and are cleaned up the next time you regenerate or cancel the plan.
- Approve the rest simply by leaving them in place — they generate and (if Auto-Publish is on) publish on schedule.
Reviewing first is the recommended workflow: skim the batch, drop the weak ideas, then let the strong ones run.
Regenerating Suggestions
If a plan's ideas aren't quite right, you can regenerate them. There are two modes:
- Fill gaps — Removes only the rejected suggestions and asks the AI for fresh ideas to replace them, leaving your approved, not-yet-generated articles untouched. Use this to top up the plan after pruning a few titles.
- Redo all — Removes all suggestions that haven't been generated yet (both pending and rejected) and regenerates the whole batch from scratch. Articles that have already been generated are left alone.
In both cases RankTurn proposes a new batch of titles, reusing the same start date, post time, timezone, destinations, and custom prompt. Regenerating uses up title credits the same way the initial run does (see below).
Auto-Publish & Auto-Continue (rolling plans)
Two switches turn a one-off plan into hands-off automation:
- Auto-Publish generates each scheduled article and publishes it to your selected destinations automatically, with no manual review step. Without it, articles are generated and left ready for you to review and publish. See Automatic Publishing for how scheduled publishing works.
- Auto-Continue schedules the next plan to start on the day the current plan's last article lands, so a new month of content is queued just as the old one wraps up — a continuously rolling editorial calendar. You can toggle Auto-Continue on or off for an active plan at any time (it can't be changed once a plan is cancelled or completed).
You can enable Auto-Publish without Auto-Continue (automate this month only), or Auto-Continue without Auto-Publish (keep generating fresh batches but review each one yourself).
Scheduling & Keyword Ordering
RankTurn doesn't just publish the ideas in the order the AI proposed them. It first adds any brand-new keywords the plan suggests to your keyword list (looking up their search volume and difficulty where available), then reorders the calendar so your best opportunities go out first.
Keywords that are both popular (high search volume) and easy to rank for take the earliest slots, while harder or less-searched ones come later. Keywords with no available data keep their original order and trail the rest — and if no data is available at all, articles simply publish in the order the AI proposed. Each article is then placed on its calendar slot based on your start date, post time, and the plan's cadence.
These new keywords appear in your Keywords list (marked as AI-suggested) and count toward your monthly keyword allowance — see Keyword Metrics, Intent & Quotas.
Quota Use
Creating a plan consumes your monthly title-suggestion quota — one credit per article in the plan. Before generating, RankTurn checks that you have enough quota for the whole batch; if you don't, the plan fails rather than generating a partial batch.
Title quota is set by your plan:
| Plan | Title suggestions / month |
|---|---|
| Pro | 200 |
| Standard | 100 |
| Text | 100 |
| Trial | 30 |
If a plan fails for any reason, the title credits it reserved are returned automatically, so a failed plan doesn't burn your allowance. New keywords the plan adds count toward your keyword allowance where possible, but running short on keyword allowance never causes an otherwise-complete plan to fail. For the full picture, see Usage Quotas.
Cancelling a Plan
You can cancel a plan while it's still generating titles or active. Cancelling:
- Stops the plan and disables Auto-Continue (no follow-up plan will be queued).
- Deletes any rejected suggestions.
- Resets not-yet-generated suggestions back to plain drafts (unscheduled, auto-publish off, detached from the plan) so you don't lose the ideas.
- Resets already-generated-but-scheduled articles back to drafts too, keeping their content but clearing the schedule.
Cancelling never deletes generated content — only the schedule and the plan link are removed, leaving everything in your Articles list as editable drafts. Plans that have already finished or been cancelled can't be cancelled again.
