Free Content Strategy Gap Check
Audit your content operation across five pillars — the AI report highlights gaps, prioritizes topics and recommends a publishing cadence.
Quick answer
Answer these prompts to audit your content operation across five pillars; the AI report flags the gaps, ranks topics and recommends a publishing cadence to close them. It scores process maturity, not the performance of individual pieces.
About this template
Content programs stall not from lack of ideas but from missing operational scaffolding. This self-check scores five pillars — strategy, production, distribution, measurement and governance — on an anchored 1–5 scale. The AI gap report sequences priority fixes, suggests a realistic publishing cadence and embeds a QR to an AI consultant trained on content strategy frameworks.
