How often should I publish new content for demand generation?

Q: Is more frequent publishing always better?

Only if quality holds and incremental lift is proven. Prioritize consistency and outcomes—meetings, SQLs, opps—over raw volume.

Q: How do we handle limited resources?

Use a Minimum Viable Cadence: weekly SEO, monthly webinar, quarterly anchor. Repurpose anchors into derivative assets to maintain rhythm.

Q: What’s the best day/time to publish?

Let your audience and data decide. Optimize based on when engagement converts to meetings and SQLs in HubSpot, not generic benchmarks.

Q: Should we pause during holidays or events?

Maintain baseline cadence but adapt topics and formats. Schedule refreshes and recaps if the team is out of office.

Q: Do content refreshes count as “new”?

Yes. Refreshing and expanding strong URLs often beats net-new content. Track pre/post performance and pipeline influence.

For B2B demand gen, aim for a minimum viable cadence (MVC): 1 SEO article per week, 1 webinar or live demo per month, and 1 anchor asset per quarter (report, guide, toolkit). Support with ongoing distribution (email, social, partner, paid) and measure impact using HubSpot Campaigns, lifecycle progression, and pipeline influence. Increase frequency only when you can maintain quality and prove incremental lift in meetings, SQLs, opps, and revenue.

Cadence by Channel (Recommended Baseline)

Blog/SEO: 1–2 posts weekly targeting bottom/mid-funnel keywords; refresh 2 legacy posts per month.

Webinars/Events: 1 per month; alternate formats (customer story, product deep-dive, expert panel).

Anchor Assets: 1 per quarter (benchmark study, playbook, ROI tool) with derivative content (blogs, clips, one-pagers).

Email: 1 newsletter every 2–4 weeks plus targeted nurtures aligned to buyer stage and persona.

Social/Community: 3–5 posts per week across priority channels; prioritize thought leadership and proof (wins, case stats).

Paid Amplification: Always-on retargeting of high-intent pages; burst campaigns around anchors and events.

Sales Enablement: 1 net-new or refreshed asset monthly (case study, one-pager, deck module) mapped to buying roles.

Make Cadence Measurable in HubSpot

1) Plan the rhythm. Use a 13-week calendar: schedule weekly SEO posts, a monthly event, and a quarterly anchor. Tie every asset to HubSpot Campaigns with consistent UTMs and stage tagging (Awareness/Consideration/Decision).

2) Define capacity & quality bars. Set clear acceptance criteria (problem-solution clarity, unique POV, proof, CTA). If capacity dips, hold frequency steady by repurposing (clips, carousels, email snippets) rather than shipping thin content.

3) Measure by outcomes, not output. Dashboards should show meeting rate, SQL rate, and opp creation per asset and per Campaign, plus velocity from consumption to meeting. Promote the formats that move buyers forward.

4) Iterate the mix monthly. Identify top-quartile assets (by opps influenced) and double down; sunset bottom-quartile or rewrite. Use content refreshes to sustain SEO while creating fewer, better net-new pieces.

90-Day Publishing Cadence Sprint (HubSpot)

Weeks 1–2: Build the 13-week calendar. Assign topics to keywords and stages. Set CTAs and distribution plan per asset.
Weeks 3–6: Publish weekly SEO; launch first monthly webinar; produce anchor outline and research. Stand up Campaigns and UTMs.
Weeks 7–10: Release anchor asset + 6 derivatives (3 blogs, 2 email sequences, 1 social pack). Run always-on retargeting.
Weeks 11–13: Review dashboards: meetings/SQLs/opps by asset & source. Refresh 2 posts. Adjust next quarter’s cadence and topics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is more frequent publishing always better?

Only if quality holds and incremental lift is proven. Aim for consistency first; scale once assets reliably drive meetings, SQLs, and opps.

How do we handle limited resources?

Adopt the MVC: weekly SEO + monthly webinar + quarterly anchor. Repurpose anchors into posts, clips, and enablement instead of creating net-new every time.

What’s the best day/time to publish?

Your audience’s calendar matters more than global “best times.” Use HubSpot analytics to identify when engagement leads to meetings and SQLs, not just clicks.

Should we pause during holidays or events?

Keep baseline cadence but shift topics and formats (recaps, predictions, light lifts). Queue refreshes if your team is OOO.

Do content refreshes count as “new”?

Yes—refreshing high-potential posts often outperforms net-new. Track refreshed assets separately and compare opp influence pre/post.
