Content Dashboard
Don't publish because the calendar says so. Publish because the piece has a clear search/user need and enough evidence or original value to deserve a page.

Monthly Content Planner
This is your real publishing queue. BlinkMetrics can help you spot opportunities, but an opportunity only belongs here once you decide it is worth making. Add the topic, target date and the useful angle you can bring to it.
Plain English: Impressions = how often Google showed a page in search. Clicks = visits from those search results. Average position = the rough average ranking; positions around 4–20 can be useful improvement candidates, but context matters. Existing page = improve a relevant page you already have instead of creating a duplicate. A BlinkMetrics opportunity is only a candidate — it becomes a Planner item when you decide it is worth doing.
Pull current Google Search Console opportunities into Content Desk, then choose which ones are actually worth making.
SEO Brief
This is the blueprint before writing. The primary keyword is the main search topic. Search intent is what the person actually wants. Meta title and description are the search-result wording. Headings organise the page, internal links point to useful pages on your own site, and the search gap is what current results have not answered well enough.
Select planned content.
ChatGPT Draft
BlinkMetrics and Content Desk prepare the topic, voice and SEO context. Copy the prompt into your normal ChatGPT chat. Ask ChatGPT to return the exact CMS-DRAFT format below, then paste the whole response into the box. No Work task or paid AI API is required.
Human Quality Gate
Verify facts and links, make sure the page genuinely helps its intended reader, remove generic or invented material, and check that it still sounds like the site rather than an AI template. Approval here means you have actually checked it.
Backup & Restore
Content Desk saves signed-in workspace data to Neon and keeps a local browser copy as a fallback. Export a JSON backup whenever you want an extra portable copy of your sites, plans, briefs and drafts.
