How to choose the topic of your next content in 3 steps
Caso de uso 📝
An online computer shop manages both its evergreen and realtime content strategy (to cover industry news and trends) with Keytrends. Although it tends to calendar the ideas it finds, it often chooses a topic and creates content on the spot, especially when it is a real-time trend. He does this from 3 specific Keytrends locations.
Option 1. Select a real-time trend from Realtime Trends and cover it as soon as possible
Trends are topics that are growing exponentially at any given time, so it is essential to spot them, create the content and publish as soon as possible because there will be little competition.
These are the ones that the firm prefers not to schedule, and write them on the spot. To do this, there is a button to create content, which leads to the AI Content Assistant, in the Growing keywords panel of the Realtime Trends section.
From this panel you can see those keywords or user queries that are growing almost in real time (up to the last hour), and check the exact growth to decide which to attack.

Option 2. Choose a topic with good growth and schedule or create evergreen content
These types of content ideas can be part of a planned evergreen strategy, because they are long-term growth opportunities that always generate traffic. You can find them in the Trends dashboard:
In it, the content ideas are sorted by growth percentage, and you will have a different list for each time period configured in your topics. In other words, in 7 days you will only see the topics that you have chosen to monitor in that period.
Other data you can use as a guide are the total average volume, and the monthly volume throughout the year (so you can identify if you are in the best moment to cover that keyword or not).

Option 3. Choose one of the planned themes in Your Content
This is where all content ideas, whether Realtime or Opportunities, for which you have started a task are stored. It can be the brief, or a piece of content.
EXTRA: enter your own theme from the AI Content Assistant
You can also insert a topic directly in the AI Content Assistant. For example, to create corporate content, an email or any other text not based on a keyword or trend 👇
