Schedule

Marketing Content works in three rhythms: on request when you start a post, on a steady check every 30 minutes that publishes approved posts, and, only if your install turns it on, a daily generator that drafts on its own.

When You Start a Post

When you choose Generate Post in the app, or when the Strategist or Meeting to Content starts a post, the pipeline runs: keyword research, SEO brief, outline, draft, score with up to two automatic fix passes, image brief, and a template featured image attached to the post when it has none. It does not pause for you between the outline and the draft. If the outline or the draft cannot be produced, the run stops there and the post stays unfinished; the other steps are skipped quietly when they fail.

A post started from a Strategist dispatch begins as a starting record only. You generate it from the post page.

Publishing Slots

When you approve a post it is given the next publishing slot:

• At least seven days after the brand's latest scheduled or published post, and at least ten minutes from now.
• On a weekday between 9:00 and 11:00 in the morning Pacific Standard Time. The window uses a fixed offset and does not shift for daylight saving. A time that falls outside it moves to the next window at 9:30.
• No more than 28 days out. If the queue is longer, the slot is capped at 28 days and no message tells you.

Every 30 minutes a scheduler publishes the posts whose time has arrived. Publishing is live: the post goes to the brand's blog with no further click. These rules are fixed. The Marketing Content settings screen in the Operator Console sets only the default draft length, so there is no per-brand control over spacing or the publishing window.

Default Draft Length

In the Operator Console, under Marketing, open Marketing Agent Configs and choose Marketing Content. Target Word Count is the length the writer aims for when you do not set one on the New Post form. The shipped default is 1,200 words.

The Optional Daily Generator

A generator can fill your review queue without a request. It is off unless your install turns it on, and there is no screen in the app for the switch; contact support@agenteous.com if you want it enabled.

When it is on, it checks once a day and creates at most one draft per check:

• It rotates through your content pillars, picking the next topic.
• It stops for the day after two drafts, and it skips a check when eight or more posts are already waiting for review.
• It only drafts. The draft lands in review like any other, and nothing is approved or published for you.

Content Planning

The pillars and the content queue that guide topics are managed in the app: see Pillars and Content Queue and Networks.

After Publishing

Marketing Content does nothing further on its own once a post is live. Open the post and choose Distribute to Other Platforms to adapt it for platforms your brand has enabled. Each adapted copy waits for your review. Once you approve a copy with a scheduled time, it is published automatically when that time arrives, and your own site stays the original. Copies are tracked on Syndications.
