SEO rewards consistency over bursts. A team that publishes a steady few strong pages a month, and keeps them up to date, usually ends up ahead of one that publishes thirty pages in a launch month and then stops.
The rhythm matters more than the number. Pick one you can keep.
Short on time? Comppound does this work for SaaS companies. AI-native, and a person reviews every page.
Have us do itSet the mix
Each month should include more than new pages. A typical mix for a SaaS team:
- New commercial pages from the page-types backlog
- New guides or tools for the current cluster
- Refreshes of pages that are slipping or out of date
- Fixes from the technical check and Search Console
Keep one backlog
Keep every idea in one list with its target search, page type, score and status. Plan the month from the top of the list. A single backlog stops the team chasing whatever was suggested most recently.
Comppound can do this for you
Want the content produced for you?
Comppound writes the briefs, drafts with AI, adds the proof only your team has and has a person review every page before it goes live. You approve; we publish and keep it current.
- Briefs built from real searches
- Human review on every page
- A steady publishing rhythm, every month
Give every stage an owner
Brief, draft, review, publish and promote are different jobs. Name who does each, even if one person does several. Pages stall in the gaps between unnamed owners.
Promote what you publish
A new page benefits from a push: links from related pages, a mention in your newsletter, a post from the founder, a note to customers it will help. Plan it as part of the rhythm, not an afterthought.

Tallyroom's monthly rhythm
Tallyroom settled on a modest rhythm the founder and one marketer could keep alongside everything else.
| Week | Work |
|---|---|
| 1 | Plan from the backlog; write briefs |
| 2 | Draft and review two new pages |
| 3 | Refresh one slipping page; fix Search Console issues |
| 4 | Publish, link and promote; monthly report |

Common mistakes
Bursts and silence
A launch-month push followed by nothing leaves a backlog of unmaintained pages.
All new, no refresh
Without refreshes, older pages decay while the team chases new ones.
Publishing without promoting
A page nobody links to or mentions takes longer to be found.
Rather not do it yourself?

Questions
As many strong pages as you can produce and maintain. For many small teams that is a handful, and that is fine.
A shared spreadsheet or task board works. The habit matters more than the tool.
