How to find content ideas using Curate

Use Curate when you need a quick content idea for your social media calendar. The best workflow is to search for a topic, narrow the results, review one useful article, and then create a post from it.

Find a content idea

1. Open Curate from the left sidebar in SocialBu.

2. Use Search content... to search for a topic, keyword, brand, industry term, or audience interest. Enter at least 3 characters for search to work.

3. Use the source filter to narrow where results come from, such as public sources or team sources.

4. Select a time range: Last 7 days, Last 14 days, Last 30 days, or Last 3 months.

5. Click Apply to refresh the results.

Review the result

Look through the article title, source, publish date, image, and description. Open the original article before using it so you can check that it is accurate, relevant, and appropriate for your audience.

If the results are too broad, use a more specific keyword or source filter. If there are not enough results, try a broader keyword or a longer time range.

Create a post from the idea

1. Find a result that fits your content plan.

2. Click Create on that result.

3. Choose Quick post to open the composer, or use Generate drafts if you want AI draft options.

4. Review and edit the post before publishing or scheduling it.

Curate helps you find useful articles and inspiration, but you should always add your own context before sharing the final post.
