November

Pick an idea, then pick a day.

See the whole month at a glance.

Every post, Reel and email sits on one calendar, so you can see what's coming and what's missing before the week gets busy.

The Marketing Calendar month view, with posts, emails and a Black Friday Sale label across three days
  • Drag ideas onto days

    Ideas without a date wait in the idea tray until you're ready for them. Move them around as plans change.

  • Mark sales and holidays

    Add date labels for sales, events and holidays, so your posts line up with what's happening in your business.

  • One channel at a time

    Filter to just Instagram, Facebook or email when you want to focus.

Everything you need to post is already written.

Each idea holds its caption, two hook options to test, and a shot list for Reels. When it's time to post, open it and copy the caption.

  • Hooks A and B

    Write two opening lines and see which one your audience stops for.

  • Shot lists for Reels

    Know exactly what to film before you pick up your phone.

  • Posted check-offs

    Tick posts off as they go live and see your month's tally by content type.

  • Ask AI for help

    Stuck on a caption? One tap sends the idea to your own Claude or ChatGPT, with your business details included.

An idea card with an Open reference link to an Instagram Reel and a note: Why I saved it: Loved the fast mirror cuts and the bold on-screen text. Copy that pacing, about 1 second per outfit.

Save the inspiration, and why you loved it.

See a Reel or post that stops your scroll? Paste the link onto an idea and jot down what caught your eye. When it's time to create, you'll remember exactly what you were going for.

  • Link to anything

    Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, a competitor's post, a blog. One tap opens it again.

  • Note the why

    "The hook in the first second." "Those colors." "1 second per outfit." Future you will thank you.

  • Your AI gets it too

    Ask AI includes your inspiration note, so the captions and shot lists it suggests match the vibe you saved.

Seila Christensen, smiling in the Arizona desert

Hi, I'm Seila.

I'm a marketing consultant in Utah County, and I've been on both sides of this. For three years I ran my own handmade hair bow shop, writing every post and email myself in between orders.

Since then I've managed marketing for a regenerative beef brand and run social media for a restaurant, including email, SMS and a customer loyalty program.

The thing that made the biggest difference every time wasn't a fancy tool. It was sitting down once a month and planning everything in one place. I built Surge Marketing Calendar so you can do the same, without a marketing team.

“Plan when you’re inspired, not when you’re desperate.”

Why not just use another app or template?

You've probably tried both. Here's how Surge compares to the monthly scheduler apps and the DIY templates most small businesses end up with.

Questions

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay $50 once and keep using it.

What if it's not for me?

You have 7 days to try it. If it doesn't fit how you work, email surgeassisting@gmail.com within 7 days of buying and you'll get a full refund. No forms to fill out and no hoops.

Does it post to Instagram for me?

No. It's where you plan your posts and keep everything you need to publish them. When it's time to post, open the idea, copy the caption and post it yourself.

Does it use AI?

Yes, with the AI you already use. Each idea has Ask AI buttons that open your own Claude or ChatGPT with a ready-made prompt for captions, hooks, Reel shot lists or a week of post ideas. A free account with either works. There's no extra AI fee from us.

What do I need to use it?

Just a web browser on your phone or computer: iPhone, Android, Mac or Windows. On your phone you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.

How do I get in after I buy?

You'll get an email with your sign-in link. Create your account with the same email you used at checkout, and your calendar is ready.

Is my plan private?

Yes. Your calendar is saved to your own account and only you can see it.

I have another question.

Email surgeassisting@gmail.com and you'll get a reply from a real person.
