How do I find trending content ideas in my niche every week?

WebRun searches BuzzSumo every Monday across your tracked topics and competitor domains for the best performing content from the past week, posts the trending report to Microsoft Teams, and logs a Trello card for each standout piece. It never writes or publishes content itself, only building a ready idea backlog for your team.

  • A fresh content idea backlog builds every Monday without manual research
  • Teams gets a trending report instead of a raw BuzzSumo export
  • Ideas are grounded in what is actually performing, not guesswork

Questions, answered

Does it write or publish content for me?

No. It only researches and logs ideas as Trello cards. Writing and publishing content is still your team's work.

Which topics and competitors does it track?

Whatever topics and competitor domains you set up in BuzzSumo. It searches those each week rather than guessing at your niche.

How does it choose what counts as a standout piece?

It ranks results by engagement over the past 7 days and logs the top performers, so the ideas reflect what is actually working right now.

Put this on autopilot.
