Quarterly Website Reviews: A CMO’s Shortcut to Faster Results

You’re racing to hit quarterly targets, but the website doesn’t always cooperate. Maybe the page you need is outdated. The data’s murky. The messaging doesn’t match the campaign. So you pivot, hack a workaround, and move on.

Over time, this adds up. The site drifts from your priorities. Execution slows. And you spend more energy fixing problems than pushing growth forward.

A quarterly website review is your reset button. It’s how marketing leaders stay one step ahead and bring speed, clarity, and control back to the digital experience.

Why Every Website Needs a Quarterly Review

Unlike a campaign or a rebrand, your website doesn’t have a finish line. It evolves alongside your business. And that evolution needs structure.

When you skip regular check-ins, the site becomes:

• Out of sync with sales goals
• Bloated with outdated content or underperforming pages
• Slower due to missed updates or technical debt
• Less effective at lead generation and conversion

Quarterly reviews keep your site aligned with what the business needs right now. Not last year. Not next year. Right now.

What to Cover in a Quarterly Website Review

Every review should provide a clear, prioritized snapshot of what’s working, what’s broken, and what needs to shift.

Use this checklist to guide the process:

1. Strategic Alignment

• Does the homepage reflect current positioning and priorities?
• Are key offers, campaigns, or events visible and supported?
• Is your messaging still relevant to your top audiences?

2. Campaign Readiness

• Are landing pages built and optimized for current or upcoming campaigns?
• Are forms functioning and properly tracked?
• Do CTAs align with sales motions and funnel stage?

3. Performance Metrics

• What are your top entry and exit pages?
• Where are users dropping off in key journeys?
• Are there technical issues hurting conversion rate optimization?

4. Technical Health

• Are all plugins, themes, and CMS versions up to date?
• How’s page speed on mobile and desktop?
• Are there broken links, 404s, or SEO metadata gaps?

5. Accessibility and Compliance

• Is your site still WCAG-compliant?
• Has anything changed that could put the site at risk?

6. Content Opportunities

• What pages could be enhanced with testimonials, video, or product clarity?
• Are there new proof points or case studies to highlight?
• Where can you improve UX or simplify the journey?

Don’t try to fix everything at once. The review is about focus. Surface the right next steps for this quarter and then execute.

Who Should Be Involved?

Quarterly reviews are most effective when they include cross-functional input. This builds alignment and increases buy-in across the org.

Involve these roles:

• Marketing leadership to connect site priorities to business goals
• Sales or RevOps to provide field feedback and journey insights
• Web/UX team to assess what’s technically possible and scoped
• Your agency partner to lead analysis and recommend solutions

This shared visibility helps everyone see the website not as a cost center, but as a strategic, measurable tool.
