3 Things Your PEO Should Do Now to Have a Goal-Crushing Q4

For PEOs, Q4 isn’t just another quarter—it’s the Super Bowl of selling. Between October and December, decision-makers are finalizing budgets, seeking efficiency, and making vendor changes before the new year kicks off. But here’s the catch: if you want to influence those decisions, your marketing strategy needs to be in motion now.

Spring and summer are your ramp-up seasons. Wait until September, and you're already too late. So what can your PEO do right now to build pipeline, gain traction, and dominate Q4?

1. Review, Refresh, and Reset Your Website

Your Buyer is in Control—Your Website Needs to Reflect That

Your website is more important than ever because your buyer is more in control of their journey than ever before.

According to the 2024 Buyer Experience Report by 6sense , B2B buyers now complete nearly 70% of their purchasing journey before ever talking to a salesperson. That means your prospects are doing a lot of self-guided research—and they’re forming strong opinions long before they land in your CRM.

They’re looking for answers, clarity, and confidence in the resources they find online. The question is:

Are they finding you—or your competitors?

Here’s a challenge: open your website and ask yourself:

• Can I instantly tell what this business does?
• Is the call-to-action obvious and compelling?
• Does it look modern, clean, and easy to navigate?

If you hesitate on any of these, it might be time for a refresh.

Your website is your digital storefront. And in B2B, it’s often the first real touchpoint with a prospect. You have 3 seconds to make an impact. If your homepage doesn’t grab attention and guide users, you're losing opportunities.

First Impressions That Convert

• Clear headline: Who you are + what you do—front and center.
• Fast-loading visuals: Anything over 3 seconds? You’re bleeding conversions.
• One compelling CTA: Too many choices = no action taken.

Your homepage isn’t a scavenger hunt. It should immediately guide visitors toward the next step—whether that’s scheduling a consultation, downloading a guide, or watching a demo.

SEO + Web Design = Visibility + Engagement

Web design and SEO go hand in hand. Here's how to win at both:

• Site speed: Compress images, minify code, and use a CDN to get faster load times. Google—and your prospects—will thank you.
• Mobile-friendly UX: With mobile-first indexing, a bad mobile experience means lower rankings.
• Content structure: Use clean URLs, proper heading tags, and alt text so search engines can easily index your site.
• Internal linking: Help users explore relevant content and increase page authority.

Your website should do more than look good—it should work hard for you.

2. Audit Your Content Library and Fill the Gaps

A strong Q4 starts with trust—and trust is built through helpful, relevant content.

Take inventory of your existing resources. What’s working? What’s outdated? What’s missing?

Focus on creating content that:

• Educates your prospects: White papers, explainer videos, and “How a PEO Helps” guides.
• Answers real objections: Case studies, testimonials, or blog posts tackling common questions.
• Supports the buyer journey: Top-of-funnel blog articles, mid-funnel comparison guides, bottom-of-funnel ROI calculators.

Now is the time to fill content gaps so your nurture campaigns are ready to run when it matters most. When Q4 hits, your content needs to be doing the selling for you.

3. Optimize Your CRM and Marketing Automation Tools

Your tech stack is only as powerful as the data and strategy behind it. Spring is the perfect time to clean house and sharpen your marketing automation systems.

Start with the basics:

• Data hygiene: Deduplicate records, fix formatting issues, and remove inactive leads.
• List segmentation: Group contacts by industry, company size, or stage in the funnel to personalize your outreach.
• Lead scoring: Ensure your system identifies high-intent leads and routes them to sales in real time.
• Automated workflows: Map out lead nurture sequences, re-engagement campaigns, and sales alerts.
• Email templates & sequences: Build Q4-ready campaigns now, not in the middle of October.

A dialed-in CRM gives your team better visibility and enables true marketing-sales alignment when it counts.

Don’t Wait for the Fall Rush

Most PEOs make the mistake of ramping up marketing when it’s already too late. The real winners? They plan now.

• A high-impact website.
• A smart content strategy.
• A powerful CRM + automation setup.

These are your spring and summer priorities if you want to crush Q4.
