A Content Inventory Needs Owners and Review Dates

Give each page a person and a reason to be reviewed.

The practical starting point

A page can remain online long after its information stops being useful. A simple inventory helps: address, purpose, owner, last substantive review and next review trigger. For example, a service-area page should be checked when the business changes the places it covers.

A workable next step

Separate a technical edit date from a factual review date. Fixing spacing does not mean opening hours were checked. Record missing ownership rather than assigning an imaginary reviewer. Start with the pages that visitors rely on to make decisions, then expand the inventory. Keep the table somewhere the actual maintainers can find and update.

Keep in your notes

  • Name the responsible person.
  • Separate layout edits from factual reviews.
  • Use meaningful review triggers.
