There are some significant benefits when it comes to going all-in with HubSpot. However, I’ll try and keep this article to SEO. There are some exceptions to this rule, though mainly when it comes to eCommerce.
HubSpot can be used if you are looking to sell a few small products or services but not ideal if you want to have the full functionality of an online shop.
There is a cool looking app in the marketplace called DepositFix that allows you to accept payments via a HubSpot form.

Great choice. I highly recommend this and it’s always best to get a team of HubSpot developers to help with this. Migrating websites to HubSpot requires a fair bit of analysis to ensure that you preserve any relevant traffic. Mostly if it has built up some authority and is generating a healthy amount of traffic, if this is the case, we would always suggest that we carry out a website discover to ensure that we set the new site up for success.
We often talk to companies that are looking for a fresh new start, but it is crucial to understand how the current website performs. I have seen traffic stats in the past where the sessions look like they have jumped off a cliff.
With this in mind, it’s essential to understand:
I guess the moral of the story is, you should always consider your existing content and how it supports your business before looking to create a shiny new website. The Google Search Console helps to uncover some great insights that support some critical thinking for the migration process.
We would always recommend recreating and improving content for the new website.
301 redirects go a long way for preserving traffic but is not a complete solution if it redirects to content that is not relevant to the respective search terms.
Our website discovery service is also a great place to get any SEO recommendations that will need consideration for the new website.
We are coming across more and more companies that are looking to move their website off of WordPress. There are quite a few benefits to doing this.
I have built quite a few websites on WordPress over the years. I like the ease of use and how it helps you to solve your website SEO challenges. I would always suggest using the WordPress SEO plugin (formally known as Yoast SEO), which has helped me take care of the on-page SEO requirements when crafting your content.
WordPress has its challenges due to the nature of it being open-source, making it susceptible to security challenges. So using WordPress requires that you host your website on an excellent hosting platform, set up a CDN and security plugins to mitigate against the risk of your website site getting hacked. The cost of this (if done right) can hike up your costs of running your WordPress site, making it more favourable to get your website hosted by HubSpot.
So you’re all in on HubSpot and you want to get the most out of your investment. HubSpot has a great set of tools to help you carry out a perfect SEO strategy. There are a few pre-checks that I suggest you do in HubSpot.
