Capabilities

  • HubSpot 

    To help you grow your small business, CMS Hub offers a useful SEO tool that provides customized optimization suggestions for each web page and blog post, powered by Google Search Console.

    Wix

    You can modify meta descriptions and other SEO features, but you don't receive intelligent recommendations upon setup. Wix can integrate with Google Search Console and Google Business Profile.

  • HubSpot 

    HubSpot is committed to ensuring security, which is why it has an around-the-clock threat and security monitoring team and activity logging. With the custom CDN, SSL encryption, and SOC Type 2 certification, you can feel confident in your data's protection.

    Wix

    Wix also has a dedicated security team that monitors for suspicious network activity and SSL certificates. However, there have been a few bugs in the past that have left millions of users vulnerable.

  • HubSpot

    When you’re leveraging your website as a conversion engine, every detail counts. With CMS Hub, you can test up to five different versions of a webpage, and HubSpot will strategically display the best-performing version using machine learning.

    Due to a much simpler backend, there are no automatic testing features included with Wix. 

  • HubSpot 

    The CMS Hub connects with HubSpot Marketing CRM for advanced marketing features, including chatbots, forms, and contact management. With its integrated contact attribution reporting, you can quickly dive into which pages and content drive the most qualified leads to your sales team.
