  • We had built a Frankenstein monster in WordPress. Changing one small item on a page resulted in unintended changes on five other random pages. Our dev team would constantly have to drop what they were doing and fix our website, and managing plugins was a constant worry of ours... The process of migrating over to HubSpot was painless. Our web development agency took some direction from us, and was able to build exactly what we were looking for on the backend.

  • To have a sales-ready site you need to take into account the different stages of the buyer’s journey throughout the site. What we’ve been able to do with the HubSpot CMS Hub [now Content Hub] is not only to make your brand look great online but also to serve up relevant content that a person wants to engage with.

  • The boost to organic traffic has been remarkable. When I first started, apart from our brand name, we had no keywords ranking in the top three Google results and less than five in the top ten. Now, we have fourteen keywords in the top ten, and three of those are in the top three!

Generate traffic

WordPress is great for building websites, but HubSpot helps you grow your business. Generate websites, blogs, and landing pages using AI. Repurpose content for other channels with content remix. Start winning AI-powered search results using AEO. And expand your audience through ads and social. That's not just content management. That's a growth engine.

Tie content to revenue

With WordPress, your website and your business operate in separate worlds. HubSpot connects your website directly to your marketing, sales, and service tools, so you can make the most of every interaction. CRM-powered personalization serves the right content to the right visitor. A/B/N testing optimizes every page. Reporting connects every asset back to revenue. And Breeze customer agent gives every visitor the right answer, right when they need it. One connected system. One unified experience.

Simplify maintenance

WordPress is free. The infrastructure and plugins you need to actually run it? Those aren't — and the complexity compounds as fast as the cost. Hosting, security, 24/7 maintenance. HubSpot includes all of it. Manage consent. Stage content updates. Monetize with memberships. No plugins required. Your developers get the depth they need. Your marketers get the autonomy they want. HubSpot keeps your business moving forward.
