  • 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!

    What makes HubSpot different?
    Content remix image

    Drive traffic

    WordPress is for building websites. HubSpot, on the other hand, helps you grow your business. Generate blogs, landing pages, case studies, and podcasts with our AI content agent. Then, multiply your reach using content remix to adapt your content for other channels and formats. Finally, use built-in tools like forms, meeting scheduler, and site chat to convert your traffic to leads.

    SEO analytics

    Optimize content

    With WordPress, your website is disconnected from your business. With HubSpot, your front door is connected to your front office. By integrating your website with your marketing, sales, and service tools, HubSpot enables CRM-powered content personalization and unified business reporting. Plus, you get built-in web traffic analytics, A/B/N testing, and SEO optimization - all not included with WordPress.

    Simplify operations

    WordPress can be downloaded for free, but hosting, security, and maintenance are not included - and plugins are required for advanced content management like memberships and gated content. With HubSpot, you don't need to worry about hosting, security, maintenance, or plugins. Our plans take care of it all, including advanced content management that can be leveraged by technical and non-technical users alike.
