Does it hurt SEO to build landing pages in HubSpot instead of directly in Word Press?
-
Our team's website is built in Word Press, but we use Hub Spot as our CRM.
We are trying to determine if building landing pages in Hub Spot is going to hurt our SEO efforts and if it's better to build directly on Word Press.

Building landing pages in HubSpot can be a convenient option if you're already using it as your CRM. However, it's important to consider the potential impact on your SEO efforts. Here are some points to consider when deciding between building landing pages in HubSpot or WordPress:
Flexibility and customization: WordPress is a highly customizable platform that allows you to have full control over your website's design, structure, and SEO elements. With the wide range of plugins and themes available, you can optimize your landing pages for SEO and customize them to meet your specific needs. HubSpot's landing pages may have limitations in terms of design and customization compared to WordPress.
SEO optimization capabilities: WordPress offers numerous SEO plugins, such as Yoast SEO or All in One SEO Pack, which provide comprehensive optimization tools. These plugins allow you to optimize meta tags, headings, URLs, sitemaps, and more. While HubSpot does offer SEO features, it may not have the same level of flexibility and functionality as dedicated WordPress plugins.
Website performance: WordPress has a vast number of plugins and themes available, which can sometimes impact website performance if not optimized properly. On the other hand, HubSpot's landing pages are hosted on their platform, which ensures fast loading times and reliability. This could potentially benefit your SEO efforts as page speed is a ranking factor. However, with proper optimization, WordPress websites can also achieve excellent performance.
Integration with CRM: Since you're already using HubSpot as your CRM, building landing pages in HubSpot may offer tighter integration and data synchronization between your landing pages and CRM system. This can be advantageous for lead tracking, nurturing, and overall marketing automation efforts. However, if you're using WordPress, you can still integrate it with HubSpot or other CRM systems using plugins and API integrations.
Content management: WordPress is primarily known as a content management system (CMS), providing robust features for managing and organizing your website's content. If your landing pages require frequent content updates or if you have complex content management needs, WordPress might be a more suitable choice. HubSpot's content management capabilities are focused on marketing automation, so it may not be as robust for content-heavy websites

Building landing pages in HubSpot should not negatively impact your SEO efforts. In fact, HubSpot's landing page builder is designed to be SEO-friendly and includes features like custom meta descriptions, canonical URLs, and responsive design that can help improve your rankings. However, if you already have an established SEO strategy and infrastructure in WordPress, it may be beneficial to continue building landing pages there to maintain consistency and avoid any potential disruptions to your SEO efforts. Ultimately, the decision should depend on your specific needs and resources.

That makes sense- we definitely are not ranking higher than Hubspot.
I've installed the Elementor plug in to WP so it's easier to build and navigate.
Thank you!

Well building them in any platform having your domain is good. What you do on hubspots domain is hubspots SEO.
Unless you have a higher domain authority than hubspot, build it on WP

Seo for company services page?
I am creating a site for a Dentist with 30 pages of services in a mega menu. Other than the actual pages should there be a central page with all the services on it hyper linking to each one? Thanks Scott

SEO For Replacement Site
I have a client with a website that has gotten a bit outdated. We've already built his new website and optimized it, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to replace the site while doing the least amount of damage to his current Google rankings. He's ranking #1 for some very competitive keywords that are responsible for the bulk of his revenue, so we want to jeopardize that. We've already built a new site and written all new content, although the homepage page title, h1 header and meta descriptions will all remain what they currently are. I'm also trying to keep the keyword density as close to the current site as possible. I am aware of transferring all existing site URLS using 301 redirects. Can anyone provide any tips that I should use when replacing the site? Should I expect a slight rankings drop or am I worrying about nothing?

Static pages with dynamic content: Good for SEO?
I wanted to know ones thoughts on reducing duplication by creating a static page with a few dynamic fields. Has anyone done this? If 75% of a page is static and 25% is dynamic, is that a good ratio? It's an idea I am thinking about to combat duplication issues affecting ecommerce pages. Some ecommerce sites generate a new page for a small change like size, but the content is the same. What if you could create a single static page and depending on the size chosen, only those fields connected to the size are dynamic? Everything else remains the same. For caching purposes, you always submit a cached page with default values. Wouldn't this work? Isn't this a solution for duplicate ecommerce pages? It would also help in ranking, rather than multiple external links across duplicate ecommerce pages, it would just be to a single page.

Too Many On-Page Links
Hi, I did a SEOmoz campaign and got results today, One of the results is Too "Many On-Page Links" when i am drilling down, i see that that's include inside links. for example, i sale food, i have my main department window - inside i have 30 products - each product is linked to a detailed page about the product. so automatically i have 30 links - not including all the others in this page, and i easily get over 100 and even sometimes 200 is this a big issue? does it damages my SEO? If yes, is there a way to write the HTML in a way that internal links like that wont be counted? Thank you SEOWiseUs

Should H1s be used in the logo? If they are and it is dynamic on each page to relate to the page content, is this detrimental to the site rather than having it in the page content?
On some sites, the H1 is contained within the logo and remains consistent throughout the site (i.e. the company name is in the of the logo). If the h1 in a logo is dynamic for each page (i.e. on the homepage it is company name - homepage) is this better or worse to have it changed out on the logo rather than having it in the page content?

Should one page with markers or six separate pages?
Hi - I'm working on a site that was set up with 6 bios on one page, with markers jumping to each person's name. I was thinking about separating those into 6 different pages, but not sure if that's the right thing to do. Advice about keeping the bios on one page vs splitting them up? (Am I more likely to rank for those peoples' names if I have a unique page, or is the one page url with each different marker in it, just as good?) Ranking well for those names isn't a huge goal of the site, but it would be nice to make the choice that would help with that rank. Thanks for your input Emma

SEO Domain Values
I always thought that there was no difference in value between a .com and .net, also that hyphens have the same value as the keyphrase without the hyphen. But I have heard Rand lately saying hyphens are spammy - whats the go? Is CarParts.com better than Car-Parts.com or Car-Parts.net etc?
