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 value of old press releases (as content)?
Howdy Moz Community, I'm working with a client on migrating content to a new site/CMS and am wondering whether anyone has thoughts on the value of old press releases. I'm familiar with the devaluation of press release links from early 2013, but I'm wondering more about their value as content. Does importing old press releases (3-5 years old) create contextual depth of content that has some value for the site as a whole (even though the news contained within is useless)? Or, do these old press releases just create clutter and waste time (in migration). The site has a wealth of additional content (articles and videos), so the press releases wouldn't be covering up for thin content. I'm just wondering whether there's any best practices or a general rule of thumb. Thanks!

How will it effect SEO to have multiple h1 tags on a page?
I have a client who recieved this advice from his marketing consultant: "If there are multiple h1 tags on a page, this can confuse Google and it may have a negative impact on the keyword rankings. If you could ask your web developer to go in and remove the h1 tags on the header images that would be helpful. This way it will be easier for Google to index your site and will help your keyword rankings." How will it effect SEO to have multiple h1 tags on a page?

Are there any SEO benefits changing the default home page filename (index.htm) to a keyword rich filename
II'm a newbie. I have a website using the default home page filename: index.htm. I have total control over the web server. I was wondering whether I can get any SEO improvements for my main keyword if I change the default filename with a filename that contains the main keyword, like our-main-product.htm (doing the 301 redirect and changing the server search order, of course)?

Two Word Company Name (Combined to One) & SEO
Hi All, I'm dealing with a company that has a two word name like "GreatCompany". They rank #1 for that but not for "Great Company". The phrase is not super competitive, but obviously they are not writing the company name with two words anywhere on their site. Has anyone had to deal with something like this? Thinking about creative solutions but I'm fairly sure we're going to need to use the name both ways to have an effect here (or use PPC to augment) but I don't really love the idea of doing that... will feel very odd and inconsistent for visitors. Thanks!

Page Title in Local SEO Title Tags?
Hi All, Still working on my title tag usage for local SEO, and I was hoping for some more feedback. My question is this: In Local SEO titles, I'm using location + keyword combinations, unique on each page. However, since each page has a specific title for the client, I figure I should be placing that at the front. My thought here was that this helps with the overall usability to the reader of the website. Ex. Contact Us page for Pizza shop Contact Us | Springfield IN Gourmet Pizza | Moe's Italian Pizza Anyone have thoughts on this one? Thank you!

Are blank Product Review pages bad for SEO?
Hi there, I'm running a new e-commerce site (BoatOutfitters.com) and have a question about our product review pages. On our current campaign, we have a lot of duplicate page content errors. When we export the data, it's almost all blank product review pages (since we are new, we don't have that many product reviews yet). Our product reviews aren't run through javascript, so we originally did not add them to a robots.txt file - however, I'm now wondering if it's worse to have all of these duplicate blank pages, or is it not affecting our SEO at all? Should we just wait until these products have reviews which will benefit our SEO and then they won't be considered "duplicate pages" - right? Sorry if this has been answered before - new here at SEO Moz and just looking for some help. Thanks!

Should I include a "|" for better page title SEO results?
I have seen many sites that include the "|" in page titles and was wondering if there is some SEO value in the practice. Example: Product Name | Company Name Instead of: Product Name by Company Name I have not seen any value in it myself other than a good way to avoid stop words. I wanted to make sure. Currently I have the "by" included in the page titles.
