You’re considering HubSpot for a reason.

Your team may be moving to HubSpot to connect website activity with contacts, campaigns, and reporting. Marketing may need to publish faster, or the website may have become difficult and expensive to manage. You may already be on HubSpot and need a better implementation.

 

Your first decision is what to keep, improve, or rebuild. We can help you do that.

What may need to be migrated

1

Website

Pages, content, layouts, URLs, metadata, and internal links that need to be preserved or deliberately changed during migration.

2

CRM & data

Properties, forms, sales pipelines, and marketing data may need to be migrated, rebuilt, or reconnected in HubSpot via an integration.

What a HubSpot migration needs to accomplish

1

Preserve what’s working

Protect valuable content and search visibility. Preserve URLs, map redirects, and retain metadata and internal-linking signals.

2

Improve what isn’t

Correct layout, clarity, and performance issues. Fix page layouts, address content alignment, and how SEO and AEO signals are applied.

What’s driving most migrations

1

Consolidation

Updated tech stack brings data, reporting, and website together

2

Execution

Launch new pages and campaigns without delays

3

Performance

Address design, functionality, and usability limitations

4

Operations

Support ongoing changes without rebuilding again

You can reproduce the site or improve it

A typical migration rebuilds your website as-is. It can be done quickly, but doesn't address structural issues or content drift. By contrast, a proper structured website migration rebuilds pages with intent, allowing you to keep pages consistent after launch. It also ensures SEO, AEO opportunities are not overlooked.

Where a standard migration stops

1

Advanced SEO

URL structure is copied without addressing legacy redirects or monitoring impact

2

External data

Database-driven content, dynamic pages, and integrations are extras

 

3

Compliance

Governance, data privacy, and other requirements are not addressed fully

 

4

Content

Pages are copied without improvement, audit, cleanup, or restructuring

 

Two ways migrations usually play out

1

Reproduce the site

Rebuild pages as they exist. You address issues post-migration. It's often done as a means to get site content into HubSpot before doing a redesign. Be aware, you're likely migrating the stuff that doesn't work along with the stuff that does.

Best when speed is the priority and improvements are planned separately.

2

Structured rebuild

Restructure page layouts, improve content flow, refine AEO signals, and redesign your visitor's experience before taking the website live. More effort up front, but takes full advantage of HubSpot Content Hub with DropZone Pro theme.

Best when existing content, layout, or usability problems can be corrected during migration.

Things change (for the good) in your website after migration with the Rebuild option

Pages follow consistent layouts. Content aligns with intent. Internal linking supports navigation and search. SEO and AEO signals are applied systematically. The site becomes easier to manage and extend as new pages are added - even by different team members.

What improves for your website

1

SEO

Clear URL structure, redirects, and internal linking that support indexing

2

AEO

Content structured so answers can be extracted and understood

 

3

Conversion

Pages aligned to intent, with clear paths that turn traffic into leads

 

4

Operations

Teams build and update pages without reworking structure each time

 

Built for how teams actually work

Marketing teams need to create pages quickly. Structure and layout need to be predictable. A proper migration sets that foundation so teams work with structure instead of rebuilding it, all while maintaining consistency across the site.

Post migration

1

Structured rebuild

A site built on DropZone Pro with clear page-building rules. Pages follow consistent layouts, modules behave predictably, and SEO and AEO signals are applied the same way across the site.

2

Upgrade with the Conversion system

Extends the theme with intent-based page structures. Key pages follow defined frameworks for messaging, layout, and conversion, so layouts and section order aren’t reworked each time.

How the migration is handled

1

Review

Audit site structure, content, URLs, and data before planning the move

2

Decide

Define page intent, URL changes, redirects, and content improvements

 

3

Rebuild

Recreate pages using structured layouts, modules, and consistent patterns

 

4

Launch

Test SEO, links, data, and performance before and after going live

Why not use HubSpot’s migration service?

HubSpot’s migration service recreates existing website content in Content Hub using its migration theme or a Marketplace theme. It does not include graphic design, significant custom development, or content strategy. Organizations requiring those services may need a developer or HubSpot Solutions Partner. (This is why you're here – we are that partner. Our goal is not just a site in HubSpot. It’s a site that performs better once it’s there.)

Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference. MiniBulk bags wasn't converting as much of their web traffic as they wanted to. We took a look, tweaked some problematic styling, reorganized a bit, and voila, UX improvements all around.

Having a generic, corporate-looking advisor website was perfectly fine with the compliance people, but not for the client. We jumped on a redesign and worked closely with the client to re-craft the marketing messaging intended for a higher value audience.

When your supply chain is five layers deep, your website needs to present your information professionally (and quickly) to visitors from all types of organizations. Smart content, database-driven dynamic product pages, and client training fleshed out this project.

Internationally-recognized Evans Consoles needed a website refresh. Having last been redesigned 8 years ago, the tech was also outdated. Working closely with the marketing team, Kayak redesigned and rebuilt the site from the ground up, and converted the entire website in a live environment.
