HubSpot migration guide

HubSpot Migration SEO Checklist

A CMS move does not automatically hurt SEO. Most migration losses come from preventable execution problems: broken redirects, lost metadata, bad canonicals, and missed QA.

What you need to know

This guide is designed to answer one specific migration question clearly, then help you decide whether you need a broader HubSpot migration plan.

Protect the signals that already work

URL and metadata review

  • Export current URLs
  • Map changed URLs to destinations
  • Preserve titles and descriptions
  • Review canonicals and headings

Content and linking review

  • Keep priority copy intact where needed
  • Check internal links
  • Review image alt text
  • Preserve indexable priority pages

Validate the technical handoff

Redirects

Test important old URLs and confirm they resolve to the right new destinations.

Crawlability

Check robots directives, noindex tags, canonicals, sitemap access, and page status codes.

Tracking

Confirm analytics, Search Console, and conversion tracking still work after launch.

Monitor the migration, do not just publish it

Search Console

Watch indexing, coverage, sitemaps, and unexpected 404s.

Analytics

Compare organic landing pages, conversions, and engagement on priority URLs.

Fixes

Resolve redirect gaps, broken links, or metadata issues quickly while the migration is still fresh.
