Top 7 Features of HubSpot CMS 

You must be thinking what’s impressive about HubSpot CMS? 

The best part about HubSpot functionality is how smoothly it all works together and the value added by each function to the overall efficiency of the sales and marketing effort. 

We personally believe HubSpot features are worth shouting about, but a handful of them are astounding. Here are the HubSpot CMS features that we think are paramount for their value and impact: 

1. Smart Content 

“Dynamic Customization of Your Web Experience” 

Smart content feature is the capability for websites to cater different content in designated page areas depending on the visitors. 

In essence, you can instruct your website to understand or recognize each visitor and personalize the content to meet their specific requirements.

So, aligning your numerous content with different personas in the HubSpot marketing system, you leverage the power to customize the experience of your web visitors at scale, based on your established personas, place in the buying journey or what you already know about them in their last visits.

All in all, this enriches their experience, maximizes retention and improves conversion.

2. Adaptive Testing

There’s no doubt, the conversion rate is the metric encompassing all the other performance metrics to deliver performance analysis.

Besides, there are third-party tools that can be integrated into websites to offer this, but they are often a hassle to use and plus, attract additional fees.

But with HubSpot CMS, you can easily create an added variant of a page in the intuitive content management system, and let the CMS weigh the two variants against each other. Plus, having this functionality built-in and always optimizing can ensure the conversion of traffic on the landing pages is monitored constantly for the best results.

The CMS provides clear reporting on the results of the testing so that learnings are visible and replicable throughout the website.

3. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Strategy Tools

HubSpot CMS consist of SEO strategy tools that help in content structuring around the core topics. These in-built tools help you research, plan and execute the right topic clusters and respective pillar pages for the target audience, whilst offering topic-based reporting to keep track of how content is performing.

This feature is inescapable for making sure that resources are being invested in creating the content that your audience wants, and that converts. It provides topic recommendations based on relevance, competition, and popularity letting you make content decisions based on real insights as well as answer questions that your potential customers want. Notably, these insights allow you to portray your service as the solution your target audience needs. 

4. Accurate Reporting 

Accessible and flexible reporting features are one of the excerpts of the HubSpot suite.

However, in the HubSpot CMS, the reporting functionality provides comprehensive insights into the performance of each page, blog, email, workflow, and form. Plus, they can be analyzed independently, or collectively as contributing elements of a campaign, with an automated dashboard that assembles and presents data in numerous accessible formats. 

This reporting feature offers users exceptional insight from the top level down, into each element’s performance enabling precise and efficient optimisation. 

5. Drag and Drop Editor

There’s no doubt, that HubSpot's simple and intuitive interface and the CMS's user-friendly and easy-to-navigate style have been the talk of the town. 

Simply put, you don’t need to be a front-end developer or dwell with technical expertise to create visually appealing, attractive, and effective landing pages. Simply, use existing templates and modules, or shed onus on your development team to create them, then use an interactive drag-and-drop interface to create amazing, on-brand pages quickly.

6. Landing Pages

HubSpot can also be used for creating a website or campaign-related landing pages.

What’s more crucial to know is that your website doesn’t need to be dependent on the HubSpot CMS to leverage landing page functionality. Indeed, HubSpot CMS can be used as a standalone platform providing an invaluable toolkit for your sales and marketing teams. 

Considering the free CRM upwards, the HubSpot platform consists of the tools to create stand-alone landing pages that can be easily optimized for search or used for dedicated social, PPC, or email campaigns. 

Eventually, this provides marketers with the flexibility to create, test, and adapt their landing pages without the constraint of development time and the hassle of interfering with the basic website. Primarily, the landing page includes the A/B testing functionality, making it an ideal choice for conversion rate tests. 

7. Security 

Connecting websites through HubSpot CMS automatically integrates numerous strategies to make sure that you as well as your visitors stay safe.

Here, HubSpot CMS comes into the picture because of its CDN (Content Delivery Network), which ensures that web pages load quickly, irrespective of where you are. Nearly 47% of visitors expect to wait for 2 seconds for a website to load. So, a fast yet secure loading website is favoured from an SEO perspective and prevents your visitors from dropping midway.
