How do I change the primary domain on my account?

jjcouch7 — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 03:10:19 GMT

I have a free account and am trying to change the primary domain I originally used to setup the account, but I cannot figure out a way to change it. I've looked all through the settings and located the domains and URLs section, but I do not have an option to change the primary domain.

Hi @jjcouch7,

Have you checked the steps explained here? (Settings > Domains & Urls > Edit > Replace primary domain) These options might not be available to you, since the article only applies to Marketing Hub Professional and Enterprise but I recommend you double-check.

For changing your target domain (used as basis for metrics in the links, competitors tool, reports etc.), you can find detailed instructions here.

Hope this helps!

I believe it may be the second option you gave, Karsten- If it's a free account it's likely the Company domain property that needs to be changed for Branding purposes. Let us know how it goes @jjcouch7 !

Thanks for your comments and suggestions. Unfortunately it appears that I am unable to change the landing page URL for my free account. But again, thanks for your input!

I had the same question, so thanks for putting it forward to the community. I've also found (so far) that it's not possible to change your primary domain on a free account. I'm curios @jjcouch7, were you able to solve this? Even if not, what did you end up doing? I'm tempted to delete everything and start from scratch.
