Best Way To Work On Landing Page Revisions?

evellop — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 09:15:42 GMT

Dear all, we are looking to have a landing page at EG domain.com/page with a teaser for an event. Upon event launch, we would like to replace this page with more extensive page. We would like to prepare this page in advance, have it all set, and at day of event, switch the teaser page with the more extensive page.

That new content should however still be present at the same URL domain.com/page .

What;'s the best way to do this, considering Hubspot's redirect setup? Thanks a lot for any advice given!

Hi @evellop

In order to retain the URL and meta data while replacing the page contents - the ideal approach is to use the staging feature of CMS Hub to prepare the changes in the background and publish them when ready.

If you do not have CMS Hub, the next best option is to prepare the updates in the landing page editor without updating the published/live page - obviously this is a little more risky as you need to make sure nobody accidentally published the updated content to early.

The final option is to create a separate page on a different URL. You can schedule the publishing of that page but you would need to create the redirect at the time of launch. Reusing exactly the same URL with this approach requires a rather fiddly process of changing the URL on the first page before applying it to the second.

Lastly, there is an idea requesting this that has made it to beta, but its CMS Hub Enterprise only by the looks of it: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Schedule-website-landing-page-updates-without-unpublishing-the/idi-p/10535

Hope this helps?

Many thanks Phil for the extensive answer. We are using Marketing Professional, so no Enterprise or CMS. I think we will try setting the final option you present. I was expecting the first page to keep the URL even after changing it manually. We will test this!
