According to HubSpot's Support team, whether a HubDB created Page appears in the XML Sitemap or not can only be controlled at subfolder level.    We have a scenario where a parent page should be indexed by search engines, but the many pages within the subfolder should not. Unfortunately, this means the entire subfolder of content has to be included in the sitemap so that the parent page is easily indexed.    We've added a noidex code to the subpages, but at scale this is a huge number of pages we're telling search engines to crawl via the XML sitemap, only to then say "don't index".   And the result is that we have thousands of these noindex pages clogging up Google's crawls of the site, and significantly delaying the indexation of new content.    A solution like a Yes/No column in the HubDB table that says "Include XML Sitemap" would be ideal. We've tried developing one, but it is not being recognised by HubSpot and is being overridden by the Subfolder rule mentioned above. ...read more

I created a blogging website (thesanjayl.com) to upload a few articles about self-development and finance. Now I need to know how to increase my domain authority without spending money to make my domain valuable. ...read more

It could be amazing if there was an integration to be able to verify if the "Company domain name" property added to the company records are actually real or not. There are email verification tools that work fantastically (it gives you which emails are deliverable, which ones are risky of bounce, which have low deliverability and which are undeliverable).   So, I would really appreciate being able to conduct a scan of those domain names and for the tool to tell me which ones are valid and lead to an existing website, which ones are redirected to a new domain name (and which one), which domains have expired, which ones are invalid and do not lead anywhere etc.   Currently HubSpot only flags the properties if they have been written in the wrong format, but they it does not recognise if the domain is real or not.  ...read more

Currently the only way to have a branded url shortening in Hubspot is through Bit.ly.   It would be very nice if there are some more possibilities. For one you would think since you already have tracking domains in Hubspot itself, it would be quite easy to add a possibilty to use these domains. Without the need of Bit.ly. But beside that it would be very nice if some other shortening services would be added. Short.io for example. But also allowing YOURLS connections would be a great addition.    ...read more

The tracking url functionallity on the marketing campaign object could use some work.   1. The ur's a stuffed a way unlogical.  They deserve a own space on the marketing campaigns. Especially on bigger campaigns you might have up to a 100 urls.     2. Currently you can only copy the shortened tracking version, not the long version.  For one it's not always necessary to use a shortened link. Second: Bit.ly (currently only option) is overpriced and we don't want hub.ly links. 3. It would be very helpfull while creating a new tracking url, you can see the already active urls. Preventing from duplicate urls and also creating overview while creating which urls have already been made.  ...read more

I'd love for there to be analytics around the tracking URLs I create primarily for paid social campaigns. Why? I want to know whether or not the money I'm putting behind a paid campaign is producing results.    In my case, for example, I create a tracking URL with specific UTM parameters that go to a page where someone viewing the paid post can fill out a form to get a demo of our platform. This would be a great way to track and quanitfy MQLs as well.    I would like to see the following analytics: Page views for each unique tracking URL Form submissions on those tracking URL landing pages If a deal has been created from that form submission, and what stage of the pipeline that deal is in now   This would be super helpful to know whether are money is being spent well or how to optimize our ads/promoted posts to get more engagement/traction. ...read more

At the moment we can only link a brand domain to one business unit. This is so limitating... Enterprise companies need the ability to link a brand domain to multiple business unit. Brands and business units are not always linked in a one-to-one relationship. Enterprise companies could have a global brand to manage many business units worldwide: europe.companyabc.com america.companyabc.com asia.companyabc.com Or by vertical: health.companyabc.com tech.companyabc.com automobile.companyabc.com ...read more

We have 50 subdomains, each with their own website. We have assigned users to teams with the idea of restricting their access to just their subdomain, YET if we give them the ability to edit their content and their own navigation, they are also able to edit the main domain and other subdomains' NAVIGATION. And strangely enough they cannot edit another domain's pages but they CAN DELETE THEM.  This is beyond frustrating.   Idea 1 -- Each subdomain should have access to see and edit/delete ONLY THEIR OWN: Navigation Website/Blog Pages Files I'm not sure if this could be solely done through permissioning at the subdomain level, I just know we have an urgent need for more control over what our subdomain teams can/cannot do.   Idea 2 --  Deleted website pages should be recoverable. It's kind of strange that we can recover a deleted workflow but not a deleted webpage.   Thanks for your consideration, Robyn ...read more
