Why choose HubSpot's CMS?

In fact, Globalia contributes to the HubSpot Marketplace.
  6. It offers several analysis tools integrated directly into the platform, which can help your marketing experts who administer the site to make good decisions and tactical directions. The CMS can obviously be linked to Google Analytics for those who prefer this tool, or use a combo of the two tools. HubSpot’s statistics are geared more towards lead generation than Google Analytics.
  7. Managing and testing your content in different languages ​​on your site is also one of the advantages of this CMS. To grow, you will most likely want to have a multilingual site in order to promote SEO on a larger scale.

  9. There are few CMS that are so SEO-friendly! The CMS will make optimization recommendations for your pages. Additionally, one of the big SEO benefits of HubSpot is the topic cluster tool (included in Marketing Hub Pro or Enterprise) which helps to gain search traffic for highly targeted keywords and phrases. Let’s also remember that it’s not surprising that SEO is one of the great advantages of HubSpot's CMS, since Google is one of the main investors in HubSpot.
  10. It allows you to manage your site, your CRM, your marketing automation, your social media, your emails, and your acquisition campaigns in a single platform. You can then have access to dashboards accumulating all the data in the same place for all these statistical sources.
