Practice

HubSpot CMS, migrations and AEO

HubSpot CMS sites, portal merges and AEO work measured against a baseline, led by an engineer who fixes problems in the templates where they start.

Problems we solve

  • Two HubSpot portals that need to become one without breaking a single association.
  • Listings or products maintained as static pages instead of coming from the CRM.
  • A site AI assistants don't cite, while competitors get cited instead.
  • SEO faults repeated on every page because they live in the templates.
  • A site move or merge that would throw away years of search history.
  • SEO and AEO results nobody can measure, because there was never a baseline.

  1. 01

    First conversation

    Thirty minutes with the practice lead to understand the problem, the system it lives in and who depends on it.

    You get: A clear answer on whether we are a fit.

  2. 02

    Scoping

    The lead who will build the work writes down what will be built, how, and what could go wrong.

    You get: A written scope with approach, risks and price.

  3. 03

    Build in the open

    Weekly demos, written decisions and a shared board, so you always know what changed and why.

    You get: Working software every week, with a decision log.

  4. 04

    Ship and prove

    Tests run on the real database engine, the rollout is staged, and the handover is written down.

    You get: A staged release and a documented handover.

  5. 05

    Run and improve

    Optional retained support once the system is live, with agreed response times.

    You get: A support agreement, if you want one.

Real estate / HubSpot CMS

Property Pages That Build Themselves

Problem

A boutique real estate agency needed a bilingual site whose listings were managed in the CRM, not maintained as static pages.

What changed

Listings became a HubSpot custom object rendered by one template pair in both languages, with SEO faults fixed at the template level.

72%fewer flagged SEO issues

Result

The site-wide SEO scan fell from 3,266 flagged items to roughly 900, and 150+ property pages now come from CRM records.

CRM / Portal migration

Two Production HubSpot Portals, Merged into One

Problem

A business ran separate sales and marketing HubSpot portals and needed them merged without breaking a single association.

What changed

A migration engine that cascades from seed companies, applies the client's merge rules and writes in dependency order, rehearsed end to end in a sandbox.

0mis-associated activities after the pilot migration

Result

~11,000 contacts, ~250 deals and ~25,000 emails and notes migrated in the pilot, with zero mis-associated activities after verification.

Cybersecurity / AEO and GEO

Making a 270-Page Site Citable by AI

Problem

A B2B cybersecurity vendor wanted to be cited by AI assistants, and to know why competitors were cited instead.

What changed

A reproducible Python crawler and audit, a competitor citation-gap teardown, and JSON-LD and hreflang specs implemented at the template level.

45validated JSON-LD blocks for 27 priority pages

Result

A site that was 84% without structured data got validated schema on its priority pages and corrected hreflang across both languages.

Questions

Questions about this practice.

Can you merge two HubSpot portals?

Yes. A migration engine moves companies, contacts, deals, line items, notes, emails, calls, meetings and attachments in dependency order. The run is rehearsed end to end in a sandbox first, and the target is reconciled against the source afterwards.

What is AEO, and can you do it for our site?

Answer-engine optimisation makes a site readable and citable for AI assistants. We crawl and audit the site, review what AI assistants already cite and why competitors get cited instead, then write and implement JSON-LD, hreflang and template fixes.

Can you move our site from WordPress to HubSpot?

Yes, with a redesign if you want one, a redirect plan that carries search history over, and a measurement baseline set before launch so the effect can be shown.

Do you build HubSpot CMS themes from scratch?

Yes: custom templates and modules from a design, client-editable brand tokens, accessibility built in, and HubDB or CRM custom objects when pages should come from data.
