HubSpot Content Hub One system, not six tools.
HubSpot Content Hub is HubSpot's content management and content marketing platform: website and CMS hosting, AI-assisted content creation, blog and social scheduling, built-in SEO tools, and content operations, all on one system connected directly to your CRM. iBusinessFormula is a HubSpot Platinum Solutions Partner based in Sydney, and one of a small number of Platinum-tier partners in Australia. We implement Content Hub and migrate Australian websites off WordPress onto it, without losing search rankings or traffic.
What most website projects get wrong.
Most website projects fail the same way. A developer rebuilds the site, it looks good on launch day, and nobody carried the search rankings across.
Six months later, the enquiries have dried up, and by the time anyone connects it to the rebuild, the traffic is gone and expensive to win back.
The problem is rarely the design. It is that the site was treated as a design project, not a search-and-conversion asset. A website is only worth what it does to your pipeline, not how it looks in a portfolio.
We start every Content Hub build the same way: with an audit of what your current site actually earns, which pages rank, where the traffic comes from, and what has to survive the move. Content Hub gets configured to protect and grow that. Not the other way around.
What is HubSpot Content Hub, and what does it do?
HubSpot Content Hub is HubSpot's all-in-one content and website platform. It replaces the stack of separate tools most businesses run: CMS, hosting, SEO plugin, social scheduler, forms, analytics, with one system that shares a single database with your sales and marketing.
What we implement across the platform
Website and CMS
Managed hosting, drag-and-drop pages, themes and reusable modules, with a global CDN and security handled by HubSpot rather than by you.
→Content creation at scale
AI-assisted drafting, a brand voice profile so output sounds like you, and content remix that turns one asset into a blog, social posts, and an email without starting from scratch each time.
→Blog and social scheduling
Plan, draft, schedule and publish blog and social content from one calendar, with performance tracked back to contacts and deals.
→SEO tools
On-page recommendations, topic clusters, and technical checks built into the editor, so optimisation is part of publishing rather than a separate job.
→Content operations
Approvals, staging, and reusable content blocks so a small team can run a real publishing cadence without a full content department.
→Memberships and gated content
Member logins and gated pages where the business model needs them.
→Is Content Hub a good WordPress alternative?
For a business whose website is meant to generate enquiries, yes, and this is the honest version of why.
WordPress is a stack of separate plugins held together. Each one is either a monthly subscription or a free plugin that is a security exposure. The platform needs constant updating to stay secure, every new page usually means paying a developer, SEO needs its own software, and hosting is a separate bill again. Costs and responsibilities that sit in several places on WordPress sit inside one subscription on Content Hub.
- It is cheaper to start
- It has a far larger plugin ecosystem
- If you already have a developer you trust and a site that is small and static, there is no good reason to move
We will tell you that in a discovery call if it is true.
- Security, hosting, SEO, forms, scheduling and analytics come as one managed system connected to your CRM
- A small team can run it without a developer on standby
- Predictable and included, rather than unpredictable and stacking
If your site earns you work, that reliability usually matters more than the plugin count.
My website is very slow to load. Will Content Hub fix that?
Usually, yes. Slow WordPress sites are most often slow because of plugin bloat, unoptimised images, and shared hosting. Content Hub serves pages from a managed global CDN, optimises images and code automatically, and does not carry the plugin overhead, so pages that were fighting a stack of scripts tend to load materially faster after migration.
We measure it. Part of the migration is a before-and-after on core web vitals, so the speed improvement is a number you can see, not a promise.
Your own before-and-after numbers are reported as part of the migration.
Moving off WordPress without losing your SEO.
This is the part most website moves get wrong, and it is the single biggest risk in any migration. Rankings are lost when URLs change without redirects, when on-page SEO is not carried across, and when analytics and Search Console are never properly reconnected, so the damage stays invisible until months later when the enquiries have already dried up.
We handle all of it as standard: complete redirect mapping from every old URL to every new one, on-page SEO migrated page by page, and analytics and Search Console reconnected and verified before switch-over. Your existing site stays live and untouched while we build the new one alongside it, and nothing switches until you have reviewed and approved it.
Up to 100 pages. Live in about five weeks. Search rankings preserved. Your current site stays live and untouched until you approve the new one. Full details, inclusions, and migrations we have delivered are on the migration page.
Migrations we have delivered
Kolmeo
Migrated from a custom PHP website. Organic clicks held steady while impressions rose 2.1% across the move.
Stiebel Eltron AU & NZ
Migrated from a custom PHP website. Over 600 URLs migrated across both sites with no measurable decline in organic visibility.
About five weeks, start to live
What we implement in a Content Hub build.
Scope scales with your Content Hub tier and whether the project is a migration, a new build, or a content-operations setup. Where the project is a migration off WordPress, the migration offer above defines that scope and price. A new build or content-operations setup is quoted on fixed scope after the audit.
Who this is for, and who it isn't.
Content Hub implementation is the right fit if:
- ✓Your website is meant to generate enquiries, not just exist
- ✓You are on WordPress or a comparable platform and tired of the plugin, security and maintenance overhead
- ✓Your site is slow, and speed is costing you rankings or conversions
- ✓You are already on HubSpot, or moving toward it, and want your website in the same system as your CRM
- ✓You want your search rankings and traffic to survive a move
It is probably not the right fit if:
- ✕Your site is a handful of static pages with no forms and no marketing ambition
- ✕You want a full redesign or rebrand rather than a migration; that is different work
- ✕You need e-commerce as the core of the site
- ✕You are genuinely happy on WordPress and have no reason to move. If it is working, stay.
We will tell you during the discovery call if we do not think Content Hub is the right investment. We have turned down projects for this reason before.
What we've learned working with Australian businesses.
Plugin sprawl on a shrinking team
Most Australian SMBs do not have a full-time web person. We configure Content Hub so a marketing coordinator can maintain it, fewer moving parts, more reusable modules.
Data residency
HubSpot's Australian data centre is live. For regulated clients, we set portals up on AU hosting from the start.
Migrations that protect existing traffic
Australian businesses often have years of local SEO equity in a small number of pages. We treat those as the load-bearing assets of the migration, not an afterthought.
Content the team can actually keep up
We set the AI content and scheduling tools up around a realistic cadence for a small team, not an enterprise content calendar nobody maintains.
How much does Content Hub cost in Australia?
Content Hub subscription
HubSpot charges a Content Hub subscription, paid monthly to HubSpot, with tiers (Starter, Professional, Enterprise). Current licence pricing is on HubSpot's site, and it is a separate cost to us, not hidden inside our fee.
Implementation
For a migration off WordPress, the price is fixed and published: $4,995 for up to 100 pages. For a new build or a content-operations setup, implementation is quoted on fixed scope after the audit. If the scope changes mid-project we raise it in writing before doing the work, no surprise invoices.
How our process is different from most website partners.
Most partners run a design-first process: mockups, revisions, build, launch. We run a search-and-conversion-first process. Before we touch the build, we audit what your current site earns and what has to survive the move. Content Hub then gets configured to protect and grow that.
Audit before quoting
We inventory your pages, rankings and tracking assets and quote off that, which is why our quotes hold.
Fixed scope, in writing, with change control
Every deliverable is in the SOW. Scope changes are re-quoted before work happens.
Your site stays live until you approve
We build alongside your existing site on staging. Nothing switches on our word alone.
30-day post-launch optimisation included
Adoption support, tuning and fixes for 30 days after go-live, built into the price.
PARTNER
The case for choosing a Platinum Partner.
Practically, it matters for three reasons: we access HubSpot's dedicated partner support channel and a Channel Account Manager, so technical issues route through partner support rather than a general queue; the team holds advanced certifications across multiple consultants, so your project does not depend on one person; and we get early visibility of roadmap changes, so we plan around feature releases rather than react to them. We are based in Chatswood, Sydney.
Frequently asked questions.
For a business whose website drives enquiries, yes. Content Hub replaces WordPress plus its plugins, SEO tool, scheduler, forms and hosting with one managed system connected to your CRM. WordPress is cheaper to start and has a larger plugin ecosystem, so for small static sites it can still be the right call. For a marketing site that needs to be secure, fast and low-maintenance, Content Hub usually wins.
Not if the migration is done by people who understand search as well as code. Rankings are lost when URLs change without redirects, on-page SEO is not carried across, or analytics is not reconnected. We handle complete redirect mapping, page-by-page on-page SEO, and verified analytics and Search Console before the switchover.
$4,995 fixed, for a site of up to 100 pages migrated from WordPress or a comparable platform. E-commerce, more than 100 pages, a full redesign, or complex custom integrations are scoped separately, and we give you the number before you commit.
No. Your existing site stays live and untouched while we build the new one on staging. You review it page by page, and only when you approve do we switch over. Total disruption at changeover is one to two hours.
Yes. Content Hub includes AI-assisted drafting, a brand voice profile so output sounds like you, and content remix that turns one asset into a blog, social posts and an email. We set these up around a cadence your team can actually maintain.
You need a Content Hub subscription, paid to HubSpot directly. It is not included in our implementation or migration fee. We will tell you which tier you actually need rather than the biggest one.
You do. You own the HubSpot subscription, the site, the content and the admin access. We hand over full documentation so you are never locked into us.
You can, and for a few simple pages you may be fine. Where it goes wrong is everything around the pages: redirect mapping, on-page SEO carried across, analytics reconnected, forms rebuilt into the CRM. Miss those and the site looks perfect on launch day, then enquiries quietly stop months later.
