Moving From HubSpot Help
-
I am migrating from hubspot to wordpress. How do i do this so i maintain my previous seo efforts. I have about 10 optimized blog posts. Can i cut and paste them into the wordpress blog or use a 301 url rewrite? Add to domain? Totally clueless!

If you only have about 10 of these, I would just copy & paste it in.
The biggest thing to keep in mind is to keep the URLs the same. So yoursite.com/blog/your-post should still go to the same place. Otherwise you do have to do 301 redirects and all that stuff. If possible skip that by keeping the same URL/permalink.

Hi Jay
Here's what I'd do:
-
Create your new WordPress site
-
As Matt says, try to keep your URLs the same if possible. You can probably adjust these with your Permalink Settings: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
-
If the URLs are the same, no need for redirects.
-
If they are different, you can do 301 redirects with either a redirect plugin or directly in the .htaccess file
You can check everything when you're done by running a crawler, like Moz's crawl tool or Screaming Frog SEO Spider. Fix any additional 404s you find by redirecting them.
