How Do HubSpot Content Hub Redirects and URL Mapping Work?

Written by Deepti Mittal | Nov 9, 2026, 4:45:00 PM

When websites evolve, pages are often moved, renamed, or removed. Without proper redirection, visitors may land on broken pages and search engines may lose track of important content.

HubSpot Content Hub includes URL redirect and URL mapping tools that help automatically send visitors from old URLs to the correct new pages.

Understanding how HubSpot Content Hub redirects and URL mapping work helps teams maintain SEO value and ensure visitors always reach the correct content.

What Is a URL Redirect?

A URL redirect automatically sends visitors from one web address to another.

For example:

example.com/old-page

may redirect to

example.com/new-page

This ensures that visitors who access outdated links still reach the correct page.

Why Redirects Are Important

Redirects help maintain both user experience and SEO performance.

They are commonly used when:

  • Pages are renamed
  • Website structures are reorganized
  • Content is removed or replaced
  • Websites are migrated to new platforms

Without redirects, visitors may encounter 404 errors.

Managing Redirects in HubSpot

HubSpot allows users to manage redirects directly from the settings panel.

To create a redirect in HubSpot Content Hub:

  1. Navigate to Settings → Website → Domains & URLs
  2. Open the URL Redirects section
  3. Click Add URL Redirect
  4. Enter the original URL and the destination URL
  5. Save the redirect

Once saved, visitors accessing the old URL will automatically be redirected.

Types of Redirects

Most redirects used in HubSpot are 301 redirects, which indicate a permanent page move.

A 301 redirect tells search engines that the page has permanently moved to a new location.

This helps preserve SEO value and search rankings.

Bulk Redirect Management

For large websites, managing redirects individually may be time-consuming.

HubSpot allows users to upload redirect lists in bulk, which is useful during website migrations.

Bulk redirects are commonly used when:

  • Migrating from WordPress to HubSpot
  • Changing URL structures
  • Launching a redesigned website

Key Takeaway

HubSpot Content Hub redirect tools help manage URL changes and ensure visitors are directed to the correct pages. By using redirects and URL mapping effectively, businesses can maintain SEO rankings and prevent broken links when website structures evolve.
