Explanation:
Kuma’s Concoctions is moving to HubSpot and wants to consolidate their:
-
Email templates
-
Web pages
When reviewing their existing content, you find outdated and duplicate assets.
Best-Practice Logic
When migrating to a new platform (like HubSpot), the standard process is:
-
Perform a content audit
-
Identify what exists
-
Mark what’s outdated, duplicated, or irrelevant
-
Evaluate performance
-
Decide what should be kept, updated, merged, or deleted
-
-
Create a content consolidation plan
-
Remove duplicate templates/pages
-
Update or rewrite the ones worth keeping
-
Map them to new HubSpot templates and modules
-
-
Implement the cleaned-up content in HubSpot
So the next step you should take is:
Perform a structured content audit and create a cleanup plan before migrating anything into HubSpot.
Why?
Because you don’t want to import outdated or duplicate content into the new system. You first need to:
-
Decide which assets to retire
-
Which to rewrite or update
-
Which to consolidate
-
Which to import into HubSpot
This ensures the new HubSpot portal starts clean, consistent, and easy to maintain.
In one sentence:
Conduct a content audit and develop a plan to clean, consolidate, update, or retire outdated and duplicate assets before migrating them to HubSpot.
