Share HubSpot Draft Blog Post Previews in 5 Steps

Creating and sharing draft blog posts for review is a critical step in the content creation process, especially when aiming for optimal SEO results. HubSpot, a powerful inbound marketing and sales platform, offers a streamlined way to send preview links of draft blog posts to collaborators, stakeholders, or clients before hitting the publish button. This process ensures that your content is polished, SEO-optimized, and aligns with your marketing goals. Here's how you can send preview links to draft blog posts in HubSpot.

Generating Preview Links for Draft Blog Posts

To share a draft blog post in HubSpot, you first need to generate a preview link. This link allows the recipients to view the post exactly as it would appear once published, without giving them access to the HubSpot dashboard or the ability to make changes. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your HubSpot dashboard and select the 'Marketing' tab, then click on 'Website' and choose 'Blog'.
2. In the blog dashboard, find the draft post you want to share and click on it to open the post editor.
3. While in the editor, look for the 'Share' or 'Preview' option, usually located at the top or side of the page.
4. Click on 'Preview', and in the preview mode, you will see an option to 'Share Preview'. Clicking this will generate a unique URL that you can copy.
5. Share this URL with your intended recipients. They will be able to view the draft post in its entirety without needing to log in to HubSpot.

It's important to note that the preview link is temporary and may expire after a certain period, typically 24 hours. If feedback is not received within this timeframe, you may need to generate a new link following the same steps.

While sending preview links to draft blog posts in HubSpot is essential, automating your outreach can save time and enhance collaboration. Discover how Bardeen can automate this with HubSpot and other integrations like Salesforce, LinkedIn, and Slack for a more efficient workflow.

Achieving Optimal SEO Results

When sharing draft blog posts for review, it's crucial to focus on optimizing for SEO results. Encourage your reviewers to provide feedback on keyword usage, meta descriptions, and title tags to enhance the post's visibility and search engine ranking. Utilizing HubSpot's SEO tools and recommendations during the drafting phase can significantly improve the post's performance once published. Additionally, consider the readability and engagement factors, such as the use of headers, bullet points, and images, to ensure the content is user-friendly and SEO-friendly.

By carefully reviewing and refining your draft blog posts based on feedback and SEO best practices, you can increase the likelihood of achieving higher search engine rankings and driving more organic traffic to your site. Sharing preview links through HubSpot simplifies this process, making it easier to collaborate and produce high-quality, SEO-optimized content.
