Why teams move

Why migrate from Drupal to HubSpot CMS?

What HubSpot CMS gives you

Retire Drupal engineering overhead
Connect every page to the CRM
Give marketing drag-and-drop control

Considerations before you commit

Structured content moves into HubDB or custom objects
Editorial workflows are simpler in HubSpot
Multilingual structure needs mapping

Stay on Drupal if you need complex permissions or heavy integrations built in Drupal.

How the data moves

How content moves from Drupal to HubSpot CMS

Drupal
Source site
1
Export
Drupal Migrate API, direct database queries, or JSON:API
2
Transform
Clean, map fields, rewrite links, move media
3
Import
Blog import tool, CMS Source Code API, HubDB imports
HubSpot CMS
New site on staging

SEO lane (runs in parallel): crawl old URLs → build 1:1 301 redirect map → carry titles, meta and schema → compare old vs new crawl → submit new sitemap to Google Search Console.

Figure 1. How content and SEO signals move from Drupal to HubSpot CMS.

Content model

What each Drupal item becomes in HubSpot CMS

We agree this map with your editors in week two. Anything without a clean match is flagged, with a recommendation to rebuild, merge or retire it, before build starts.

In Drupal		Becomes in HubSpot CMS
Content types		Pages / HubDB
Webforms		HubSpot forms
Taxonomy		Blog tags / HubDB columns
Paragraphs		Modules
Aliases		URL redirects

The whole plan

The six-phase Drupal to HubSpot CMS migration plan

1
Discovery and audit
Crawl every URL, export analytics and Search Console data, inventory content types, plugins/modules/apps, integrations and users.
2
Content model and mapping
Map every field, taxonomy and template from the old platform to the new one and agree what is cut, merged or rebuilt.
3
Design and build
Build the theme or templates, components and integrations on the new platform in a staging environment.
4
Scripted content migration
Run repeatable export-transform-import scripts, move media, rewrite internal links and re-run until counts match.
5
SEO, accessibility and QA
Build the 301 redirect map, compare old vs new crawls, validate schema, WCAG 2.2 AA and Core Web Vitals.
6
Launch and hypercare
Content freeze, final delta migration, DNS cutover, sitemap submission to Google Search Console, 30 days of monitoring.

FAQ

Drupal to HubSpot CMS migration questions

How long does a Drupal to HubSpot CMS migration take?

Will we lose Google rankings moving from Drupal to HubSpot CMS?

Not when it is planned. DoodleWeb crawls every old URL, builds a 1:1 301 redirect map, carries over titles, meta descriptions and schema, compares old and new crawls before launch, and submits the new sitemap to Google Search Console on launch day. A short dip of a few weeks is normal while Google processes redirects.

What does not migrate automatically from Drupal to HubSpot CMS?

Structured content moves into HubDB or custom objects. Editorial workflows are simpler in HubSpot. Multilingual structure needs mapping. Everything else, including content, media, taxonomy and URLs, moves with repeatable scripts.
