What is on page SEO
On Page SEO is exactly what it sounds like - implementing search engine optimisation techniques on your web pages. It’s everything that’s happening on your site - content, code, elements.
What are some of the on-page elements you can optimise? (Don’t let this list overwhelm you, POP makes this easy, even for a beginner)
- Meta Title
- Meta Description
- Headings and subheadings H1-H6
- URL slug
- Image optimization
- Keywords
- Content aligned with Search Intent
- Internal Links
- UX and UI
- Website speed
- Mobile friendliness and mobile-first approach
- Accessibility
- Canonical tags
- Schema implementation
What on page SEO is not?
Everything that you do off your pages - duh. That includes link building, PR, social media, citations, reputation management, and more.
Also, on-page SEO isn’t about spamming; it’s quality optimization that search engines love. You gotta utilize SEO tools properly and follow genuine SEO recommendations. Remember, your SEO content should always be valuable for your audience. Effective on-page SEO makes sure search engine optimization aligns perfectly with Google Search standards.
That doesn’t mean you should only do On Page, and forget about link building. On page is a great foundation, mainly because it’s totally within your control.

HubSpot Website Builder & POP
When you're using HubSpot's awesome website builder, integrating SEO strategies efficiently can make a huge difference. That's where POP comes into play. The SEO guidelines it provides ensure your content is in top shape, and its precise SEO strategy aids you in crafting perfectly optimized content. Many users praise POP for its seamless integration with HubSpot. POP’s detailed recommendations are ideal for getting your SEO team on the same page, enhancing your HubSpot SEO efforts. By using this SEO tool, you can get your marketing hub running efficiently.
In this tutorial, you will be using a combination of both HubSpot Website Builder and POP to do your SEO.
What is POP?
So, what is POP? POP is an advanced SEO software that's designed to make your SEO strategy efficient and effective. By leveraging POP’s robust seo guidelines and tools, you can quickly get seo recommendations tailored to your content. There’s no doubt that POP simplifies the process of SEO for your HubSpot account, giving you the edge with its innovative SEO tools. This seo software fits seamlessly into HubSpot's platform, ensuring your SEO efforts are not just efficient but also highly effective.
POP is an incredibly valuable on page SEO tool, perfect for beginners, taking the guesswork out of creating web pages for search engines such as Google. Just input the ‘keyword’ or phrase you want to rank and let POP create an easy to follow SEO plan for your HubSpot website, but I’ll be showing you the step-by-step.
Why use POP?
⚠️You do not HAVE to use POP for your on page SEO. But in my opinion, you should.
Why? POP uses an advanced algorithm to calculate precisely what the winning competitor pages in Google are doing to win their on page SEO and get top Google rankings.
POP will score your page out of 100, against your top Google competitors and then create a perfect content ‘recipe’ for your page.
It will then help you create or update the page content in a best-practice, SEO manner.
If you use POP and follow the instructions it is almost guaranteed you will start to see an increase in impressions, ranking keywords and traffic to the page within a few weeks.
If you do not want to use POP, I would advise you to place your ‘keyword’ or phrase into the H1 and the Title of the page and preferably in the URL too. I call this the ‘quick & dirty SEO method’. However, this is a bare minimum approach, it’s not scientific and I can not guarantee it will help your traffic.
"Super motivating!"
"My website is just a couple of months old, so it’s in the sandbox period. I had written an article about a phrase related to sales using memberships. The first attempt at the article was nowhere near the first 5 pages on Google; in fact, I could not find it at all though it had been indexed. I ran the article through POP and it had a score of 15%. I decided to rewrite the entire thing and scored 87%. Within two days of rendering, I found my article ranking #2 for the same phrase. This is super motivating!"

On-Page SEO Process Overview
Ready to amp up your HubSpot game? The on-page SEO process is key for getting your website to rank higher on search engines.
There are 3 parts to the on-page optimization process.
- Score your page's SEO: Run your page through POP (5 minutes). This will score your page for SEO (out of 100) and provide a checklist of recommendations for you to update on your page to improve your SEO score.
- Optimize your content: You can then choose to follow the recommended page updates manually (approx. 1 hour), or with POP AI (approx. 15 minutes). The process is basically the same, just the AI will do the work for you if you choose POP AI.
- Add your optimized content to your website: (10 minutes) If you created your SEO content in POP AI, you will need to transfer that content in to your HubSpot website using your web editor.
And walah! SEO perfection in 30 minutes.
1. Score your page's SEO using POP
To start with, scoring your page's SEO using POP can take your HubSpot's SEO game to the next level.
Login to your HubSpot Website Builder
Login and navigate through to the page you want to SEO. Note: Please login to your web builder using Google Chrome.
Choose a keyword for your page
If you have not done so already, choose a keyword for your page. Let’s say I have a recipe site, I might be optimizing for my ‘Orange Chicken’ recipe, so the keyword I choose might be ‘Best Orange Chicken Recipe’
Now to Run POP on Your Page
Login to POP & select 'On Page Optimization'.
Type in the main keyword you want the page to rank for. You can also add up to 3 other related keywords if you wish.
Select the language and choose a specific region where you want the page to rank.
- Enter the URL of the page you want to optimize.
- Give your page a name that will be visible in the Page Folder (keyword is a good idea).
- Select “Next” and you’ll soon get your Content Brief Optimization Score.
- Feel free to browse through the Content Brief section to check out all the SEO tips for the page you want to rank.
And there you have it! Your POP Page Report!

2. Step-by-step video tutorial on HubSpot Website Builder SEO with POP
Ready to boost your HubSpot website's SEO in no time? Our step-by-step video tutorial shows you how to leverage the SEO power of PageOptimizer Pro. Hit play and master SEO with POP today!
- Open the POP report you created in the previous tutorial.
- Click over AI Writer and click “Start”.
- You have 3 options to choose from when it comes to content generation - POP AI Writer can optimize and rewrite the currently written word count (page length), it can create new, optimized content for the target word count (recommended), or you can select a custom word count.
- There are 6 steps you need to complete to get to the AI Writer finish line.
- Select the target word count and then click “Next”.
- Now you’ll be in “Rich content” section where you can add suggestions for bold terms, italic terms, images, lists, forms, frequently asked questions, and table of contents. Add the quantity of the chosen components and click “Next”.
- Now you can choose your competitors that AI will use as inspiration for writing your optimized content.
Additionally, below the competitors, you can write the tone of your content, the author, and put your brand name in. Click “Next”.
- In the Page title area you can choose if AI should rewrite your titles or not.
- In our case, our “Orange Chicken Recipe” did not have a Page Title so we can’t use the first option ‘Use my title for AI inspiration’. We will choose competitors’ titles for AI inspiration. Click “Generate”.
- Generate sub-headings (H2s and H3s) in the Sub-headings section. You can choose to keep them as is when working on a page that already has them.
- We encourage you to adjust your H2 and H3 subheadings here until you are happy with them. These will form the outline for your page content.
- In the Main content area you can choose AI to rewrite the existing text on your page or to let AI generate new original text. You can also supply POP AI with examples of the text you would like to see on your own page. You can for instance copy paragraphs from your own or a competitors site. POP AI will re-write them to make them original, and optimize the SEO at the same time.
- Click “Generate Main Content”. This step takes less than 5 minutes.
- Now you can ‘Check the Optimization Score’. You should see the score improve to close to 100. This means your page is now SEO optimized.
- Download your optimized content piece. You have 4 options: Plain text, html.txt, .html, and docx.
You can also see an in-depth step-by-step tutorial on using the POP AI writer here in our help center.
3. Add your POP optimized content from POP into your HubSpot page
Once you've used POP to create your optimized content, it's time to integrate it into your HubSpot page.
There are multiple ways to transfer your content from POP AI to your HubSpot page. The first way is to open the AI Writer, download the article and transfer it to your site - just follow the previous step above.
The second way is to download your content as plain .txt or html.txt. Here’s how to do it:
- Download .html from POP AI Writer to cover all the bases since you can open these documents as a local host in your Chrome browser.
- Once downloaded, this is how it would look like opened in local host. Here you can check how your paragraphs, strong tags, headings and other types of rich content will appear.
- If HubSpot allows access to the html backend, you can copy-paste the html directly.
- The easier way for most people is to just copy and paste the text directly from the browser into your editor in HubSpot Website Builder.
4. Check the content using the POP Chrome Extension
Once you've optimized your HubSpot content, we want to ensure that the amazing SEO you did inside the POP AI is reflecting on your actual web page.
