Use HubSpot's URL redirects tool to redirect traffic between URLs on your domain. You can choose standard redirects for one-to-one redirection or flexible redirects to update URL structures. To add a redirect:
Open your HubSpot Account settings
Begin by accessing your HubSpot account settings, the central hub where you manage various aspects of your HubSpot tools and configurations. These settings provide the control and customization needed to enhance your website's performance and user experience.
Go to Website > Domains & URLs
Within the expansive range of HubSpot features, find the "Website" section integral to shaping your online presence. Once inside, navigate further into the "Domains & URLs" subsection, where you wield the power to manage the URLs associated with your website domains.
