In the dynamic realm of digital marketing, optimizing landing page effectiveness is pivotal for success. A valuable tool for achieving this is A/B Testing. 

This article delves into the nuances of A/B Testing—what it entails, the benefits it offers, and why its implementation on HubSpot landing pages is paramount.

What is A/B Testing?


A/B Testing is also known as split testing. It’s a technique involving the comparison of two different versions of a webpage to determine which performs better. 

In the context of HubSpot landing pages, this involves creating variations of a page and measuring how visitors respond to each. 

There are many benefits of split testing, like: 

  • Continuous Optimization: A/B Testing facilitates the ongoing refinement of landing pages, adapting them to user preferences and behaviors.
  • Conversion Enhancement: Identify elements—from design to calls-to-action (CTAs)—positively influencing conversions.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making: Real-time data collection enables informed decisions about page design and content.

How to use HubSpot’s A/B Testing


A/B Testing is available to users with Marketing Hub or CMS Hub with a Professional or Enterprise subscription.

You can run an A/B test on any published page on elements, such as:

  • Headings
  • Body Copy
  • Images
  • Fonts and Colors
  • Navigation
  • Form Fields
  • Content Offers

To create a split test, log into HubSpot, then navigate to your content:

  • Navigate to Marketing > Landing Pages.
  • Hover over a page, then click Edit.
  • Click the File menu and select Run a test > A/B test
  • In the dialog box, click Next.
  • Enter a name for each page variation, then click Create variation
  • Finally, in the content editor, update the content for your page variation.
