Before working with us, Oakgate had a fundamental problem; they wanted to use HubSpot for content marketing but had absolutely no infrastructure to work with:

  • No Blog Templates Existed: Oakgate had no blog page templates in their HubSpot account. This meant they couldn't publish any blog content to attract property owners or educate potential guests about their vacation rental services.
  • Disconnected Brand Identity: While they had a professional website at oakgateco.com and brand guidelines, none of this was reflected in their HubSpot setup. Their CRM looked completely different from their main website, creating a disjointed experience.
  • Missing Template Foundation: They needed multiple types of content templates—blog posts for SEO, pillar pages for topic authority, and landing pages for lead generation—but had none of these essential building blocks.
  • Manual Workarounds: Without proper templates, any content creation would require starting from scratch each time, making consistent branding and efficient content production nearly impossible.
