Enhancing Marketing with HubSpot AI

There are quite a few ways you can use AI in HubSpot.

Blog Post Generation

HubSpot’s AI tools simplify content creation, particularly for blogs. To get started, navigate to Marketing > Website > Blog and click the "Generate Blog Post" button. Here’s how it works:

1. Select a Topic: Input a topic, such as "How can attending INBOUND 2023 help you and your team grow your business?"

3. Outline Creation: The AI generates an SEO-optimized outline, including the title, description, and paragraph headers.
4. Content Generation: Click "Generate Blog Post," and the AI creates a full blog post. You can fine-tune the content, change the tone, and add a conclusion using the AI tool.

Metadata and Images

HubSpot AI also helps optimize your blog’s metadata and visuals:
