Question: You have a top-performing blog post that you want to republish. Which platforms should you republish it to?
- As many websites as possible; the more sites the more impressions the content will receive.
- Only websites that you have partnerships with as you won’t have to pay for it.
- Only sites that are relevant to your business and industry.
- You shouldn’t republish content because you’ll have duplicate content issues.
Explanation
HubSpot treats republishing as content syndication, which works best when the content appears in places that attract a similar audience. It recommends choosing publications whose readership aligns with your buyer persona and whose authority fits your niche. HubSpot also warns that choosing the wrong websites can hurt SEO performance and brand results. That makes relevance to the business and industry the key factor, not the number of sites or the cost of access. HubSpot Blog+1
