Turning "Salesforce alternative" searches into same-day demos

What if HubSpot could personalize their website for every high-intent Google search—so visitors see messaging that matches exactly what they searched for?

This is what that would look like with newmode.

The Scenario

HubSpot runs Google Ads targeting competitors:

  • "Salesforce alternative"
  • "Salesforce too expensive"
  • "HubSpot vs Salesforce"
  • "CRM for small business"

Each search signals different intent. But today, they all land on the same generic page.

The Campaign

1:Few personalization by search intent. Each keyword group gets its own website experience—powered by UTM parameters.

Search: "Salesforce alternative"

Ad:

"The Salesforce Alternative That Doesn't Require a Consultant"

Website headline:

"HubSpot: The CRM Salesforce Users Switch To"

Website subheadline:

"No consultants. No six-month implementations. Just a CRM that works out of the box."

Body:

"Salesforce users tell us the same thing: too complex, too expensive, too slow to change. HubSpot gives you enterprise power without the enterprise overhead."

Search: "Salesforce too expensive"

Ad:

"Enterprise CRM Without the Enterprise Price Tag"

Website headline:

"Cut Your CRM Costs by 60%"

Website subheadline:

"HubSpot gives you what Salesforce charges extra for, included in every plan."

Body:

"No per-seat surprises. No add-on fees for reporting. Transparent pricing that scales with you, not against you."

The Transformation

Same product. Different message. Matched to intent.

Before: Generic
Generic HubSpot page with headline 'Where go-to-market teams go to grow'
  • • "HubSpot Customer Platform"
  • • "Where go-to-market teams go to grow"
  • • "Unite marketing, sales, and customer service on one AI-powered customer platform that delivers results fast."
  • • One website for all visitors
After: Personalized
Personalized HubSpot page with headline 'HubSpot: The CRM Salesforce Users Switch To'
  • "HubSpot: The CRM Salesforce Users Switch To"
  • "No consultants. No six-month implementations. Just a CRM that works out of the box."
  • Pain point addressed directly
  • Tailored experience for each search intent

Why It Works

1

Intent recognition

The visitor searched for a Salesforce alternative. The page immediately validates that intent.

2

Pain acknowledgment

"Too complex, too expensive" addresses the frustration that drove the search.

3

Continuity from ad

The ad promised an alternative. The website delivers comparison—not a generic pitch.
