How to Insert and Manage Anchor Links in Hubspot

Using anchors in Hubspot pages and blog posts lets visitors jump directly to the information they need, improving navigation, user experience, and on-page engagement.

This guide walks you step by step through creating, editing, and removing anchor links in the Hubspot drag-and-drop page editor and blog editor.

What Are Anchor Links in Hubspot?

An anchor (or jump link) is a link that scrolls the visitor to a specific section of the same page instead of loading a new page.

In a Hubspot page or blog post, an anchor link is made of two parts:

• The anchor itself – the target location on the page.
• The anchor link – the clickable text or button that scrolls to that anchor.

Anchors are especially useful for:

• Long-form blog content with many sections.
• Product or feature pages with multiple modules.
• FAQ pages where each question jumps to an answer.

Hubspot Requirements and Limitations

Before creating anchors, keep these Hubspot specifics in mind:

• Anchors work within the same page or post. For different pages, link to a URL with the anchor appended.
• Anchor names should be unique on the page and contain only URL-safe characters.
• Anchors created in rich text or headings are case-sensitive when used in manual links.

If you need strategic help beyond platform basics, you can also review additional resources from specialist Hubspot consultants.

How to Add Anchors in the Hubspot Page Editor

The drag-and-drop website and landing page editor in Hubspot lets you add anchors using rich text modules or specific anchor options in some templates.

Step 1: Open Your Hubspot Page

1. In your Hubspot account, go to Marketing > Website and choose Website pages or Landing pages.
2. Find the page where you want to add anchors.
3. Click the page name, then select Edit to open the drag-and-drop editor.

Step 2: Insert an Anchor in a Rich Text Module

To create a target section in the Hubspot editor:

1. Click the rich text module that contains the heading or text you want to anchor.
2. Highlight the text where the visitor should land (often a section heading).
3. In the toolbar, click the Insert or Advanced options (depending on your template) and choose Anchor.
4. Enter a short, descriptive anchor name (for example, pricing or features).
5. Save the module.

Hubspot will add a hidden anchor at that exact position in the content.

Step 3: Create the Anchor Link in Hubspot

Now create the link that scrolls to the anchor you just defined:

1. Select the text or button that you want visitors to click.
2. Click the Link icon in the toolbar.
3. In the link options, choose Anchor on this page (or similar wording depending on your theme).
4. Pick the anchor name from the dropdown list or type it in exactly as created.
5. Confirm and apply the link.

When visitors click this link on your Hubspot page, the view scrolls smoothly to the anchored section.

How to Add Anchors in the Hubspot Blog Editor

The process is very similar when building blog posts inside Hubspot.

Step 1: Open Your Blog Post

1. In Hubspot, navigate to Marketing > Website > Blog.
2. Locate the blog article you want to edit.
3. Click the title, then choose Edit.

Step 2: Add an Anchor to a Heading

Most Hubspot blog posts use headings to define sections, which are ideal anchor targets.

1. Click inside the blog editor where your heading text is located.
2. Highlight the heading or line to anchor.
3. Click the Insert or Anchor tool in the formatting toolbar.
4. Enter a clear anchor name (for example, top, faq, or contact-section).
5. Save your changes.

Step 3: Insert the Hubspot Anchor Link in the Blog

1. Go to the table of contents area or any place where you want a jump link.
2. Highlight the text that visitors should click.
3. Click the Link icon.
4. Select the option to link to an Anchor on the current post.
5. Choose the anchor name you created earlier and apply.

This is often used in Hubspot blogs to build a manual table of contents at the top of long articles.

Linking to Anchors from Other Hubspot Pages

You can also link to anchors from a different page, not just within the same Hubspot page.

To do this, use a standard URL link and append #anchor-name to the end:

• https://www.yourdomain.com/your-page#pricing

Make sure the part after # exactly matches the anchor name you created in the target page or blog.

Editing or Removing Anchor Links in Hubspot

Sometimes you will need to rename or delete anchors when updating layouts in Hubspot.

How to Edit an Existing Anchor

1. Open the page or blog post in the Hubspot editor.
2. Locate the section where the anchor was created.
3. Click inside the rich text module or heading.
4. Open the anchor options from the formatting toolbar.
5. Update the anchor name as needed.
6. Review any links that point to this anchor and make sure they use the new name.

Renaming anchors without updating links can cause them to stop working in Hubspot.

How to Remove an Anchor Completely

1. Open the content in the Hubspot page or blog editor.
2. Click the module or heading that contains the anchor.
3. Use the anchor control in the toolbar and choose Remove or delete the anchor reference.
4. Remove or update any related anchor links so visitors do not click a link that no longer has a target.

Troubleshooting Anchor Issues in Hubspot

If an anchor link does not behave as expected in Hubspot, check the following:

• Spelling and case – The anchor name in the link must match exactly.
• Theme or module overrides – Custom modules can change how anchors render.
• Sticky headers – Fixed navigation bars may overlap the anchored content; adjust anchor placement slightly above the heading.
• Preview vs. live – Test anchors on the published Hubspot page, not only in preview mode.
