HubPages is an American user-generated online publishing platform developed by Paul Edmondson that was launched in 2006. HubPages acquired its main competitor, Squidoo, in 2014. In 2018 Seattle-based content company The Maven, Inc. acquired HubPages, and went on to rebrand as The Arena Group in 2021.[1] The company is headquartered in San Francisco.
Though the content is user-generated and owned, the editorial staff and engineers are responsible for managing, editing, moderating, and publishing articles across the two dozen network sites.[2][non-primary source needed] The network sites focus on niche content that ranges from topics like automobiles and travel to beauty and pets.[citation needed]
