    Is there a way to edit your hub's web address?

    I accidentally misspelled a word in my hub's web address...now I don't know how, or if it's even possible, to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately there is not a way to edit the web address.  However, it's unlikely your viewers will pay attention to a single misspelled word in the title unless they're ridiculously picky.  Search engine crawlers also record the URL, title, and summary for searches so it won't affect your viewings.

    The only exception is if the misspelled word is the name of something important to your hub or the ridiculously rabid fans of the subject you're writing about.  You probably want to quickly scrap the hub and remake it.

    Delete your hub. Get the url removed from Google's index. And then recreate your hub from starting.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to change you hubs URL/Web a address once published but your hub's web address really don't matter.
    The important is your hub title and you can change it any time and search engine reads only your Hub Title and not even see Hub URL, your hub will be listed in search engine for the keywords in your Title and content and not for hubs URL.
    You can change Title and Correct it for any spelling or grammatical mistakes anytime not bothering about Hub URL

    I personally changed title of most of my hubs, they perform better than before for new keywords in title even URL is same as before. So, if you are bothering that different URL and Hub Title would affect your Hub badly, stop worrying and you can change title.
    Otherwise you can delete and republish hub if you really want to change Hub URL but if your hub is older enough, it may have some negative/positive impact.
