5 Signs That You Need a HubSpot Audit

By Pete Gavin 2 Minute Read

If you're new to HubSpot, we know it can be overwhelming. Don't worry, I've been there! I was once new to HubSpot as well. The "all-in-one marketing software" will be a game-changer for your company, however, there isn't a magic button to make it all happen immediately (unfortunately). So before you dive into the deep end of your hubs, you need to have a strategy. This is where a HubSpot audit comes in.

What is a HubSpot Audit?

A HubSpot audit is a comprehensive review of your entire account. It analyzes every tool and identifies areas for improvement to optimize your sales, marketing, and service processes. Conducting a comprehensive portal audit unveils insights, enhances processes, and identifies avenues for improvement and optimization. Maximize your outcomes with an audit that propels you toward success.

A messy CRM translates to messy sales and marketing. Unreliable data, disorganized files, and duplicated information can waste time, resources, and lead to missed opportunities. Here are ways an audit can help: 

  • Identify areas where you're excelling
  • Discover opportunities for improvement
  • Learn about underutilized tools that can benefit your business
  • Gain insights on how to streamline workflows and processes

Who Needs an Audit?

Everyone who uses HubSpot can benefit from an audit, especially if you fall into any of these categories below:

  1. You're New to HubSpot.
  2. You’re a HubSpot user but are missing conversion opportunities.
  3. Your CRM contacts, lists, emails and workflows are disorganized.
  4. You're facing technical issues or reporting that looks wrong.
  5. You’re growing your marketing efforts and want to take advantage of more features.

What's the Process?

The specific audit will vary depending on your HubSpot package, but it typically covers all the tools within your CRM, sales, marketing, and service hubs. Here's a general breakdown:

  • CRM: Lists, workflows, sequences, forms, landing pages, files, templates
  • Sales Hub: Custom objects, templates, sequences, tasks, emails, snippets, files
  • Marketing Hub: Campaigns, forms, CTAs, emails, buyer personas, blogs
  • Service Hub: Conversations, tickets, knowledge base, automation, feedback surveys
