The basics

What Exactly is HubSpot?

HubSpot is a CRM platform that organisations use to manage and connect their marketing, sales, service and content management work.

At its core, HubSpot puts all of these processes into a single system, with a shared database and one interface for every department. Instead of working in silos, your teams work from the same source of truth.

How it works

How Does the HubSpot System Work?

HubSpot centralises your data and processes. It automates tasks and connects workflows across departments. For example:

Marketing tracks leads and campaign performance in real time.
Sales manages the pipeline and customer interactions.
Service tracks customer enquiries and handles support.
Content creators manage website pages, blogs and landing pages.

This real-time connection improves accuracy, productivity and decision-making. See how we set it up in HubSpot implementation.

Modules

Core Modules of HubSpot (The Hubs)

A typical HubSpot system includes several core Hubs that can be used on their own or together.

Marketing Hub

SEO tools, blogging, social media management, email marketing, landing pages and marketing automation.

Sales Hub

CRM, sales automation, email sequences, meeting scheduling, sales analytics and quotes.

Service Hub

Customer service, ticketing, live chat, knowledge base and customer feedback surveys.

CMS Hub (Content Management System)

Website building, blog hosting, landing page creation and SEO recommendations.

Operations Hub

Data sync, data quality automation and programmable automation.

HubSpot’s modular design lets you start with what you need and add Hubs as you grow. To connect HubSpot with your accounting system, see HubSpot financials integration.

Sizing

HubSpot for Different Business Sizes

Small business. Start with HubSpot’s free CRM and move to Starter Hubs when you need to manage basic marketing, sales and service.
Mid-market. Consider the Professional editions of Marketing, Sales and Service Hubs for advanced automation and reporting.
Enterprise. Choose Enterprise editions for extensive customisation, advanced analytics and deeper integrations.

The key is choosing an edition that fits the complexity of your business and its future growth.

Selection

Choosing the Right HubSpot Solution

Define your needs. Start with the pain points: what is broken today in your marketing, sales or service processes?
Plan the investment. Account for the Hubs, edition and add-ons you will need.
Evaluate the options. Compare the features of each Hub and edition against your requirements.
Check references. Ask for customer stories from businesses similar to yours.
Plan for change management. Implementing HubSpot is a change to how the business works, not only a software install.
