[Real Results] Before & After Working a HubSpot Diamond Partner

Posted by Elyse Flynn Meyer | 3 Minutes to Read

There are thousands of companies around the globe using HubSpot. Many of these companies are working with a HubSpot dedicated partner to help them strategize and develop cohesive inbound marketing campaigns to maximize their use of HubSpot. But, most importantly, working with those agencies helps companies drive the marketing results they are looking to achieve. 

If you’re already leveraging HubSpot and are considering an agency, you are probably wondering what value an agency can bring to your organization. We often get asked to show comparable tangible results of companies using HubSpot before working with us as an agency and after working with us as their agency. So, we’ve decided to show you exactly what results you can achieve when you decide to partner with a HubSpot certified agency to maximize your results using the platform.

THE CHALLENGE:

The following company had been using HubSpot for 1.5 years. They did not have formal training aside from the onboarding that comes with the HubSpot software purchase. And while they had worked with a PPC agency without HubSpot experience, they had not worked with a HubSpot certified partner before.  This company used HubSpot for a few landing pages, some social posts, and a few email marketing programs through workflows.

THE PLAN:

Our team did a full marketing audit which included the use of HubSpot, the entire marketing technology stack, lead generation, and customer conversion goals, and assessed their prior campaign and general inbound results. Through this, our team made the following recommendations AND implementations:

  • Migrated blog to HubSpot: When you leverage HubSpot for your blog hosting, you can easily set up email notifications for people to receive your blogs daily, weekly, or monthly based on their requests. In addition, it just helps to have all your web assets on one platform if possible. The results are:
    • 254% increase in blog views
    • 221 new blog subscribers (compared to 0)
  • Moved external landing pages that were hosted on Wordpress to HubSpot: When you have your landing pages hosted on HubSpot, you receive detailed information on the performance of that page, including new contact rate, conversion rate, source of traffic (which is critical to see at the page level), and overall trends over time in all of these areas. This helps you to make more informed marketing decisions. The results are:

    Landing Page Performance
    • 190% increase in landing page views as a result of search engine optimization and link placement throughout their website and blogs
    • 15% increase in submissions
    • 6% increase on view to submission rate
  • Published one lead generating post on social media every other week:  Your followers on social want to hear from you, and they are also interested in your content offers. While you always want to share helpful information, sharing conversion pages for content offers helps your followers move through your funnel. The results are:
    • 440% increase in new leads from social
    • 19% increase in social sessions
    • 88% increase in social media interactions
  • Implemented a batch email strategy to re-engage existing contacts: Email was not widely used by this company. They had a few very targeted workflows, which is good to see when implemented correctly, but batch emails help to re-engage your existing audience. If you don’t engage with your contacts by email, they forget that they opted in and move on to a competitor. By engaging with existing contacts, you reopen the prospect of new opportunities in your pipeline. Remember, just because someone entered your funnel last year does not mean they are not qualified. This may be just the right time for them to reengage, so leverage the tools at your disposal to do just that. The results are:

    Email Marketing
    • 112% increase in opens
    • 181% increase in clicks
    • 1491% increase in email sessions
    • Reengaged 1,204 contacts in email marketing in a 3-period that had not previously engaged in email (this also leveraged send time optimization as part of the batch email marketing strategy. See how to send time optimization works.)
