A to Z of Marketing: H = Hubspot

The A to Z of marketing is designed to give you a flavour of the multitude of components that need to be considered when marketing  a business.  This week we look at H = hubspot.

Hubspot?  What is Hubspot? Well it is actually a very natural follow on from last week’s blog about Google.  Hubspot is a company which specialises in inbound marketing – driving customers to enquire to you rather than you selling to prospects.

Hubspot offer a couple of useful free online tools which can give you an insight to how well your website is performing, from a technical perspective, and also how effective your online marketing is, in comparison to your competitors.  In effect it is a free resource to benchmark how you are performing and to highlight areas where you could improve things.

Take a look at the following:

• Website Grader
• Marketing Grader
• Tweet Grader

These handy tools take a look at the structure of your site in the same way that Google would view it – so it looks at all the tagging, the number of incoming links of authority, the way you have titled pages and connected social media accounts and blogs.

Basically take a look at these sites and analyse your performance within a few seconds.  It may highlight a few areas that you can easily address to improve your online performance!
