HubSpot is a remarkable tool if you know how to use it. This all-in-one marketing platform helps you track customer journeys, attract inbound leads, convert visitors, and close more deals. That said, its size and scope can be daunting for even the more technically skilled businesses.
Between the ever-evolving HubSpot features, platforms, software extensions, and strategic insights needed to support your efforts, it’s hard to know where to invest your time and budget. On top of that, ongoing training and knowledge are necessary to keep your team and systems competitive, but this requires even further hourly and financial commitments.
Even if you manage to become a HubSpot expert, you’ll eventually hit a snag you can’t reconcile. When this happens, you need to know how to contact HubSpot support, when to hire a consultant, and who to turn to when troubleshooting complex HubSpot problems.
In this simple guide, we’ll walk you through the best HubSpot support resources for your business and give you insights into when and how to hire outside help if you need it.
HubSpot has a wide range of resources for customers and consultants alike. From their Knowledge Base to their informative Customer Blog, there are many ways to troubleshoot your HubSpot concerns.
When it comes to more complex or urgent problems, there are multiple ways for businesses to get help from HubSpot experts. Depending on the Hubspot account you hold, here are some ways to find support:
The above resources are great for solving simple software issues, but what should you do if your HubSpot problem goes beyond simply managing the tool? If you’re looking for ways to increase your website visitors, stop exit points within your customer journeys, or optimize your advertising budget, you may need more than a contact number.
HubSpot Academy
If you’re just getting started, HubSpot Academy can help you master the basics of the platform and brush up on your inbound sales and marketing expertise. HubSpot offers free training and certifications in all things digital marketing and sales. Courses are available in six different languages and varying levels and durations.
HubSpot Solutions Directory
For those looking to execute internal strategies, the HubSpot Solutions Directory helps you find HubSpot partner agencies that are trained in your niche. The directory lets you search by service needed, country, and budget. Budget tiers start at $0-$2,500 at the first tier and move up to $5,000+ at the top.

HubSpot agencies
There are several HubSpot agencies---including Major Tom--who can provide full-scale marketing strategies and execution, which includes everything from social media promotion to lead nurturing programs and email automation. This level of service is difficult to recreate internally and is a smart way to scale your inbound marketing efforts.
Freelancers
Outside resources, such as Fiverr and Upwork, can be helpful when supporting small, one-off jobs, such as building simple landing pages or workflows. Keep in mind that this may not be the best solution if your company is looking for someone to handle ongoing strategy or campaign management.
To truly get the most out of HubSpot, you need to master the software alongside your inbound marketing and sales strategies. If you’re not there yet, seeking outside guidance is a great way to help you and your team level up.
HubSpot consultants can help you optimize programs in the HubSpot ecosystem and configure or deploy new features. Whether you are using Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, Service Hub, or HubSpot’s free CRM, a trained consultant can help you get the most out of your tools.
Here are a few reasons you might need a HubSpot consultant:
When hiring a HubSpot consultant, pay attention to certification and experience. HubSpot Academy offers extensive training options for consultants and individuals alike and a strong consultant will keep their certificates updated regularly.
As well, experience is a necessary component of HubSpot success. An effective consultant should be able to provide case studies, references, and valid referrals that speak to their experience. Learn more about Major Tom’s HubSpot consulting, with words from our customers, on our website.
