HubSpot Audit: Step by Step Guide to do Your Own HubSpot Audit

A HubSpot audit is a comprehensive overview of your portal, which will help you find out exactly what might be causing an issue, so you can address it. You can also proactively see which tools and/or features you are not using and start using them for a much better utilisation of your HubSpot portal.
If you are using HubSpot, chances are you are running into one or two issues. And chances are you are running into hundreds. Sometimes, these issues can cause significant problems for your operations and really cause you a lot of troubles.
