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.
In this blog, we’re taking a look at a pretty easy and basic HubSpot audit you can do with your own HubSpot portal. Let’s get going!

But if you want to do it, you have to make sure that the software is running well, and you can use this section to hubspot audit your Sales Hub!

HubSpot’s Service Hub provides a lot more than just tickets, it lets you do pretty much everything in Sales Hub Professional, plus it lets you access the Survey functionalities of HubSpot, and also the Customer Portal and Knowledge Base as well.
In order to accurately use all these functionalities, you might need a HubSpot agency that will navigate these waters for you. But you can check whether you need them or not by doing this part of the audit!
