Curious which of your ads are leading to revenue? Want to know which channel has the highest conversion rate?

UTM parameters allow you to measure and analyze your website conversions at a more granular level, providing marketers a great way to track the effectiveness of their channels, campaigns, and content. 

UTMs provide you with significantly more visibility into your revops metrics. When you capture and report on UTMs in HubSpot, you're able to: 

• Identify the specific assets, ads, and campaigns that are driving the most revenue
• Uncover the source of a specific conversion, i.e. how your prospect got to your website for the specific conversion session
• Enhance your multi-touch attribution

By simply adding hidden fields on your forms and including some additional information in your URL link, you can quickly and easily begin capturing this essential data. 

PLUS Six Examples of Custom Object You Can Make in HubSpot

Does it ever feel like no combination of custom properties, lists, and workflows can solve a particularly important reporting or automation challenge?

Many organizations find themselves in a position where they need to store a significant amount of data unique to their organization and their industry, which cannot be easily managed using custom properties alone.

The solution? Custom objects! These can be created in your HubSpot enterprise portal and can be associated with existing contacts, companies, deals, tickets, and even other custom objects!

HubSpot has a robust and evolving set of reporting tools, built to help you slice and dice your CRM data. These tools let you assemble reports and dashboards that provide valuable insights into your marketing, sales, and customer success teams. Invariably, however, there are always times that pulling your data into a spreadsheet is necessary. The good news - using HubSpot workflows and integrations, you can connect to and populate Google Sheets automatically.

This is a handy feature allows you to funnel your HubSpot data directly into a neat and tidy Google Sheet for analysis. Another benefit is that it makes it much easier to share information with internal and external teams. 

 

Here's how it works. First, you'll connect your Google account and assign HubSpot data to specific columns in your spreadsheet. Each time the action is triggered by your workflow, a row will be added to your Google Sheet, populating data into one or more columns. 

 

Forecasting is one of the "holy grails" in the sales and marketing world. Perfect forecasting affords perfectly timed budget decisions, investments, new hires ... you get the idea.

Sales leaders and executives examine specific data points to drive their business decisions. This type of analysis covers everything from hiring new team members to prioritizing product innovation. Accurately forecasting sales shines light on important data that lets you make effective decisions about hiring, marketing, and growth.

In this post, we'll focus on the four elements you'll need to create an automated forecasting system in HubSpot:

1. Custom properties to track and measure forecast data
2. Workflows to automate data capture and capture time stamps
3. Reports to measure performance and accuracy
4. Team documentation/training to ensure consistent process and data integrity

Marketing and sales teams are swimming in data, and in available tools to collect, analyze, and visualize their data.

But what's most important for marketing and sales teams is often data that's right in front of us, and right within our HubSpot portals. In order to drive growth, it's important to hone in on the most critical data that impacts your bottom line. All that's required is knowing where and how to look for this information.

Here are six key reports you can create in HubSpot to measure the impact of your marketing and sales efforts, along with step-by-step directions on how to create them. 

Smart marketers know that basic marketing metrics (traffic and engagement) on their own provide a narrow view, and only small piece of the puzzle. While useful for optimizing campaigns, they are not necessarily tied to larger business goals and objectives.

Analytics that matter to organization leaders and boards go beyond the basic number of leads generated per quarter or increases in lead conversions. Leads, opportunities, and customers are easy and obvious numbers to focus on, but more important are the metrics that allow companies to track, project and predict growth. This is particularly true when it comes to SaaS (and IaaS, PaaS, FaaS) companies and others with a subscription-based pricing model.

Chances are, you're already familiar with Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR). This is a number that investors care about, which means it is a number that companies care about, which means it is a number that marketers care about. MRR, however, is just scratching the surface of revenue metrics that matter and must be measured.

Lead scoring is an essential part of growing revenue for marketing and sales teams.

A sophisticated lead scoring model can be the difference between a sales team buried under piles of new leads, unable to distinguish a good lead from a bad one, and a team that is effectively and efficiently prioritizing their efforts - and closing more deals as a result.

The time has come. 2019 will be the year of data-driven digital marketing. I can feel it. For years, marketers have had access to an increasing set of digital metrics, and 2019 is going to be the year when digital marketers finally start using their data to make smart, informed analytics decisions that impact revenue growth. 

To get there, you need to begin by understanding which are the most important metrics to track as part of your digital marketing efforts. There is just so much data available to marketers, it can challenging to know where to focus your time and efforts. 

One of the major components of conversion optimization is measuring visitor engagement with your website content, capturing actions like page views, email opens, CTA clicks and form submissions to score and analyze.

While these basic pageview analytics tell us how long a visitor is on a page, they don't tell us what they were doing on a particular page and which specific content they found engaging.

In other words, analyzing page views, CTA clicks, and form submissions only tells part of the story of your visitor's experience, but omits most of the details. Fortunately, there is a tool we can use to measure on-page engagements and visitor actions that lead to conversion - events.

Serious HubSpotters know how to get the most out of HubSpot reporting tools, but they also know that combining other technologies and analytics creates a more comprehensive and actionable landscape.

Knowing which content is sticky enough to engage your audience beyond the landing page produces more conversion opportunities. After deep diving into the data that gives us this insight, we are going to take the time to understand why these campaigns are delivering better results, then look at how to replicate the effective components.

By the end of this post, you'll be able to measure which HubSpot email campaigns produce the most page views and longest time on site on your website.
