HubSpot is a robust platform for website development, content management, and inbound marketing. Here are some of the best reasons to move websites to HubSpot if you still haven't. When you integrate it into some of the most powerful marketing apps, it becomes something else entirely. Just like Batman, a genuinely devoted superhero who doesn’t have superpowers, but when Mr. Fox gives him the right gadgets, he can glide, block bullets, and kill aliens too.
HubSpot Marketplace is loaded with hundreds of marketing apps that marketers can integrate with their HubSpot platform to up their marketing game. I am listing out the best HubSpot integrations for better Marketing.
1. CallRail
CallRail is a Call Tracking and Marketing Analytics Software. Users can track calls, manage all the leads, automate calls using AI-powered tech, connect all the leads from web and phone to the marketing platform.
When marketers integrate CallRail with HubSpot, all calls and text message activities are synced with HubSpot. Marketers can view lead activities, inbound phone calls, build and manage automated workflows to activate phone calls based on events.
Call Tracking and Analytics: Automatically track customer’s activity right from the beginning of the journey. Share all the tracking data with HubSpot so the marketers can segment and choose action accordingly.
Online and Offline Tracking: Once the sync is complete between the software, the marketing representatives can track their offline and online marketing efforts to know which ones are giving good results and which need some tweaking.
Optimization and Workflows: As CallRail’s ‘Calls’ become ‘Analytics’ in the Data Flow, marketers can better evaluate CallRail’s calls in HubSpot and optimize their further efforts accordingly.

3. Salesforce
Salesforce – HubSpot marketing integration is bi-directional. Share sales, marketing leads, deals, email opens, website activity, form submissions, among other fields, from one platform to another. It helps you manage the lead-contract process and over-customer management, keeping track of customer communications. Marketing teams can choose what to share what to block to make the integration work best for their business process.
Marketers can automate the lead management process because two platforms share valuable lead intelligence information. They can separately view sales and marketing activity and take time to understand the data model, which ultimately improves their Sales and Marketing Activities, respectively. Clients manage all their marketing through HubSpot and Sales through Salesforce.
The integration process itself is easy. It just takes minutes and doesn’t require hardcore technical knowledge.

Search terms on which a website gets the most visits, most clicks, website position on particular keywords, among other parameters, are displayed in Google search results.
HubSpot Analytics tool is strong in itself for website performance, but having Google search console by its side will double up the data. Marketers may also find the difference in data from both tools. That happens because the definitions of parameters in both tools are slightly different.
