What is a HubSpot partner agency?
HubSpot Partner Agencies are companies that are experienced in providing sales and marketing services using the HubSpot platform. These agencies provide various services like SEO, paid marketing, marketing automation, content marketing, web design, social media marketing and more.
These agencies work on the inbound marketing methodology to provide growth to their client’s businesses.
HubSpot provides an Agency Partner Certification that these agencies are required to pass, to prove their team is capable of advising clients on their use of HubSpot.
This means you can assure as a business that you’re working with an agency or going to work with an agency that knows all the details of the HubSpot software.
Each HubSpot Partner is ranked according to HubSpot’s tier system. Here is a quick explanation.
What is HubSpot’s tier system?
HubSpot launched the HubSpot partner tier program in 2011 with the purpose of creating a system that recognizes and rewards partners that grow their own client portfolio by selling the HubSpot software.
According to this system, HubSpot divides its partners into 4 levels;
- Elite
- Diamond
- Platinum
- Gold
HubSpot uses defined metrics to evaluate the level of a solution provider— monthly sold and managed recurring revenue (MRR), retention, and software engagement.
