7 Reasons HubSpot Agency Different From Other Agencies?

Written by Sam Meza | July 6, 2021

Turn to HubSpot partner agencies for efficient HubSpot onboarding, insider access to HubSpot’s best resources, and the expertise to earn maximum ROI from your HubSpot investment.


Your investment in HubSpot is substantial. Anyone putting such resources into their software will want confidence that they can get the best possible bang for their buck. That’s why there’s no partner like a HubSpot partner. Let’s take a look at the seven reasons HubSpot partner agencies stand head and shoulders above the pack.

1. Faster, Cheaper HubSpot Onboarding

There are three kinds of fees that you would normally pay to work with an agency and also use HubSpot: the fees for your inbound marketing agency, the HubSpot software, and the onboarding process with HubSpot. Each fee is independent of the rest. The HubSpot onboarding fees can look pretty pricey—at $3,000 for Marketing Pro and $6,000 for Marketing Enterprise—but they’re often seen as a cost of doing business when you’re gaining access to a supercar-level marketing, sales, and service platform.  But they don’t have to be.

You save a ton of money by onboarding with a HubSpot partner, because certified partner agencies can waive the normal onboarding fee and assist you with the onboarding process themselves. Better yet, a partner agency will actually manually handle all manner of tasks that traditional HubSpot onboarding (through HubSpot support) will not. The regular HubSpot onboarding fee buys you recurring meetings with a HubSpot rep, but it’s much more DIY-oriented. You’ll get guidance and helpful educational resources from the HubSpot team and need to manage the actual onboarding tasks internally.

HubSpot partner agencies will actively take work off your plate by connecting subdomains, migrating content from old platforms, setting up chatbots, importing external email lists, hooking up your social media accounts, customizing/optimizing all of your HubSpot portal attributes and settings for your industry needs or brand identity, and more. This accelerates onboarding while saving you a large chunk of change in the long run vs. other marketing agencies.
