“You don’t need a data scientist to understand your marketing. HubSpot’s dashboards turn numbers into insights, so you can make smarter decisions, fast.”

Why Analytics Feels Out of Reach for Small Teams

If you’re running a small business or agile team, the idea of diving into marketing analytics can feel overwhelming. Most small teams don’t have the luxury of a dedicated data analyst, let alone time to wrangle spreadsheets or master complex tools. But understanding what’s working in your marketing isn’t just for big companies—it’s essential for growth at every stage.

Common Challenges:

  • Limited Time & Resources: Your team is busy. There’s no bandwidth for custom spreadsheet formulas or complicated integrations.
  • No Technical Expertise: You might not have someone fluent in SQL, Tableau, or Python, but you still need to know which campaigns are driving leads and revenue.
  • Fragmented Tools: Using separate platforms for email, social, and your website makes it tough to get a unified view of your marketing performance.
