"SmartBug HubSpot Consulting Review"
4/5
What do you like best about SmartBug Media?

The support provided by Amanda Hurd has been excellent! She’s taken the time to truly understand our needs and demonstrates strong knowledge across various areas of HubSpot. Our company and industry (insurance) are unique, and I’ve been consistently impressed with how well Amanda keeps track of everything. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartBug Media?

Our initial experience with SmartBug was disappointing. Our assigned strategist, Rodrigo Rivas, did not make an effort to understand our use cases or learn about our company, which left him unprepared for meetings and made scheduling a challenge. It took some time and effort to get back on track, but once we transitioned to a new strategist, our experience significantly improved. The new strategist better aligned with our needs and helped us make meaningful progress toward our HubSpot goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Tailored Support and Deep Understanding of Niche Business Use Cases"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SmartBug Media?

The true value is that SBM is willing to work with you to customize a scope of work to fit your needs. Our marketing team is segmented into multiple sub-teams who support different areas of the business. SBM worked with us to incorporate everyone's specific use case into one project, having separate calls and project tracking for each sub team, while still supporting us a whole and keeping our efforts aligned. We always struggle to find this ability in vendors we work with so this is a huge plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartBug Media?

There were a few times throughout our process working with them where we questioned if we were being pushed towards something (adding more hours, purchasing a new Hub) because it was truly needed or because it would bring in more revenue for SBM. However when we wanted to reduce our hours and cut down on the support we were receiving, there was no question and our team worked with us to make sure we were getting the most out of those hours.

"Strategic Problem Solving & Out of the box solutions"
4/5
What do you like best about SmartBug Media?

Smartbug media comes up with creative solutions and "hacking" in Hubspot to solve for our business needs. While Hubspot offers many business solutions, we have unique needs, and Smartbug finds a way to make it work for us, no matter how many "hacks' it takes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartBug Media?

Nothing comes to mind at this point in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like their model of paying for hours and then using them as needed, without any pressure. When I do need help they're always available, responsive, and flexible to work with me.
