How We EvaluateHow we evaluate HubSpot partners
The rules behind every record on hsped.
What we check
For each capability, such as SAP integration or Salesforce migration, we look for public evidence that a partner has done that exact work.
Evidence we accept
- Case study: A published client story that names the systems involved and what was built.
- Marketplace app: An app the partner built and lists on the HubSpot App Marketplace.
- Certification: A current HubSpot or vendor certification held by the partner’s team.
- Talk or webinar: A recorded session where the partner explains how it did the work.
- Vendor partnership: A listed partnership with the other system’s vendor, such as SAP or Microsoft.
Three statuses
- Self-described: the partner says it does this, on its own site or directory listing. We have not yet found evidence.
- Evidence found: we found at least one dated, public piece of evidence and link to it.
- Verified: a client confirmed the work to us directly.
What we do not use
Partner tiers measure the HubSpot revenue a partner sources and manages, so we report them but never use them as proof of a capability. See partner tiers explained. We do not accept payment for listings, and partners do not review their records before publication.
Corrections
If a record is wrong, tell us with a link to the right information. We correct records in the open and note the date.
