Shot 2: HubSpot Feature/Tip of the Week

Using the Competitor Manager: https://app.hubspot.com/competitors/
A quick tip for people who may have forgotten about it

HubSpot has a ton of tools that are easy to forget about. We might look at the Keyword tool in a future episode

Shot 3: Challenge of the Week

HubSpot COS scenario - wanting to have 2 web sites using the Website Add-on

HubSpot COS = HubSpot Website Platform
On average, customers who use the HubSpot Website Platform to power their inbound marketing generate 10-20% more traffic than marketers using another CMS. Find out how.

Consumer behaviour
