Do you recommend or allow using Hubspot?

ANSWER: You can use Hubspot anytime you wish, all that is needed usually is a few DNS records to be added to your domain zone. That being said, we highly recommend avoiding Hubspot for several reasons. While this topic is best addressed in a separate blog post, to summarize we would argue that Hubspot is a “one size fits none” sort of service that is mass-marketed to small business owners as an “end all” solution to digital needs, when in reality it can severely penalize your website as far as SEO and search engine reputation goes. While certain features, such as their CRM, are more standardardized and similar to services such as InfusionSoft or SalesForce, several of their other features are extremely poor, with a special nod to the blogging platform.
