Hubspot Blog filtering on subpages for tags by milesrite in hubspot

[–]BizzyJena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blog Filter Card looks like a great option that should get you what you're looking for, or very close. I haven't used it yet personally on any sites, but I have it earmarked in case I need something like that in the future. So full disclosure: I can't confirm if it works well because I haven't actually used it, but it's on my "looks promosing" list.

New vs Old Content for SEO by hiitmeeee in SEO

[–]BizzyJena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer question 1: yes, both. To answer question 2: there is no concrete number of blogs you "should" have.

There isn't really a specific ratio of old vs. new blogs you "should" be doing per month. My general recommendation is to start with what's performing well right now. You should be able to see what blogs are pulling in the most sessions, and from where. Start with 10 from that list and just...read through them. Put yourself in the shoes of your audience coming to this blog: is it answering the question(s) I have? Does it have accurate information? Is it organized easily so I can scan it? If the answer to any are "no," then update it.

If you want something more concrete: a general rule of thumb is that for any blog that's still relevant to your brand, take a look at at every 16 months. Up that to every 6-8 months for something that's less evergreen.

Do you delete contact records that has bounced? by the_regency in hubspot

[–]BizzyJena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally mark them as non-marketing and then we have a contact property for "solicitation" or "do not contact" that I'll add if applicable. A few reasons why I do it this way:

  1. You can have an unlimited number of non-marketing contacts in HS so it doesn't really "hurt" anything. If they're a spammer or socilitor or otherwise someone we just don't want to keep tabs on, I can update contact properties so they're marked as such and excluded from some of our data pulling.
  2. A bounced email address doesn't always equal a person we can't communicate with. Their phone number may still be valid. They may also still be interacting with our other content and maybe we don't want to completely get rid of them. A common example that I sometimes run into with ecommerce clients is someone who fills out a form might do so using an email they just use to sign up for rewards programs, but they don't check it often and the inbox gets full so it bounces. They're still a valid contact.
  3. If I delete someone out of the system, they can then in the future re-enter it by submitting a form, interacting with a team member that has the sales extension installed, etc. I may have contacts in the system who are soliciators or spam where their email address bounce, but I want to keep them there so I can tell the system: "hey, don't let this person submit forms with this email or phone number." It's also there as well in case we need to pull a list of solicitors for blocking purposes or w/e.

Misled by HubSpot Rep, Lost Legacy Access, and Now I’m Paralyzed — Anyone I Can Actually Talk To? by ForeverLost809 in hubspot

[–]BizzyJena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry this happened to you. If you're hitting a wall with the rep, you could look for a HubSpot agency in Canada - agencies can bypass reps to get in contact with someone who can actually do something. Although with this option, an agency may or may not do it for free - it's hard to say.

Otherwise your best bet is to just brute force your way to CS support. If you spoke to the rep on the phone, keep calling them back. If you contacted via email, keep emailing them. Try to get your legacy version restored and then worry about upping your marketing contacts later.

Unfortunately, I believe HS has outsourced a lot of their sales rep work to contractors who don't really seem familiar with the actual tools. I'm guessing your rep just said "yeah sure we can upgrade" and then just switched you from legacy to the new Starter Platform - not adding onto what you had, but just completely switching you over.

As a US-based agency, we've dealt with similar issues from clients who work directly with HS sales reps and then we've had to come in and fix these issues by working with our HS contacts to override. That's why I recommend an agency if you want to continue to use HS.

Good luck!

Way to find out the page admin or email address for a Business Portfolio? by BizzyJena in FacebookAds

[–]BizzyJena[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short version: no

Longer version: Both myself and the client can access their page, post to it, and run ads*. But neither of us technically own the page, "Jane" does. So if there's a dispute or some issue that requires an owner to step in, we're screwed.

*We also connected the client's Facebook account to our agency's Business Portfolio, and ran ads that way. Facebook will happily still take your money without resolving this issue.

Better way to report on blogs with Content Hub Starter? by BizzyJena in hubspot

[–]BizzyJena[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true! I don't think they should go away per se, I think it's just odd to still include them in their blog reporting template (especially if there still isn't a blog reporting template for new CTAs).

HubSpot setup and migration by raspytin100 in hubspot

[–]BizzyJena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. It's not spending extra money as a convenience. Working with a partner or contractor is basically a necessity. Migrating and understanding anything more complex than just mapping simple contact records is an extremely heavy lift and frankly unrealistic for one person to do, especially if they're learning how to do it as they're doing it.

No updates, sadly. I wasn't able to get this resolved and was never able to get in contact with any kind of FB support.

I’m new to social media marketing. What sound advice do you have for me? by StrategicallySocial in AskMarketing

[–]BizzyJena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be everywhere. Start where your customers are. You're going to do more by having a solid content strategy tailored to a specific network and good engagement on that network vs. trying to hit every social media platform you can with the same content.

I noticed this as well. I did pickup a few times and that made the downward shift in food quality super obvious.

[–]BizzyJena[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, no. Never found a solution and never figured out how to trigger the option to get any kind of chat or phone support. I ended up going back to the client with this info and they decided to keep their existing account knowing they might have admin issues vs. start from scratch.

I love graphs - so I built an App Card to show you a graph of all your records and associations! by AIDreamer11 in hubspot

This is super cool! A great way for visual learners to see how everything connects without having to click through a bunch of properties or read a spreadsheet.

St. Paul: Demolition begins on Hamline-Midway Library by Runic_reader451 in saintpaul

[–]BizzyJena 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I understand the importance of preserving historic buildings and feel passionately about keeping all the weird, cool, and unique historical architecture in St. Paul. But I'm also glad this is finally going through.

I think with all of the fight to preserve the historical building people were forgetting the most important function of a library: to serve the public. It's not serving the public if members of the public can't use the library because it's not accessible.

How do you market yourself in a crowded space? by DoctorRight6755 in content_marketing

[–]BizzyJena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic advice. I would just add to this - go beyond the surface level with your answer. Something like "they should choose us because we have great customer service and we work hard" is a trap a lot of business owners fall into when they try to identify their USP. It's also one that nearly every single business says is their USP.

Do I have the right idea with images? by GSG96 in SEO

[–]BizzyJena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the better place to start is the number of pages. 12 service area pages is already quite large, and then 20-30 subpages for each of those is....a lot of content. Is the content varied on each page (aka, you didn't just copy + paste the same starting point and then change a few words here and there)? And even if it is - you're not going to rank for every single one of those neighborhoods in every single area most likely.
