Best Practice for Contact and Company Removal

We have a lot of contacts that come through that are tests, or incorrectly spelt.

We also have a lot of companies created automatically because of the setting that creates companies from the emails domain. I want to keep this function on as I do not want to have to manually associate contacts to companies. I have asked hubspot and you cannot have one without the other currently.

If there a best practice for removal of contacts and companies from hubspot? What should be considered when determining it is ok to remove contacts and companies in large numbers.


When it comes to removing contacts and companies from HubSpot, it’s essential to establish a clear process to ensure you maintain data integrity while cleaning up your database. Best practices include regularly reviewing and identifying duplicates, such as test contacts or incorrectly spelled entries, and setting criteria for removal like inactivity over a certain period or invalid email addresses.
