Businesses need ways to support different audiences - whether because they have multiple products, brands, or varying customer needs. Answers can be challenging to find if they are all in one place, which generates customer confusion and avoidable customer support volume. With Service Hub Enterprise, accounts can now create multiple Knowledge Bases, making their articles more targeted to their specific customer segments and needs.
