Find the Partner that’s Right for You with a Refreshed Solutions Directory

With more than 86,000 customers from more than 120 countries across the globe and (not to mention HubSpot’s expanding product lines), your needs as HubSpot customers grow more diverse by the day. In parallel, our partner community has grown beyond just marketing agencies to businesses focused on a wide range of solutions. While our partners have bent and flexed over the years to meet new demand, our Solutions Directory has remained stagnant. 

The Solutions Directory consists of 4,700+ company profiles and 10,500 reviews. Previously, it was a challenge to sort through the thousands of options to find the partner that was the perfect fit for you.

 

Because we’re HubSpot, we decided that wasn’t a good enough customer experience for you. We set off on a journey to build a framework into the directory that scales as our partner types expand. We’re moving towards a future where you can make more educated decisions on partnerships with the help of authentic reviews and earned credentials that signal a partner or provider’s track record in that area of specialty.

 

At INBOUND 2020, we announced significant updates to the Solutions Directory that we’ve been rolling out over the past few months. The end goal of these updates is simple: to make it easier for you, our customers, to find the right partner for your needs. Here is a roundup of the most impactful changes made so far.

 

A Redesigned Solutions Directory Homepage

The directory storefront was redesigned and brought onto the HubSpot product stack. Changes  included redesigned filters and profile cards, emphasized search functionality in the page header for customers, and new sorting functionality.

Redesigned Profile Pages

Profile pages were redesigned and brought into the HubSpot product stack to match the look and feel of our other HubSpot marketplace, the App Marketplace.

Upgraded Review Security

Anyone who wants to leave a review for a business in the Solutions Directory now needs to log into HubSpot, rather than LinkedIn. With this shift away from LinkedIn, we also no longer link to a reviewer’s LinkedIn profile in their review. This change helps add authenticity to our review system.

 

Streamlined Listing Flow for Service Providers

Service providers now experience a more streamlined listing flow. This new listing flow includes a more informative empty state, preview functionality and a new UI that’s consistent with the App Marketplace process.

 

Set Office as “Remote” or Provide Full Address

As part of the new streamlined listing flow, providers are also now able to distinguish if they’re a fully remote company or if they have physical offices, or choose to add a full street address. If they choose to add a full street address, their addresses are confirmed with the Google Maps API. Both physical offices and remote locations are now included in filtered location results and city pages.

 

“Service Provided” Field in Reviews

Reviewers can now choose which services they received from the service provider they’re reviewing out of the same list of services that providers can choose to include on their profile. Users will be able to choose from any services on the list, not just the ones that the providers have on their profile. This information won’t be displayed publicly with the review. If we choose to display it publicly in the future, we’ll notify partners before doing so.
