The time it takes to implement HubSpot can vary depending on the complexity of your business and the specific tools and features you want to use. On average, it takes about four to six weeks to complete a basic implementation. Still, it could take longer if you have a large and complex business with many integrations, complex migrations from legacy systems, customizations, or custom web development.

Here are some factors that can impact the duration of a HubSpot implementation project:

• The size and complexity of your business: A larger and more complex business will typically take longer to implement, as there may be more data to import and more systems to integrate.
• The number of tools and features you want to use: The more tools and features you want to use, the longer it will take to set everything up and get it running smoothly.
• The level of customization you require: If you need to customize the platform to fit your specific business processes, it will take longer to implement.
• The availability of your team: The more time and resources your team can devote to the implementation process, the faster it will go.

It's important to remember that implementation is just the first step in getting up and running with HubSpot. Once the platform is set up, there will be ongoing work to use the system and maintain and optimize your campaigns and processes.

Yes, it is possible to implement HubSpot yourself without the help of a professional, but it can be a complex and time-consuming process. Here are some things to consider when deciding whether to handle the implementation yourself or work with a partner:

• Experience and expertise: If you have experience with CRM platforms and marketing automation, you may feel confident tackling the implementation yourself. However, if you are new to these types of tools, it may be more challenging, and you may benefit from the guidance and expertise of an implementation partner.
• Time and resources: Implementing HubSpot can be a time-consuming process, especially if you are new to the platform. If you need more time or resources to devote to the implementation, working with Aspiration Marketing may be a more efficient option.
• The complexity of your business: If you have a large and complex business with many integrations and customizations, it may be more challenging to handle the implementation yourself. In this case, it may be more efficient to work with a professional with experience implementing HubSpot for businesses like yours.

Ultimately, the decision to work with a partner or handle the implementation will depend on your specific needs and resources. Aspiration Marketing is prepared to support you either way, in fully outsourced mode, a blended team, or in consulting mode in the background.  Contact us for specifics.

The cost of HubSpot implementation services varies depending on the complexity of your business and the specific services you need. Here are a few factors that can impact the cost of HubSpot implementation:

• Size and complexity of your business: A larger and more complex business will typically require more time and resources to implement, which can increase the cost.
• Number of tools and features you want to use: The more tools and features you want to use, the more time it will take to set everything up, which can increase the cost.
• Amount of migration required: Depending on the data, processes, automation, etc. that needs to be migrated from your legacy platform, the cost will be substantially different. 
• Level of customization required: If you need to customize the platform to fit your specific business processes, it will take longer to implement, which can increase the cost.

It's a good idea to carefully consider your budget and what you are willing to pay for implementation services before you begin the process.
