  • #56 As you can see in this chart, we worked with this IT Productivity Software client a couple of years ago. Prior to September 2008, HubSpot was not in place, therefore there was no simple way to track organic leads correlating to our SEO plan. Starting in September 2008 HubSpot allowed us to track leads. As you can see, organic leads more than tripled from 40 per month to about 140 per month.
