Turning Web Activity into Sales Conversations

The Challenge

The client had a large product catalog, making it difficult for sales reps to identify expansion opportunities within existing accounts.

They knew valuable signals were already in HubSpot—specifically, what customers were browsing on their website—but that insight wasn’t usable in its current form.

Previously, web activity surfaced through dashboards that aggregated page view data across multiple accounts. While technically accurate, it created friction:

• Data was buried in dashboards instead of where reps actually work
• Activity from multiple customers was mixed together, making it hard to interpret
• Reps couldn’t easily connect behavior to a specific company or contact
• Valuable buying signals were being missed or ignored

The opportunity wasn’t collecting more data, but making that data actionable. As a HubSpot Diamond Solutions Partner, we help clients bridge that gap by turning raw data into insights their teams can actually use.

The Solution

We brought web activity directly into the sales workflow.

With HubSpot’s multi-object report embedding on record pages, we restructured how this data was surfaced and used.

Instead of relying on dashboards, we embedded custom web activity reports directly on Company records, giving reps immediate visibility into each account’s behavior.

The Setup

What we built:

• Embedded contact, company, and web activity reports directly on Company pages
• Filtered all data dynamically to the specific company being viewed
• Surfaced key behavioral signals, including:
  • Product page views
  • Search activity over time
  • Individual contacts interacting with specific products

The Engine

This allowed reps to instantly see:

• What a customer is interested in
• When that interest is increasing
• Who inside the organization is engaging

No digging, filtering, or guesswork necessary.

How It Works:

• A contact visits product pages or searches on the website
• HubSpot tracks that activity and associates it with the contact and company
• Embedded reports display this activity directly on the Company record
• Reps use this insight to guide timely, relevant outreach

The Impact

This transformed passive data into proactive sales opportunities.

• Reps now have real-time visibility into customer intent
• Outreach is more relevant, timely, and personalized
• Expansion opportunities are identified earlier in the buying cycle
• Sales teams spend less time digging for insights and more time acting on them
• Customer conversations shift from reactive to strategic

Instead of asking, “What should I follow up on?”, reps now know exactly where to start.

Before

• Web activity buried in dashboards
• Mixed data across multiple accounts
• Limited visibility into who was engaging
• Missed opportunities for proactive outreach

After

• Web activity visible directly on each Company record
• Clean, account-specific insights
• Contact-level visibility into engagement
• Clear signals for timely, relevant sales conversations

FAQ

Can HubSpot track which pages a contact visits on your website? 

Yes — and it ties that activity directly to the contact and company record.

HubSpot's tracking code captures page view data and associates it with known contacts in your CRM. Once a contact fills out a form or clicks a tracked email link, their subsequent website visits are logged and tied to their contact and company record automatically.

What is the difference between a HubSpot dashboard and an embedded report?

A dashboard shows everything — an embedded report shows only what's relevant to the record you're in.

A HubSpot dashboard aggregates data across your entire database and requires reps to navigate to it separately. An embedded report lives directly on a CRM record (like a Contact or Company page) and is automatically filtered to show only the data relevant to that specific account — reducing friction and increasing the likelihood reps actually act on the insight.

How can sales reps use website behavior to identify upsell or expansion opportunities?

The signal is already there — it just needs to be surfaced where reps can act on it.

When web activity is surfaced at the account level, reps can spot patterns like repeated product page visits, spikes in search activity, or engagement from multiple contacts within the same company. These signals often indicate growing interest in an adjacent product or service before a formal inquiry is made, giving reps a window to proactively reach out. Setting this up correctly requires thoughtful HubSpot configuration — as a Diamond Solutions Partner, Simple Strat has helped B2B teams architect exactly this kind of intent-based sales workflow inside HubSpot.
