You had an idea, we built it.  After 100+ votes in the idea forum, HubSpot is happy to announce the roll-out of password protected pages as an option within the new landing pages.  Any customer using the new landing pages can now access this feature under the option tab.

HubSpot released a free iPhone app as part of the HubSpot 3 launch last week. The app is currently available for customers and non-customers to download from the iTunes app store. The HubSpot iPhone app allows you to take the most powerful HubSpot applications with you everywhere. The application currently features four HubSpot tools: Dashboard, Sources, Contacts, and Marketing Grader.

Here at HubSpot, we're working harder than ever to make marketing software that marketers love. That means that we've been making improvements to the HubSpot software at an even more rapid pace than usual lately. This pace is going to keep up for a few more months or so, while we fulfill our vision to make HubSpot an easier to use, better integrated, and more powerful tool for you.

As an inbound marketer, your content is your lifeblood. Content is what helps you get found, earn trust, and convert casual visitors into educated, interested leads.

There's a handy new dashboard in the HubSpot navigation, designed to help you see at a glance all of the blog posts, emails, landing pages, and CTAs that have been created by any user in your HubSpot portal. It's the new Content Dashboard, and it's what you'll see when you click on Content in your HubSpot navigation menu.

We’re making a few changes to the HubSpot Dashboard soon, and we wanted to give you a sneak peek at what’s on tap. It's almost been a year since we first launched the new HubSpot Dashboard, so it's due for a bit of a design refresh. This new design is currently in beta testing with about 150 of our awesome customers, and once we’ve put the finishing touches on things, we’ll be rolling it out to all customers in the coming weeks.

Hot on the heels of recent improvements to the Social Media Publishing tool (hooray for Suggested Times!), we’ve got another new update to the HubSpot Social Media tools to tell you about. This time we’ve improved the design and functionality of Social Media Reach, which is found on the right sidebar of the main Social Media page. You should begin seeing this update in the coming days.

We just gave the Settings screens a make over, adding some new functionality and making it easier for you to get set up in the product. Here are five quick tips for getting the most out of the new Settings screens. As always, feel free to give us feedback using the orange feedback tab across all the Settings screens. 

Examining a database of more than 100 million retweets and other social media shares for his Science of Timing, HubSpot's Dan Zarrella zeroed in on some of the best times for posting to social media. One of the key recommendations from his research was the following:

We've been working hard lately on another big improvement to your HubSpot application, and we're finally ready to share a special peek at it as we get closer to unrolling it to all customers.

We've redesigned the navigation within the product to make it easier for you to move around between the interconnected apps you use every day. The product navigation menu is changing, and will focus more on the core groupings of applications within the HubSpot product, bringing all of your Content, Contacts, and Reporting applications together in one easy-to-use interface.

In an effort to deliver the best user experience possible, we've transformed our Page Grader application and Visits By Page report into a new Pages report. Like the old apps, Pages will let you track all of your most vital page metrics, including page views, on-page SEO elements, ranked keywords, and internal links.
