Why This Question Matters

Every week, partners ask us: “What types of projects actually belong on Profoundly?”
The truth, nearly all HubSpot-related projects do.

Brian Garvey explains:

“We’ve got experts across every aspect of the platform and dozens of connected apps. If you’ve got a project, a problem, or an opportunity, chances are we’ve got a Pro who can help.”

Profoundly isn’t limited to one Hub or one skill set. It’s a full ecosystem built around the entire HubSpot stack from CRM to CMS to Commerce.

1. The Core Project Types

Most Profoundly projects fall into four categories:

1. Audits
For clients who’ve “grown into chaos.” CRM, data, and automation audits help businesses uncover what’s broken and how to fix it.

2. Implementations
Full HubSpot onboarding or Hub upgrades done fast and clean — perfect for companies new to HubSpot or adding new Hubs.

3. Migrations
From Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive, or spreadsheets. Experts manage data, pipelines, and reporting continuity.

4. Integrations
Custom connections between HubSpot and key tools; PandaDoc, Slack, Shopify, Xero, or proprietary APIs.

These four alone represent the majority of projects posted, but they only scratch the surface.

2. The “Edge Services” Partners Miss

As Rikki Lear points out, HubSpot has become too broad for any team to master it all.

“Look at the jobs you say no to today; Service Hub builds, Commerce Hub projects, or orders object setup. Those are great fits for Profoundly.”

These “edge services” often sit outside a partner’s core comfort zone. Rather than turning them away, you can use Profoundly to access experts who live in that niche daily; Service Hub, Ops Hub, workflows, or enterprise CRM structures.

3. A Surprise Use Case: Pre-Sales Support

One of the fastest-growing Profoundly project types isn’t delivery; it’s sales enablement.

Partners are now bringing Pros into discovery and pre-sales calls to help answer technical questions or showcase implementation paths.

Brian shared:

“We’ve got experts who can jump on calls, help with pre-sales, and make your proposals stronger. The feedback has been really positive.”

This model helps smaller agencies compete with larger ones delivering technical authority on demand without over-hiring.

4. Why Breadth Beats Niche

Unlike agencies or staffing firms, Profoundly doesn’t pick a single vertical or Hub. It’s built for range.

Jason Azocar explains:

“We’ve onboarded well over a hundred Pros, each a specialist in a few things. Together, that creates a wide pool of skills and serious depth across the platform.”

That collective breadth is why the marketplace can serve startups, Solutions Partners, and enterprise HubSpot users equally well.

5. When in Doubt, Post It

Profoundly is designed for exploration. If you’re unsure whether a project fits, post it. The marketplace will surface the right Pros automatically.

Partners routinely post:

• HubSpot portal clean-ups

• Marketing automation and workflow fixes

• Data architecture planning

• Content Hub builds

• CMS migrations

• Reporting and dashboard setups

The diversity of these projects is what makes the marketplace thrive.

“It’s HubSpot help, profoundly simple. If you’ve got a need, we’ve got someone who can help.” — Brian Garvey

Bringing It All Together

The Profoundly marketplace thrives on variety. What unites every successful project isn’t its size or scope; it’s the match between challenge and specialist.

To make the most of it:

1. Start with your “no pile”, the jobs you usually decline or delay.

2. Post them on Profoundly and review vetted experts.

3. Use the platform for pre-sales or overflow support.

4. Keep building relationships with trusted Pros for repeat work.

When HubSpot Partners pair their strategy with Profoundly’s specialist pool, they scale faster, deliver better, and stay leaner.
