HubSpot ads management connects your Google, Meta, and LinkedIn ad accounts to the Smart CRM so paid spend is tied to real contacts and deals, not just clicks. You build audiences from CRM lists, see which campaigns create contacts and pipeline, and report on ad ROI alongside the rest of your marketing in one place.

From click to closed deal, in one report
Most ad dashboards stop at the click or the form fill. HubSpot follows that same person through their full journey, so you can see the spend behind a contact who turned into pipeline weeks later.
- Ad spend mapped to contacts, deals, and revenue
- Network, campaign, ad set, and ad level breakdowns
- Compare paid against organic and other sources side by side
- Useful for longer SEA B2B cycles where the deal closes well after the click

FAQ
Common questions
Which ad networks can I connect?
HubSpot’s ads tool supports Google Ads, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), and LinkedIn ad accounts. You connect each account once in Settings, then manage spend, audiences, and reporting for all of them from the same place.
Do I create the actual ads in HubSpot or in the ad networks?
You can create some ad and audience types directly in HubSpot, and you can also manage campaigns built in Google, Meta, or LinkedIn. The main value is the connection: HubSpot ties spend back to contacts and deals regardless of where the ad was created.
How does HubSpot attribute ad spend to deals?
With ad tracking enabled, HubSpot adds tracking parameters to your ad clicks and matches returning visitors to CRM contacts. From there it follows each contact through to any deal they influence, so the dashboard shows spend tied to pipeline and revenue, not only clicks and form fills.
What are CRM audiences and how do they sync?
A CRM audience is an ad audience built from a HubSpot contact list, such as engaged leads or past customers. HubSpot syncs that list to Google or Meta so you can target or exclude those people, and the audience refreshes as contacts enter or leave the list.
Which plan tier includes ads management?
Basic ad connection and tracking are available on lower Marketing Hub tiers, while audience sync, lead form syncing, and deeper reporting tend to sit on higher tiers. Check your current tier in HubSpot, since the exact limits depend on your plan.
