Pacing Console vs HubSpot ads: attribution in the CRM, pacing on the budget

• Budget pacing: hourly cut-to-date pace, the daily budget to land the month and a month-end forecast, none of which the HubSpot ads pages mention
• Microsoft Ads paced with Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads in one board
• A daily email listing only off-pace campaigns, so overspend is caught before month end
• Cost per lifecycle stage by campaign on Pro for $49 USD per workspace a month, using the HubSpot data you already have
• Works with Salesforce or Pipedrive as well, for teams whose pipeline does not live in HubSpot

• HubSpot attributes individual contacts to the ads that brought them in, inside the CRM where sales works
• It syncs retargeting and list audiences and conversion events back to ad networks
• It lists more networks, including Meta, Reddit and TikTok
• You can create ads and lead forms from HubSpot; Pacing Console does not create ads
• Multi-touch revenue attribution in Marketing Hub Enterprise goes beyond campaign-level cost per stage

HubSpot sees the funnel from the contact up: which ad a contact came from, and with the right edition, how revenue is attributed across touches. What its ads pages do not cover is the budget: whether each campaign will spend its monthly budget, what daily budget to set today and what month-end spend will be.

Pacing Console works from the budget down. It paces Google Ads, Microsoft Ads and LinkedIn Ads hourly, then reads HubSpot lifecycle stages by campaign on Pro, and deals and revenue on Enterprise, so cost per MQL, SQL, opportunity and dollar of pipeline sit next to pace. If you already pay for Marketing Hub Professional (from $800 a month), adding Pacing Console Pro is $49 USD per workspace a month.

• Create a Pacing Console workspace; the first month is free, no credit card.
• Paste the pre-filled scripts into Google Ads and Microsoft Ads (one per manager account), schedule them hourly and connect LinkedIn Ads.
• Upgrade to Pro and connect HubSpot so lifecycle stages appear by campaign.
• Enter monthly budgets or budget plans per campaign and turn on the daily off-pace email.
• Keep HubSpot for contact attribution and audiences, and use Pacing Console for pacing and cost per stage.
