HubSpot Contact Groups
HubSpot does not inherently have a feature labeled "contact groups" in the traditional sense where users can create a named group and add multiple contacts to it directly. Instead, HubSpot offers a more dynamic and integrated approach to organize contacts through the use of custom properties, lists, and property groups. This approach allows for more flexibility and depth in managing and segmenting contacts based on specific criteria.
HubSpot Contact Record
To categorize contacts within HubSpot, users can create custom properties or utilize existing ones to segment contacts based on specific criteria. These properties can then be used to create lists that effectively group contacts. For instance, a custom property named "Customer Segment" could be created with different segments as options. Contacts can be assigned to these segments, and dynamic lists can be created based on these property values.

Manage Marketing Contacts HubSpot
Marketing contacts in HubSpot are specifically designated contacts that you plan to market to. HubSpot's system allows users to mark certain contacts as marketing contacts, which directly influences billing for Marketing Hub subscriptions. Non-marketing contacts, on the other hand, do not count towards your billing tier. It's crucial to regularly review and update the status of your contacts to ensure accurate billing and effective marketing segmentation. Users can set and update a contact's marketing status directly from the contact record under the "Marketing Contact Status" property.
HubSpot Property Groups
Property groups in HubSpot serve as organizational containers for properties within contact, company, deal, or ticket records. They help keep the properties organized and make it easier for users to find and utilize them effectively. To add or manage property groups:
- Navigate to Settings > Properties.
- Select the object type (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tickets).
- Click on 'Groups' tab to view, add, or edit property groups.
- To add a new group, click 'Create group', enter the group name, and save.
- To add properties to a group, navigate to the 'Properties' tab, find the property you wish to move, click the 'More' dropdown, and select 'Move to group'.
Effectively using property groups can significantly enhance data organization and accessibility within HubSpot, making it easier to manage and segment your contacts.
It's important to note that while HubSpot's flexible system offers various ways to organize and categorize contacts, direct "contact groups" in the traditional sense are not a standalone feature. Instead, HubSpot's approach focuses on using properties, lists, and property groups to achieve similar outcomes, providing a more integrated and dynamic system for managing contacts.
