The HubSpot Knowledge Base
Available from Professional upwards, tied to the same customer record as everything else, and only useful if people can find the articles.
What it is and where it lives
The knowledge base is HubSpot self-service content tool. Articles are organised into categories, can be public or restricted to logged-in customers, and can be surfaced by the chat bot and inside tickets.
It sits on Professional and above, which is worth knowing before you plan a self-service strategy on Starter.
What to write, in order
Take your ticket data rather than a content plan.
Placement beats volume
An article nobody sees deflects nothing. Three placements do most of the work.
Measuring it
Track ticket volume for the documented topic before and after. That is the only number that matters, and it is the one that justifies the tier.
Article views tell you what people clicked, not what they stopped asking.
