How Do I Know When Target Accounts Visit Our Website Using HubSpot Sales Hub?
In account-based selling, timing is everything. HubSpot Sales Hub gives your team real-time visibility into target account web visits, so reps can prioritize outreach the moment key stakeholders land on high-intent pages.
When target accounts browse your site, you don’t want reps finding out days later in a report—you want them to know right now. By combining HubSpot tracking, company-based views, and intent-style alerts, you can instantly surface account visits to Sales and trigger the right follow-up, at the right moment.
How HubSpot Surfaces Target Account Website Activity
Playbook: Alerting Sales When Target Accounts Visit the Website
Turn anonymous account activity into timely, contextual outreach using HubSpot Sales Hub.
Define → Track → Segment → Alert → Engage → Improve
- Define your target account list: Align with Sales and Marketing on which accounts qualify as priority or strategic. Store them as target accounts, company lists, or custom properties in HubSpot.
- Track key pages and events: Ensure the HubSpot tracking code is on your site and decide which URLs represent high intent (pricing, demo, product, comparison pages, solution pages, and key resources).
- Segment by account activity: Build lists and views like “Target accounts with visits in last 7 days” or “Target accounts with 3+ pricing page views this month.”
- Set up real-time alerts: Use workflows to trigger notifications or tasks when a target account contact visits a tracked page, reaches a score threshold, or returns after being inactive.
- Enable contextual outreach: Provide email templates and call scripts that reference the behavior: “I noticed your team was reviewing our [solution/pricing] page…” so outreach feels timely and relevant—not creepy.
- Review and refine the signals: Regularly analyze which page visits and sequences of actions actually correlate with meetings and pipeline, then adjust triggers and scoring accordingly.
Target Account Web Activity Maturity Matrix
| Dimension | Stage 1 — Blind | Stage 2 — Aware | Stage 3 — Actionable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visibility | No connection between accounts and web visits. | Basic page view reports exist. | Account-level views of all target activity. |
| Segmentation | Everyone treated the same. | Some segmentation by industry or size. | Dedicated lists and views for target and strategic accounts. |
| Alerting | No alerts; Sales checks manually. | Occasional notifications. | Automated, signal-based alerts to owners. |
| Sales Response | Slow or inconsistent follow-up. | Some reps react quickly. | Standard SLAs and playbooks for active accounts. |
| Measurement | No tracking of impact. | Ad hoc reporting. | Reporting on meetings and pipeline sourced from account web activity. |
| ABM Alignment | Random outreach, no shared view. | Partial alignment across teams. | Sales, Marketing, and RevOps aligned on account signals and actions. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can HubSpot show me which target accounts are on our site right now?
HubSpot can show you recent sessions and page views associated with known contacts and their companies, and surface that activity in company records, lists, and reports your Sales team can work from.
How do I avoid creeping out prospects?
Focus on helpful, context-aware outreach instead of saying “I saw you on our website.” Reference their challenge or content theme rather than the exact page view when possible.
Should I alert reps on every visit?
No—reserve alerts for high-intent behaviors (e.g., multiple pricing page views, demo content, product comparisons) so reps aren’t overwhelmed with noise and can act on the most meaningful signals.
How do I measure the impact of these alerts?
Build reports and dashboards that track meetings, opportunities, and revenue created from accounts that triggered web-activity alerts compared to those that did not.
