1.) Pardot
A Salesforce product, Pardot is a B2B-specific solution that requires little to no marketing automation experience. "With Pardot, we don’t have to worry about our marketing technology. Instead, my team can focus on creating and driving business," explained a Deloitte executive, after seeing a 400% increase in active users.
The software is designed to be an intuitive and user-friendly “lead generator.” Pardot features an innovative lead scoring and grading system that automatically qualifies leads and notifies sales teams in real-time. This means they will be able to approach ready-to-convert prospects well before the competition.
What makes Pardot unique is its personalization power. Thanks to features like email A/B testing, SPAM analysis and email editor, Pardot can send tailored messages for different audiences, a tactic proven to increase click-through rates. 2.8 million Pardot users have seen sales revenue increase by 34% and their marketing effectiveness climbed by 37%, on average.
In 2020, Pardot launched new B2B marketing features, such as Einstein Attribution and B2B Marketing Analytics Plus, which the Americaneagle.com team is already using.
2.) HubSpot
An automatization newbie’s dream, HubSpot is an all-in-one customer relationship management (CRM) platform that includes very tool you need to grow an online business from building your website to accelerating sales. The best part? No coding skills are required.
A HubSpot feature we particularly like is Email Tracking. The tool helps you improve your emails by giving you specific data about your recipients’ interactions with your content such as which emails, links, and documents they clicked on. HubSpot’s Campaign and Reporting tools are also a bit hit among users. HubSpot is an ideal solution, not only for large corporations, but also for small enterprises that often struggle to streamline business processes using technology.
More than 95,000 companies in over 120 countries rely on HubSpot to enhance their digital business. Part of the brand’s success comes from offering outstanding customer assistance.
HubSpot does a great job at easing customers into automatization with comprehensive training materials, videos, and coaching sessions.
“We’d recommend the Marketing Hub to most businesses in B2B or B2C that are looking to ramp up their lead generation efforts. There is a ton of opportunity for businesses within all types of industries to utilize these features to enhance and take their marketing efforts to the next level,” said a HubSpot client whose company experienced a 78% increase in lead generation.
3.) Klaviyo
At Americaneagle.com, we’re all about driving operational efficiencies. The marketing automation solution Klaviyo accomplishes this goal.

This way, brands can deliver customized, unforgettable messages to their customers across all channels, from website and email, to SMS and in-app notifications.

4.) SEMrush

Keywords are the backbone of this solution which specializes in keyword research, competitor analysis, and Google Ad campaign optimization.
Here are some of the features SEMrush specialists at Americaneagle.com use the most:
- Organic Research allows you to see what keywords your competitors’ are ranking for, how much monthly website traffic they get, and how much that site’s organic traffic is worth. This way, you can save money by choosing and picking terms that get a lot of organic clicks.
- Traffic Analytics presents how you stack up against your competition when it comes to overall website traffic. With this feature, you’ll discover a list of sites that send the most traffic to successful brands in your industry, so you can amplify your outreach efforts accordingly.
