If you’re using HubSpot's Inbound Marketing Software, you’re probably happy to have all your core inbound marketing tools -- Lead Nurturing, Lead Intelligence, Email Marketing, Blogging, Social Media, SEO, Marketing Analytics, and more -- in one place.

But what about all the other stuff? All the tools that aren't absolutely core to inbound marketing but that you use enough to care about.

Turns out many of these tools are now available in HubSpot's growing app marketplace. Here are eight of our favorites:

8 Awesome Inbound Marketing Apps

1. Pay-Per-Click Analysis (Developer: Website Publicity) -- Google AdWords can tell you a campaign’s click-through rate.

This app gives you that data, allowing you to focus on the keywords that generate customers. Install PPC Analysis for HubSpot

2. Lead Grader (Developer: Lynton Web Solutions) -- If you get any kind of lead volume, you need to make sure your sales team is focusing on the leads that are most likely to close.
