How to analyse your knowledge base performance

Once you’ve created your knowledge base, of course you’re going to want to know how well it’s performing! Here is how:

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Content > Knowledge Base.
  • In the upper left, click the Insights tab.
  • Here, you'll see a list of all your knowledge base articles with the metrics Total views, Average time on article, Helpful rating, and Unhelpful rating.
  • Click a column header to sort the articles by metric, and click the Time range drop down menu to change the time period the metrics are displayed for.

  • Analyse what search terms your customers are using to look up your knowledge base articles. You can view the total number of searches, the search terms that do not return any article results, and the most effective search terms for the time period selected.
  • In the Most Searched Terms report, select a term to view all of the knowledge base article results for that search term.
