It is only one tiny piece of our software application. While Website Grader is a cool Web 2.0-ish app, at our core we're business folk who like to build products to sell to businesses who pay us money for the software. HubSpot (the name of the company and the name of the app we sell) is marketing software for small and medium sized businesses, and inludes software for SEO, blogging, landing pages, lead tracking & intelligence and marketing analytics (currently priced at $3500/year). We also have an app on the Salesforce.com AppExchange which integrates our marketing software with their CRM system (currently priced at $750/month). We have sharp and experienced investors. In both our A and B rounds, the VCs did their diligence. They invested in the marketing software application we sell to businesses and our growing base of 400 paying customers. If you are a marketing professional, check out HubSpot. We have some cool software I think you will love. Mike Volpe VP Marketing HubSpot A couple things to clarify from the comments and article:

I wonder if the the investment firms really did their due dilligence. Sites like Yahoo! and Google have very clear Terms of Service stating that the users will not access the sites using any form of automated scripts or crawlers. While the free report is being run they are clearly accessing Google in a way that violates the Terms of Service and the robots.txt file. If anyone at HubSpot can address these concerns I would really like to see the reply.

We also provide tools that help clients capture more leads on their site. We do have some great tools for SEO and many clients buy our services because of the SEO tools and training. @Imageco - Not sure what you consider expensive. If you compare it to a good SEO Consultant, we're very inexpensive. We also work with many SEO consultants too - who use our platform for their clients.
