Yes. A HubSpot project can audit, clean, and reconfigure a poorly set up portal, including restructuring properties, rebuilding broken workflows, deduplicating contacts, and realigning lifecycle stages to match actual business processes. Messy portals are one of the most common reasons companies hire an agency. Symptoms include duplicate or conflicting properties, automations that overwrite each other, lifecycle stages that do not match how sales actually works, and reporting that nobody trusts. The fix starts with a portal audit to identify what is broken, redundant, or missing. From there, the agency maps the correct data structure, cleans existing records, rebuilds workflows from scratch where needed, and validates everything before go-live. Organizations that clean their data before migration or rebuild see 26 to 29 percent faster setup times compared to those who try to fix records after import. Lean Labs positions its migration and implementation services as a direct solution for this, with language specifically addressing the risk of messy setups and the need for structured rebuilds. ###
