# How is working with a HubSpot Diamond Partner agency different from doing a migration with a generalist web agency?

A HubSpot Diamond Partner agency has achieved over $55,000 in managed monthly recurring revenue with HubSpot, placing them in the top 3% of HubSpot's 6,000-plus agency partner ecosystem. This tier requires demonstrated expertise across CRM implementation, data migration, and platform optimization that generalist web agencies do not possess.

The practical differences show up in three areas. First, Diamond Partners receive direct access to HubSpot's engineering and support teams, which means faster problem resolution during complex migrations. They also get early access to beta features and product roadmap visibility, so migrations can be designed with upcoming platform capabilities in mind. Second, Diamond Partners hold HubSpot-specific accreditations in data migration, CRM implementation, and custom integration that require passing technical certifications. A generalist web agency may build a visually strong site but lack the depth to configure deal pipelines, set up lifecycle stage automation, or troubleshoot API integration issues between HubSpot and your other tools. Third, the post-launch support model differs. Diamond Partners typically include structured onboarding, team training, and a defined support period after migration because platform adoption is part of their service model. Lean Labs, as a Diamond Partner, includes one-on-one training and[ 90-day ongoing support](https://www.leanlabs.com/solutions/hubspot-projects) as a standard part of their migration engagements. Generalist agencies often consider the project complete at launch. Diamond Partner status alone does not guarantee quality, so evaluating case studies, client results, and industry specialization matters more than the badge itself.
