Personas are fictional, generalized characters that encompass the various needs, goals, and observed behavior patterns among your customers. Creating personas in your HubSpot account allows you to target these groups and categorize your contacts. Learn more about using buyer personas and check out the Make My Persona tool.
Please note: you can create up to three personas with the Make My Persona tool.
To create a new persona or edit an existing persona:
- In your HubSpot account, click the settings icon in the main navigation bar.
- In the left sidebar menu, navigate to CRM > Properties.
- In the search bar, enter Persona.

To delete a persona:
