      <description>&lt;p&gt;I’m building &lt;a href="https://check.maitools.space" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;AI Website Check&lt;/a&gt; for business owners and marketing teams who want to know whether an AI assistant can use their website. When we inspected HubSpot’s contact-sales page, three things stood out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The next step is easy to find
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On &lt;a href="https://offers.hubspot.com/contact-sales#book-a-meeting-with-sales" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;HubSpot’s contact-sales page&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Get a Demo&lt;/strong&gt; led to the form. A visitor or assistant looking for a sales conversation has a clear place to start.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fxoofqcabeghk5j0i3pkb.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fxoofqcabeghk5j0i3pkb.png" alt="HubSpot’s initial contact-sales form" width="700" height="481"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;HubSpot’s initial contact-sales form, inspected on 9 November 2026.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Each required field has a name
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All &lt;strong&gt;seven required fields had associated labels&lt;/strong&gt;: first name, last name, email, phone, website URL, employee count and company headquarters country. Browser tools can identify what information is requested without relying only on where an input sits on screen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The fields are reachable by keyboard
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All &lt;strong&gt;seven fields were reachable with Tab&lt;/strong&gt;, with visible, unobstructed focus. The sequence continued to the privacy link and Next button. That gives users and browser tools a predictable way through the initial step.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These observations came from a separate read-only browser inspection on 9 November 2026. We did not enter data, click Next or submit an enquiry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fzlyb5iphi907m0eznkff.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fzlyb5iphi907m0eznkff.png" alt="AI Website Check report for HubSpot’s contact-sales page" width="700" height="481"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Automated scan, 9 November 2026, 19:34 UTC. Contact checks: 0 of 9 completed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://check.maitools.space/reports/scan-9d98a44c-43da-43ea-aa19-da7cfa0f5f06" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Our automated scan&lt;/a&gt; recorded 10 checks passed, 27 untested and one not applicable. It does not test the interactive form; those observations came from the browser inspection above.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does your contact page get these basics right, too?&lt;/strong&gt; Ask your web team to inspect the form. &lt;a href="https://check.maitools.space" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;See what the free scan can assess on your page.&lt;/a&gt; Submitted URLs and findings are public, so use a public URL without passwords or access tokens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Happy Growing 🌱&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Drafted with AI and reviewed against the scan and browser observations.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
