Why your "Contact us" form is leaking money
The industry-average web form converts at around 2%. That means for every 100 visitors who actually wanted to talk to you, 98 left without leaving their details. Most of them are gone forever — by the time you publish a follow-up blog post or run a retargeting ad, they've bought from a competitor who answered them at 10pm on a Wednesday.
The reason is simple. A static form is a barrier. The visitor has to know what they want, fill in their details with no idea who'll see it or when they'll hear back, and trust that the wait will be worth it. There's no conversation. No reassurance. No qualification. Just a black box that says "We'll be in touch."
An AI chatbot collapses that wait. The visitor asks a question, gets an answer immediately, and in the same flow gives you their name and email because the bot just asks naturally ("Happy to help — what's your name so I can send you that link?"). They feel served, not surveilled. You get a lead with full context attached: what page they were on, what they asked, what plan they were comparing, what their team size is.
That's why teams that switch from "Contact us" forms to conversational lead capture typically see a 3× lift in qualified leads without spending a dollar more on traffic.
The pre-chat form — your highest-converting asset.
Three fields are enough. Keep it brief, make it mandatory, and 90%+ of visitors will fill it.
Why mandatory beats optional, every time
When the form is optional, ~25% of visitors fill it. When it's mandatory (chat input disabled until form is submitted), 90%+ fill it because the bar is low — name and email is 5 seconds of effort and visitors expect a friction step before talking to "a person." The 10% who bounce were never leads.
- Name (required, 1 field)
- Email (required, 1 field)
- "What brings you here?" (dropdown — pricing, demo, support, etc.)
- Company size (optional — qualifies B2B leads automatically)
Prefer no form? Subtle mode lets the AI weave the asks into the conversation naturally — slightly lower capture rate but better for cold homepage traffic.
Before we chat:

What brings you here? *

CRM webhooks
Push every captured lead to HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, or any custom endpoint via signed webhooks. Includes name, email, phone, custom fields, AI conversation summary, source URL, UTMs.
Email + Telegram alerts
You get a notification within seconds of a lead landing. Reply from your phone. Yes, your prospects can tell when you reply in 4 minutes vs the next morning.
AI conversation summary
Each lead gets a 2-3 line summary: what they asked, what intent (pricing / support / curiosity), what sentiment, what action to take. No reading 30 messages of back-and-forth before you reply.
Intent classification
Automatic tagging: hot-pricing-inquiry, support-ticket, comparing-with-competitor, casual-browser. Filter your CRM view to only the leads worth your team's time.
Source attribution
Every lead carries its page URL + UTM parameters. Know which campaign, which blog post, which landing page produces the highest-quality leads — not just the most leads.
Human handoff that works
When intent is high or AI hits its confidence floor, hand off to a real human via the operator console. Full transcript, captured fields, and context — no "let me look that up for you" awkwardness.
Three lead-capture scenarios that actually convert
Scenario 1 · After-hours pricing inquiry
Visitor lands on /pricing at 9pm Saturday. Asks "do you have a plan for 200 users?"
Without a chatbot: they fill the "Contact us" form, get the auto-responder "We'll respond within 1-2 business days," and by Monday they've already booked a demo with your competitor who answered them in 10 minutes. With DBestChatBot: bot quotes the public Enterprise tier, asks team-size + use case + timeframe conversationally, captures email, fires the webhook. By Monday morning your AE has a fully-qualified lead in HubSpot with everything they need to open with a personalized email.
Scenario 2 · Blog-post visitor with intent
A reader finishes your "Top 10 X tools" blog post and opens the chat to ask "how is yours different from {competitor}?"
The bot has been briefed (in its system prompt) on your top 5 competitor objections and how to handle each honestly. It answers the differentiator question, captures email "in case the team wants to follow up," and tags the lead with intent=comparing-competitor. Your SDR sees the tag, sends a personalized "saw you read our X post — here's the actual decision tree we use" email. Reply rate on these: ~40% vs ~8% for cold outbound.
Scenario 3 · Paid-ad landing page
A visitor clicks your Google Ad for "AI chatbot for [industry]" and lands on your campaign page.
The chatbot auto-opens 5 seconds after page load (Auto-popup mode) with a contextual greeting: "Looking for a chatbot for [industry]? Happy to walk you through what fits." Conversion lift vs the static page alone: typically 2-3× on ad spend ROAS. Same ad budget, double the demos booked. See the ROI math.

Frequently asked questions
How does the pre-chat form qualify leads?▾
Build a 2-5 field form (name, email, company size, budget range, intent dropdown) that visitors fill BEFORE chatting. Visitor data lands in the conversation thread, the AI summary, and can be pushed to your CRM via webhook within seconds.
Can the chatbot work WITHOUT a pre-chat form?▾
Yes — use Subtle (Conversational) mode. The bot greets the visitor, lets them ask their question first, and then weaves "what's your name?" / "best email to follow up?" into the natural flow. Higher chat-start rate (no form friction) but slightly lower capture rate. Most B2B sites mix: subtle for cold homepage traffic, mandatory for pricing-page traffic.
Can I integrate with HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce?▾
Yes — Pro and Agency plans include outbound webhooks. Hook the lead.captured event to your CRM's incoming-lead endpoint (HubSpot Forms API, Pipedrive Leads API, Salesforce Web-to-Lead) and new conversations flow in with the visitor data + AI conversation summary + source URL + UTM parameters.
What if the visitor abandons mid-conversation?▾
You still got the name + email (if pre-chat was mandatory) or whatever fields the bot captured in subtle mode. The conversation is saved with status "abandoned" and you can trigger an automated follow-up email or assign it to your SDR queue for human outreach.
How do I track lead quality, not just volume?▾
Every conversation gets an AI-generated summary with intent classification (pricing / support / curiosity / spam) and sentiment. Combined with the source URL + UTM parameters, you can attribute leads to specific campaigns AND filter your CRM view to show only high-intent conversations.
What about spam and bot submissions?▾
The chat input itself is rate-limited per IP, so a bot can't script 1000 fake leads. We also detect obviously-suspect patterns (gibberish names, disposable email domains, instant submit) and tag them in the conversation. You can choose to auto-discard or queue them for manual review.
Can I A/B test different lead-capture flows?▾
You can run multiple chatbots from one account and embed different snippets on different landing pages — comparing capture rate in your analytics today. Native split-testing (one chatbot, two prompts, automatic traffic split) is on the Q3 roadmap.
