Why it matters

Why add PDF search to your HubSpot CMS site?

Visitors on HubSpot CMSsites expect to find information fast. If you’re hosting PDFs — guides, contracts, menus, manuals, resource libraries — a search widget lets them find exactly what they need without downloading anything or sending you an email.

Sparks Simple gives your HubSpot CMS site an embeddable search widget that indexes your PDFs and returns instant, full-text results — right on your page. Clients and visitors stay on your site, find what they need, and stop calling your office asking for documents they should already have.

No portal. No login required from visitors. No custom development. Just paste one line of code.
