When visitors arrive on your website, how do you capture and convert them into customers?<\/p>\n

Marketers strive to\u00a0increase website traffic<\/a> using everything from SEO<\/a> to PPC advertisements and social media initiatives. However, driving traffic alone does not guarantee conversions.<\/p>\n

There are two primary ways to capture leads: forms and pages.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0lead capture form<\/strong> is a tool designed to collect contact information from prospects. And in return for their data, they receive something in exchange, which may be a guide, a free trial, a discount coupon, or a free consultation.<\/p>\n

A lead capture page<\/strong> is a landing page<\/a> tailored to specific marketing efforts. Lead capture pages aim to give information while enticing visitors to provide their contact details. This data is typically gathered using lead capture forms.<\/p>\n

Why lead capture is important<\/h2>\n

Because lead captures allow you to collect contact information from potential customers, businesses can use this data to contact prospects, tell them more about products or services, and convert prospects into customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditional lead capture forms versus modern alternatives<\/h2>\n

Marketers and small business owners often face a dilemma. The fewer fields used in a lead capture form, the less friction for a prospect to share information. But lead capture forms with minimal fields are often lower-quality leads.<\/p>\n

The more fields in a lead capture form, the higher the quality of your leads. But longer forms create a lot of friction and result in fewer leads.<\/p>\n

Traditional on-page lead capture forms are still fundamental to many lead-generation efforts. But people have become more reluctant to provide personal information in recent years.<\/p>\n

We’ll talk about lead capture forms to help you create a strategy, but we also share alternatives (like chatbots) to traditional lead capture forms.<\/p>\n
