Engage your social media audience and capture leads with a mobile-friendly Lead Magnet form

Create a Lead Magnet and share it on social media to engage and convert your social following

Constant Contact's Lead Magnet feature allows you to easily create mobile-friendly microsites that can be shared on your social media pages or in print with a simple QR code. Use them to capture lead information and convert social followers into marketable contacts.

Lead Magnets can contain one form (typically a contact form) that acts as your homepage and additional contact or survey forms to capture targeted information about your prospects. Each page within your lead magnet can be tailored to a distinct purpose and fulfill a unique need.

Access Lead Magnet from the dashboard of your Constant Contact account by clicking on Audience Growth.

Your homepage form will have a primary slug, such as ctct.me/abcd1, and additional forms will have secondary slugs, such as ctct.me/abcd1/sign-up-for-the-sale. Customize your links to make your brand stand out and your web address easier to remember.

With the help of AI, we can generate 5-question surveys tailored to your organization with a click of a button. Personalize the post-survey pages to include links to other digital spaces, such as your website or social media profiles.

 



 

Get started

     

    Share your form, view contacts, and access additional tools

     


    Create your Lead Magnet contact form

    When you first access the Lead Magnet feature, generate a contact form with a unique URL to capture contact information easily.

    1. Click Audience growth > Lead magnet from the menu on the left.

      Audience Growth Center Capture leads

      Or visit ctct.me and log in. 




    Your contact form will be generated automatically, and you’ll receive a custom ctct.me link to share with your prospects. For example, ctct.me/aeiou. This link will always take your contacts to the Homepage of your Lead Magnet.

    Note: You can customize the part of the link that appears after ctct.me/. Click Tools > Brand Your Link

    A contact form will be generated and automatically set as the homepage of your Lead Magnet. The contact form will have its own, unique slug. For example, ctct.me/aeiou/contact-us. In this example, /contact-us would be the slug assigned to your form.

    1. Modify the name of the page as needed.
    2. Modify the form’s slug as needed. 



    3. If needed, make further edits to your Lead Magnet — add, change, or delete survey questions or modify the style and content of your lead magnet forms, including:
      • Editing the logo and background images
      • Making style edits
      • Customizing the final pages
      • Adding and editing the footer/profile



        Note:
        All changes you make will be saved automatically and published on your Lead Magnet page as you make them. 

    4. To publish your Lead Magnet, click on the View Live Page button.



    5. Click Publish.



    If you're happy with the generated form, publish it on social media. Share your Lead Magnet link with clients to capture contact information. 

     

    Exclamation Point IconImportant: If you make edits to your form or recreate it entirely, previous versions cannot be recovered. For example, if you change the survey questions, you cannot return to the version with the original questions that the tool generated for you. 

     

    Add additional contact forms

    You can create multiple contact forms and multiple survey forms. To add a new Contact form at any time, return to the Lead Magnet page and create a new one.

    1. Navigate to the Lead Magnet homepage.
    2. Click Create



    3. Select another Contact form.



    4. Click Contact Us to choose a Lead Magnet template.



      A new Lead Magnet will be created with a pre-generated name and slug.

    5. Modify the name of the page as needed.
    6. Modify the URL slug of the page as needed.
    7. Optionally, choose to set this contact form as your homepage. 



      Note: This means that when customers land on your main ctct.me Lead Magnet URL, they will see your new contact page.

    8. Add, change, or delete survey questions or modify the style and content of your lead magnet forms, as needed, using the Editor buttons:

      • Edit the logo and background images
      • Make style edits
      • Customize the final pages
      • Add and Edit the footer/profile

        Note:
        All changes you make will be saved automatically and published on your Lead Magnet page as you make them.

     

    A new Lead Magnet will be created with a pre-generated name and slug. Share your Lead Magnet link with clients to capture contact information.

    Note: You can enable SMS and Email notifications to be alerted when someone fills out your Contact form. This helps you stay on top of your prospects and follow up quickly. Click here to learn how to enable SMS and Email notifications.

     

     

    Creating a survey form

    In addition to contact forms in your Lead Magnets, you can also create surveys – this helps you learn more about your contacts and find out what exactly they need from your business. 

    Quickly generate a survey Lead Magnet page relevant to your business and goals by answering the prompt, “What do you want to ask your audience?” This prompt creates the custom content for your form, which can take up to 60 seconds to generate.

    To create a survey form, return to the Lead Magnet homepage. 

    1. Click Audience growth > Lead magnet from the menu on the left.



      Or visit ctct.me and log in to your Constant Contact account. 



    2. Click Create.
    3. Choose a Survey form.



    4. Fill in your answer to the prompt, or enter your website URL or a social media profile URL, and the tool will pull from it to create your form. The more information you provide, the better.

      Note: You can click one of the pre-generated prompts under “Try it out” for inspiration, or start from a basic survey template instead of prompting.

    5. Click Create.



    6. Once generated, modify the Name of the survey as needed. 
    7. Modify the Slug of the survey as needed.
    8. Optionally, choose to set this survey as your homepage.

      Note: If set as your Lead Magnet homepage, customers will see your new survey when they land on your main ctct.me URL.



    9. Begin modifying your page by selecting from the Editor buttons.

      Note: All changes you make will be saved automatically and published to your Lead Magnet URL as you make them.



    10. Add or edit the questions in your survey by clicking on Question Pages.



    11. Once generated, click “View Live Page” for a preview. Click the arrows to review the survey questions that the tool generated for you.



    12. Click Publish when the survey is complete. 


    As prospects interact with your Lead Magnet, they will first answer the survey questions. Then, after completing the survey questions, users are brought to two final pages: a contact information submission form, where they can enter their name, email, and phone number, accept the terms and conditions, and opt in to marketing, and a thank you page.

    If you are happy with the generated form, publish it on social media.

    Or, choose to make further edits — add, change, or delete survey questions or modify the style and content of your lead magnet forms:

      • Edit the logo and background images
      • Make style edits
      • Customize the final pages
      • Add and edit the footer/profile

     

    Form submissions list

    When contacts fill out your Lead Magnet forms, their submissions are sent to the 'Lead Magnet contacts' list. The list cannot be changed; however, you can build automation workflows to manipulate your contacts and lists as needed.
