Create mobile-friendly microsites with a Lead Magnet plan

Article: 000054625
Updated: September 29, 2025

Constant Contact's Lead Magnet product 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.

Sign up for a Lead Magnet plan at ctct.me and create your contact or survey forms in just minutes! 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.

Note: Lead Magnet is available as a standalone product that can be accessed from ctct.me for customers who do not have a Constant Contact account. If you have a Constant Contact account, click here to learn how to manage your account. 

 

Your landing page

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.

 

Build forms quickly using AI

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.

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.

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

 

Create 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. 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 or 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, users are brought to two final pages: a Contact Information submission form and a Thank You page.

Prospects can enter their name, email, and phone number on the Contact information submission form, accept the terms and conditions, and opt in to marketing.

If you are happy with the generated Lead Magnet form, publish it on social media. Or, choose to make further edits, including:

 

Edit or delete survey questions

You can modify your homepage contact form or choose another form (including a survey form) to be your homepage. Add, edit, or delete the survey questions in your survey forms and/or the responses that appear to your social followers, even after you've shared your form on social media. 

If you edit the survey questions after sharing your form, responses to previously added questions will be preserved. 

If you edit survey questions after sharing your form, you can always restore an older version of your Lead Magnet by going to Tools > Restore.
