Lead Magnet

A lead magnet is content that will attract leads. For example, we recommend creating an eBook. If you’re looking for sellers, a ‘Guide for Home Sellers’ will be a great way to attract their attention. As long as it answers a need or a common question for sellers, they’re likely to be interested.

Landing Page

A landing page is a simple page that outlines your services and highlights. Typically landing pages are very simple and do not list everything you offer. This will only confuse your prospects and they will turn away from your website. Keep your landing page simple, have a CTA (call to action), offer a lead capture form, and testimonials.

Lead Capture Form

A lead capture form allows a lead to enter their information in return for information. This information can be a list of homes in a particular school district or home values in a certain neighborhood. Some lead capture includes a form to fill out while others allow leads to login with their Facebook login thus eliminating the need to manually enter their information.
