Capture Leads from Any Website with LeadSquared Form Widgets

1. Feature Overview

An LSQ Form widget acts as a “lead magnet”. An example of a lead magnet is a special deal offered to customers in exchange for their contact details. It can be a discount code, webinar, white paper, ebook, template, inquiry form, or another resource.

With LeadSquared, you can create and embed an LSQ Form Widget on your web page or landing page and start capturing leads in minutes.

Once the leads are captured, you can push them further down your sales funnel. For example, you can redirect the leads to a LeadSquared Application Portal, email them a welcome kit, or schedule a sales call.

FAQs

1. Can I remove the LeadSquared logo from the Widget?

The Widget can be white-labeled. Please get in touch with your account manager for more information or contact support@leadsquared.com.

2. Can I display the Widget inside an iframe?

The Widget is already loaded inside an iframe by default. Pasting the widget code inside another iframe will create nested iframes. It’s important to note that using nested iframes can result in slower page load times, increased memory usage, and potential conflicts between different iframe styles and scripts. Due to these considerations, it is not recommended to use the widget inside an iframe.

3. Do widgets capture UTM parameters?

If the URL contains UTM parameters, the widget will capture five standard UTM parameters –

  • utm_source
  • utm_medium
  • utm_campaign
  • utm_term
  • utm_content

These parameters will be recorded in the activity data. To view the captured parameters, please navigate to the Manage Activities page where you can access and analyze the captured UTM parameter data.
