Lead Capture Settings let you choose the way that consumers can search and view properties on your website, and how many they can view before being required to register. With Buying Buddy, you have the ability to customize the way leads are captured on your website.
For example:
- Require registration in order to exceed a specified number of property searches (forced registration), or allow unlimited searches
- Direct traffic to specified landing pages, or 'squeeze pages', requiring completion of lead capture forms
- Or combinations of the above
Configure Lead Capture settings
Go to Lead Capture settings for your account:
Use the options in this panel to set defaults for:
- Automatically create New-Listing Alerts.
When leads register on your website this option will automatically create a property alert for them - as long as they have viewed at least one property and did not create an alert themselves. - Restrict Searching:
'Suggest Registration Every' sets how often someone is prompted to register as they search.
And 'Require Registration After' sets the limit of searches before being required to register.
If you set a value for 'require' that is > 0, this must be greater than any value you set for 'suggest'. - Restrict Property Views:
'Suggest Registration Every' sets how often someone is prompted to register as they view listings.
And 'Require Registration After' sets the limit of property views before being required to register.
If you set a value for 'require' that is > 0, this must be greater than any value you set for 'suggest'. - Require Phone Number when Registering:
Make the phone number a required field on the sign up / registration form.

Debug Mode
