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
Forced Registration

- Limit Searches - Set a threshold of searches, after which the user must register to continue.

- Reminders - The ability to show a "prompt to register " after a specified number of searches or property-views.
Soft Registration:

- Save Search: Save as many searches as you like.
- Set up "Just Listed" email property alerts: User can create any number of 'Just-Listed' property email alerts
