7 Lead-Gen Plays That Generated 12,000+ Leads for Our Clients This Year

From frictionless quizzes to creator-led webinars — the channels actually moving pipeline.

Lead generation is the lifeblood of any local business. Here are seven strategies our clients use to consistently attract new leads online.

1. Optimize Your Google Business Profile

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing potential customers see. Complete every field, add photos weekly, respond to reviews, and post updates regularly. Businesses with complete profiles get 7x more clicks.

2. Create Lead Magnets

Offer something valuable in exchange for contact information — a free guide, checklist, discount code, or consultation. Put these offers on your website, social media, and ads.

3. Run Targeted Facebook Lead Ads

Facebook Lead Ads let users submit their information without leaving the platform. The lower friction means higher conversion rates. Target by location, demographics, interests, and behaviors.

4. Build Landing Pages That Convert

Don't send ad traffic to your homepage. Create dedicated landing pages with one clear offer, social proof, and a prominent form. Test different headlines, images, and CTAs to improve conversion rates.

5. Implement Live Chat or Chatbots

Add a chat widget to your website. Many visitors prefer chatting to calling or filling out forms. Even a simple chatbot that captures basic info can significantly increase your lead volume.

6. Leverage Email Marketing

Build an email list and nurture it with valuable content. Send weekly tips, special offers, and updates. Email marketing has an average ROI of $36 for every $1 spent.

7. Ask for Referrals Systematically

Don't wait for referrals to happen organically. Create a referral program with incentives. Send follow-up emails asking happy customers to refer friends. Make it easy by providing shareable links.
