See your first lead

The best way to know Lead Source is working is to send yourself a lead.

1. Make sure you’ve added Lead Source to your website and published the change.

2. Go to your live website and fill in one of your forms as if you were a customer. Use a real-looking name and email so it’s easy to spot.

3. Open your Lead Source account and go to Leads. Your test should appear at the top within a couple of seconds.

4. Click it. You’ll see the details captured from the form, and a plain label saying where the lead came from — in this case, most likely “typed your address straight in”, because you went to the site yourself.

Try it with a tracking link

Want to see the source labelling shine? Visit your site through one of your own ads, or paste a link from your newsletter, then submit the form. Lead Source will label that lead with the source it actually came through. More on how this works: Where your leads come from.

What happens next

From now on, every real form submission is captured the same way — no action needed from you. You can:

• Browse and filter your leads
• Export them for your CRM or a spreadsheet
• Turn on the responder (rolling out in stages) so new leads get a fast reply from your inbox

Didn’t see your test?

That usually means the snippet isn’t on the page you tested, or your form sends data in a way that needs one extra step. Work through Troubleshooting and you’ll find it.
