How to Set Up LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms for Your LinkedIn Page

What is a LinkedIn Lead Gen Form?

Let’s start with the basics.

LinkedIn Lead Gen. Forms are forms outlined as templates that allow you to collect and store leads directly from your LinkedIn page.

They also work hand in hand with LinkedIn Ads, meaning you can create a campaign within LinkedIn Ads and direct users to your lead gen form once they click. However, in this article, I’ll be focusing mainly on the LinkedIn company page setup.

When a member clicks on a call-to-action button on a LinkedIn ad with an attached Lead Gen Form, their contact and profile information is automatically filled in. Here is what it should look like:

And as you can see, the form is pre-filled with accurate data from their LinkedIn profile, so you can be sure you’re getting quality leads.

Is it safe? 🤔

You might be wondering; in a time where people usually look for ways to hide their data, why would someone be willing to share their contact information so easily?

Well, fear not! LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms are as safe and secure as they come. We’ll get into it later when we dive into how you create and use them, but for now, just know that as long as you create Lead Gen Forms correctly and ethically, you’re good to go! 

It’s straightforward; LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms are simply and specifically designed to make it convenient for members to share their data. This is meant for those leads who have advanced in your sales funnel quite a bit, so mid to bottom of the funnel.

So because these people are already interested in your business and ready to engage in a more concrete way, they can just fill out the Lead Gen Form and have their information stored in your database. 📝

What are the benefits of LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms?

We’ve gone over the most straightforward benefit which is simply how easy it is to generate leads on LinkedIn with Lead Gen Forms, but it doesn’t stop there!

Indeed, there are quite a few other benefits to developing these forms:

• Time savings: Ah yes, the ever-precious time. Lead Gen Forms will save you a lot of it! They make it so it takes a lot less time and effort to collect leads from LinkedIn.
• Simplified data collection: Since leads are coming to you instead of you outreaching to them, it’s much easier to collect data. Plus, since their LinkedIn profile is pre-filled into the form, it saves you time from manually inputting their contact information.
• Accurate data: LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms are connected directly to each lead’s profile. Since LinkedIn is getting ever so strict with its identification practices, you can be sure that the contact information and data you get are accurate
• Lead quality: As mentioned earlier, since the contact form is pre-filled with accurate data from their LinkedIn profile, you’ll be sure to get quality leads.

In short, LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms make it easy to generate high-quality leads, simplify the lead generation process, and save time for both you and your prospects.

By using them strategically, you can improve conversions, accuracy, and lead quality, leading to more meaningful conversations and ultimately, more business.

How to create LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms?

Now that we’ve gone over the basics, let’s dive into how exactly you can create and use LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms.

Creating a LinkedIn Lead Gen Form is actually quite simple. Let’s check out how to do just that step by step!

Step 1: Go to your company’s admin view

It’s very important to note that in order to create and edit a LinkedIn Lead Gen From, you need Super Admin access to your LinkedIn company page.

Once you have that, simply go to your LinkedIn company page and make sure you’re viewing it as an Administrator.

Step 2: Head to the leads section

• Scroll and find the “Analytics” tab
• Click on “Leads”, this is where you’ll find all your Lead analytics
• Click on “Add lead gen form”

This process can also be done from the “Edit Page” button on the left-hand column of your company page.

Simply scroll down > Edit Page > Leads > Lead gen form

Step 3: Create and customize your lead gen form

Once you click on “Add lead gen form”, you’ll have to fill out the details of the template.

At this point, it’s also important to note that your company website has a Privacy Policy page. This is important because it will be linked in the Lead Gen Form. Then all you have to do is:

• Choose your call-to-action from the dropdown list
• Agree to LinkedIn page terms
• Write your headline with a maximum of 50 characters
• Write your body copy with a maximum of 200 characters
• In the end, you’ll see a preview of the lead form

And that’s it! All that’s left for you is to save the changes you made. Once you do that, LinkedIn will ask you if you want to make a post to promote your Lead Gen Form.

You can then publish the post or choose to schedule it for a later time, whichever suits you best.

And that’s how you create a LinkedIn Lead Gen Form! Easy, right? 💪

That said, in the next section, we’ll dive into how you can go further with your Lead Gen Forms with the use of a couple of other tools.

Here’s an example of a recent campaign I ran. Nothing too fancy, just simple LinkedIn outreach along with an email follow-up in case they don’t answer.

You can see that I start by adding the lead as a connection on LinkedIn and I wait 4 days for them to accept. If they don’t, I reach out to them by email.

And since every campaign needs an audience, I simply create one where I will add the leads I got from my LinkedIn Lead Gen Form and link it to my sequence!

Step 3: Connect your lead source with Zapier

Now, this is where it gets interesting. LaGrowthMachine has many native integrations, chief among them is Zapier. We’ll simply create a Zap that pulls leads from LinkedIn and adds them to your LaGrowthMachine sequence.

• Create the action: Create a Lead in an Audience in LaGrowthMachine

• Connect your LaGrowthMachine account
• Choose which audience to add the lead
