Create a "Lead Magnet"/"Lead capture" form with link/downloadable resource

You may have important information to share with your visitors, or maybe you can provide them with particular incentives. Since visitors might be willing to provide some of their personal information in order to receive this content, so you can use this opportunity to setup a simple "Lead Magnet"/"Lead capture" form. Examples of visitors details you might want to capture may include: Name, Email, Phone Number, Location, etc. Keep the number of form fields you have in mind as a long form may deter visitors from finishing the form, or starting it at all.

2. Once the form is created, Customize The Contact Form with the form fields you want to capture (for example: Name, Email Address, Phone Number).
