By Impran M N
Turning website visitors into leads takes more than just a contact form buried on a page. This guide shows how to use HubSpot's marketing tools to build a full capture funnel, from a dedicated landing page to automated follow-up emails, so you can start collecting and nurturing leads with less manual work.
01Create a landing page
In the HubSpot Marketing dashboard, open the Landing Pages tool and start from one of the optimized template frameworks.
02Add a lead capture form
Use the Form Builder to drag custom fields like name, email, and job title into your page, along with any required checkboxes.
03Add a pop-up CTA
Build a sticky pop-up call-to-action and place it on high-traffic blog posts to capture visitors who are about to leave.
04Automate the follow-up
Connect your form to an automated workflow that sends an instant welcome email delivering a lead magnet or booking link.
05Track conversions
Open the analytics dashboard to review form impressions and conversion rates so you can refine the funnel over time.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a paid HubSpot plan to build landing pages?
HubSpot offers landing page and form tools on its free CRM tier with limited features, while more advanced templates and automation typically require a paid Marketing Hub plan.
Can I add pop-up CTAs to pages outside HubSpot?
Yes, HubSpot's pop-up forms can generally be embedded on any web page using a tracking script, not just pages built in HubSpot.
How fast does the automated follow-up email send after someone submits a form?
Workflow-triggered emails typically fire within moments of a form submission, though exact timing depends on how the workflow is configured.
Where do I check how many leads a landing page is generating?
The analytics dashboard shows real-time impressions, submissions, and conversion rate data for each landing page and form.
