Lead magnets are one of the most effective tools for turning website visitors into leads.

They’re simple:
You offer something valuable—like an eBook, checklist, or template—in exchange for a visitor’s contact info.

Inside ClearCRM, lead magnets are tightly integrated with your forms and landing pages, making them an essential part of your marketing flow.

Step 1: Navigate to Lead Magnets

To get started:

  • Go to the Marketing section from the left-hand menu.

  • Click on Lead Magnets & Forms.

  • Make sure you’re on the Lead Magnets tab.

Here you’ll see a searchable, categorized list of your existing lead magnets. You can also export them when needed.

Step 2: Create a New Lead Magnet

Click the Add New Lead Magnet button.

On the creation page, fill in:

  • Name – The title of your downloadable resource

  • Category – Choose an existing one or create a new one using the ➕ button

  • Download Points – Set the value of the magnet (optional, for gated content strategies)

  • Color – Assign a color for visual clarity

  • Published – Toggle this on when you're ready to go live

  • Description – Add a short summary

  • File Upload – Upload the actual PDF, image, or file your users will download

When you’re done, click Save.

Why Use Lead Magnets?

Lead magnets are about creating a value exchange:
👉 “Give me your email and I’ll give you this helpful resource.”

Once someone downloads your magnet, they become a lead inside ClearCRM—ready for follow-up, email campaigns, or direct outreach.

Best Practice: Combine with Forms and Pages

Lead magnets work best when paired with:

  • Forms – To collect user data

  • Landing Pages – To showcase the offer and drive conversions

You can embed your forms directly on your website or on any landing page built with ClearCRM.

This trio—Form + Magnet + Page—is the engine behind automated lead generation in your system.
