Wegic AI Lead Capture: Turn Your Website into a Lead Machine

A website without lead capture is a brochure. A website with strategic lead capture is a sales machine. The difference is not traffic — it is conversion. The same 1,000 visitors can generate 5 leads or 50 leads depending on how you capture them.

Wegic AI can build all types of lead capture: contact forms, quote request forms, newsletter signups, lead magnet downloads, and exit-intent popups. This guide covers each one, with the exact prompts to request them from Wegic AI.

Quick answer: can Wegic AI build lead capture forms?

Yes. Wegic AI generates contact forms, newsletter signups, quote request forms, and lead magnet download forms. Describe the form fields, placement, and integration in the chat. Wegic builds functional forms with validation and submission handling.

5 types of lead capture to build with Wegic AI

Each type serves a different stage of the customer journey:

  • Contact form: Basic name + email + message form on the contact page. For prospects ready to reach out. Conversion rate: 1-3%.
  • Quote request form: Detailed form with project type, budget, timeline, and requirements. For high-intent B2B leads. Conversion rate: 5-15%.
  • Newsletter signup: Simple email-only form in sidebar, footer, or dedicated section. For top-of-funnel lead capture. Conversion rate: 2-5%.
  • Lead magnet download: Email gate in front of a free resource (ebook, template, checklist). For mid-funnel lead capture. Conversion rate: 20-40%.
  • Exit-intent popup: Popup triggered when visitor moves cursor toward browser close. Last-chance offer before leaving. Conversion rate: 2-5%.

Building a contact form with Wegic AI

Here is the exact prompt to generate a high-converting contact form:

  1. Type "Add a contact form to the contact page with these fields: Name (required), Email (required), Company (optional), Phone (optional), Project type (dropdown: Web Design, Video Production, Marketing Strategy, Other), Budget (dropdown: Under $5k, $5k-$15k, $15k-$50k, $50k+), Message (required, textarea)."
  2. Add "Include form validation — required fields show red borders if empty. Show a success message after submission: 'Thanks! We'll respond within 24 hours.'"
  3. Add "Send form submissions to [your email] and store them in a spreadsheet. Connect to [Google Sheets / Airtable / Zapier]."
  4. Review the generated form. Test it by filling it out and submitting. — Review the generated form. Test it by filling it out and submitting.
  5. Request adjustments "Make the form wider on desktop, use placeholder text for each field, and add a checkbox for 'I agree to the privacy policy.'"

Fewer fields = higher conversion. A contact form with 3 fields (name, email, message) converts at 25-30%. A form with 8 fields converts at 10-15%. Start with fewer fields and add more only if you need better lead qualification.

Building a lead magnet download system

Lead magnets convert 5-10x better than plain newsletter signups. Here is how to build one with Wegic AI:

  1. Create your lead magnet a PDF ebook, checklist, template, or resource guide (5-20 pages)
  2. Type "Create a landing page for a free [ebook/template/checklist] download. Title: [title]. Description: [2-3 sentences]. Include an email capture form (email only, no name). After submission, show the download link."
  3. Add "After email submission, redirect to a thank-you page with the download button. Also send an automated email with the download link."
  4. Add "Show a preview of the first 2 pages on the landing page. Include 3 bullet points of what's inside."
  5. Connect to email "Integrate the form with [Mailchimp / ConvertKit / Beehiiv]. Add new emails to the [list name] list."
  6. Track conversions "Add a Google Analytics 4 event when the download button is clicked. Name it 'lead_magnet_download.'"

Exit-intent popups: the last-chance capture

Exit-intent popups capture 2-5% of visitors who were about to leave. Here is how to add one:

  • Type: "Add an exit-intent popup that appears when the visitor moves their cursor toward the top of the browser (desktop) or after 30 seconds of inactivity (mobile)."
  • Offer: "Popup content: 'Wait! Get our free [resource] before you go.' Include an email signup form and a download button."
  • Design: "Popup should have a dark overlay background, white card, bold headline, and a single CTA button. Include a close X in the top right."
  • Frequency: "Show the popup only once per visitor. Use localStorage to prevent repeat displays for 7 days."
  • A/B test: Create 2 versions with different headlines and offers. Test for 2 weeks, then keep the winner.

Do not show exit-intent popups on the first page view. Wait until the visitor has viewed 2+ pages or spent 30+ seconds on site. Showing a popup immediately creates a negative first impression and increases bounce rate.

CRM integration: where do leads go?

Captured leads need to flow into a CRM or email tool. Wegic AI supports integrations:

  • Mailchimp: Request: "Connect all form submissions to Mailchimp. Add to the [list name] audience. Include tags: [source, page]."
  • ConvertKit: Request: "Connect forms to ConvertKit. Add subscribers to the [form/sequence name]. Tag with [source]."
  • Google Sheets: Request: "Log all form submissions to a Google Sheet. Columns: date, name, email, company, message."
  • Airtable: Request: "Send form submissions to Airtable base [name]. Map fields to columns."
  • Zapier: Request: "Connect forms to Zapier webhook URL [URL]. This lets me route leads to any CRM."
  • Webhook: For custom integrations, request: "POST form data to webhook URL [URL] as JSON."
