Lead-Gen Site
Also known as: lead-gen sites, lead generation site, lead generation website
A website built to attract people who need a service and turn them into leads for a business.
Definition
A lead-gen site earns value by bringing in people with a clear need and sending those inquiries to a business. The site may sell the lead, route it to a partner, or use it to support the owner's own service business.
Example
A local site that ranks for emergency plumbing searches and sends form submissions to a plumbing company is a lead-gen site.
Important Context
Lead-gen value depends on trust, local or topical rankings, conversion quality, response speed, and the buyer's ability to turn leads into revenue.
