I have been a loyal user of\u00a0Leadpages<\/strong>\u00a0for a very long time and have successfully built countless landing pages using their platform.<\/p>\n

Recently, I discovered the tremendous potential of using popups on my landing pages to grow my email list and improve click-through rates.<\/p>\n

There are two options to consider when designing popups for your Leadpages website: utilizing Leadpages’ built-in popup builder or selecting a standardized popup tool like\u00a0Picreel<\/a>. Let me demonstrate how my Picreel popup appears on a Leadpages site:<\/p>\n

\"Leadpages<\/p>\n

In this blog post, I will not only guide you on how to create a popup in Leadpages but also compare Leadpages’ own popup builder with Picreel as a standardized popup tool.<\/p>\n

But before we dive into the methods of creating popups, let’s first understand the distinction between Leadpages’ own popup feature and a standardized popup tool like Picreel.<\/p>\n

By comparing the two based on various criteria, we can determine which option suits your specific needs best. Here are the aspects we will evaluate:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
Criteria<\/th>Leadpages<\/th>Picreel<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Targeting Options<\/td>\u2705 Leadpages provides basic targeting options such as trigger events, time delays, and exit intent pop-ups.<\/td>\u2705 Picreel offers advanced targeting, which includes features like visitor behavior-based targeting and exit intent technology that detects when a visitor is about to leave the website.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Integrations<\/td>\u2705 Leadpages allows users to connect with their email service provider to capture leads.<\/td>\u2705 Picreel offers integration with over 700 apps, including popular CRM, email marketing, and e-commerce platforms.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Customization Options<\/td>\u2705 Leadpages offers a drag-and-drop builder for designing opt-in forms.<\/td>\u2705 Picreel also allows users to customize the CSS of their pop-ups, giving users complete control over the design and ensuring the pop-ups align with their brand identity and website aesthetics.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Behavior Tracking<\/td>\u274c Leadpages does not include behavior-tracking capabilities.<\/td>\u2705 With Picreel, real-time behavior tracking and analytics are available, enabling marketers to gain insights into visitor behavior patterns such as mouse movements and scrolling.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A\/B Testing<\/td>\u274c Leadpages Popup does not include A\/B testing functionality.<\/td>\u2705 With Picreel, you can conduct A\/B testing to experiment with different versions of their pop-ups.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<\/div>\n

Now, based on my personal experience, I recommend using Picreel for the following top reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Superior Features:<\/strong>\u00a0Picreel offers a wide range of advanced features that can enhance the effectiveness of your popups, such as\u00a0exit-intent triggers,\u00a0A\/B testing<\/a><\/strong>, and analytics.<\/li>\n
  2. Extensive Customization Options:<\/strong>\u00a0With Picreel, you can create highly customized popups that perfectly align with your brand aesthetics and messaging.<\/li>\n
  3. Multi-platform Support:<\/strong>\u00a0Unlike Leadpages’ popup, Picreel works across multiple platforms, ensuring that your popup tool remains intact regardless of any platform changes you make.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Nevertheless, in this tutorial, I will explain how to create a popup using both methods: Leadpages’ built-in popup builder and Picreel.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>Method 1: Using Leadpages’ Built-in Popup<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Leadpages offers a built-in popup builder that you can efficiently utilize. Follow these steps to create a popup in Leadpages:<\/p>\n

    1.<\/strong> Navigate to Conversion Tools in your Leadpages navigation menu, then select Pop-Ups and click “Create New Pop-Up<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

    \"Create<\/p>\n

    2.<\/strong> Provide a descriptive name for your popup and click “Start Building<\/strong>” to open the popup builder.<\/p>\n

    3.<\/strong> Customize and add content to your popup by clicking on any widget you want to modify. For example, you can edit text or copy and paste a section from an existing popup.<\/p>\n

    \"Customize<\/p>\n

    4.<\/strong> Add new content widgets to your popup by clicking the widgets icon in the left-hand sidebar, selecting a widget, and dragging it onto the popup.<\/p>\n

    \"widgets<\/p>\n

    5.<\/strong> Rearrange or delete widgets by hovering over them. You will see a blue shaded area indicating where the widget will move when dragged and dropped.<\/p>\n

    \"Customize<\/p>\n

    6.<\/strong> Customize the background color or image of your popup by clicking on “Layout<\/strong>” in the left-hand sidebar or clicking the section name in the top-left corner of the popup.<\/p>\n

    \"Layout\"<\/p>\n

    7.<\/strong> Customize your form by default, the integration settings, form fields, and follow-up actions.<\/p>\n

    8.<\/strong> Once you have created your popup, click “Publish<\/strong>” in the top-right corner of the popup builder.<\/p>\n
