LeadPages Popups – How to Add a Popup on LeadPages?

Hey everyone! :raising_hands: I’ve been working on optimizing lead capture on my LeadPages site and looking for solid popup solutions. I’ve used the built-in LeadPages popup builder before, but I want to explore better customization, targeting, and analytics.

I’ve been eyeing Popupsmart and tools like Picreel and WiserNotify, but not sure which one is best for LeadPages.

:speech_balloon: Anyone here using Popupsmart with LeadPages? What’s the integration like? Would love your tips or walkthroughs!

Hey theo999, you’re in the right place! :waving_hand:

I’ve been using Popupsmart with LeadPages for a while now and trust me—it’s a game-changer, especially for targeted lead generation!

:white_check_mark: Here’s How I Set Up My Popupsmart Popup on LeadPages:

By following these steps, you can create your LeadPages popup quickly:

1. Register to Popupsmart and sign in to your account.

2. Click on the “Embed Code” part to get your Popupsmart embed code.

3. Then, copy your embed code to the clipboard when the modal appears.

4. Go to your LeadPages dashboard and click on the “Sites” section.

5. Click on the edit button as shown below to edit the site to which you want to add an embed code to.

6. Then, go to the “Widgets” section and click on the “HTML” part.

7. Drag and drop the HTML widget to the footer section of your website. Then, paste your Popupsmart embed code to the HTML widget, as shown below. When you are finished, click on the “Update” button.

Your LeadPages code injection process is now complete!

8. Go back to your Popupsmart dashboard and click on the “Websites” part from your profile.

9. Click on “New website” to add your LeadPages website.

10. Type down your website"s URL to the “Add a new website” part and click on the “Save” button.

If you see your website unverified, click the “Unverified” button and from the opening modal, click “Verify website” then return to your dashboard and click “Refresh”.

For further details about the verification of your website, see How to Verify Your Website.

11. Go to the dashboard and click on the “New Campaign” button.

12. Create your popup campaign and customize it independently. When you are done creating your popup, click on the “Save” and “Publish” buttons.

13. Your LeadPages website’s popup is ready now! You will see the publish modal when your campaign is successful.

It doesn’t require any coding skills—one line of JS and boom, it works :collision:


Thanks for that guide, Michelle! :fire:

I’ll just emphasize something many users miss—you don’t need a plugin for this integration. Popupsmart works with any CMS, including LeadPages, with just the embed script. And it’s fully compatible with Google Tag Manager too.

Also, for devs or power users, you can connect it to CRMs like HubSpot, Mailchimp, or Zapier with just a few clicks. See all integration options here: Popupsmart Integrations

Okay, I’ve tried both LeadPages native popups and Picreel, so here’s my honest breakdown for anyone undecided:

:speech_balloon: LeadPages Built-In Popups

Pros:

  • Integrated, no third-party tool needed.

  • Easy drag-and-drop interface.

  • Decent for basic lead forms.

Cons:

  • No A/B testing.

  • Limited behavior tracking.

  • Very basic targeting rules.

:speech_balloon: Picreel Popups

Pros:

  • Advanced targeting (exit-intent, scroll depth, etc.)

  • Works across platforms.

  • Offers A/B testing and real-time analytics.

Cons:

  • Slight learning curve.

  • Higher pricing tiers.

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: But ultimately, I switched to Popupsmart because of its simplicity + advanced targeting in one clean UI.

Love this convo! As a small biz owner running promo campaigns, popups have helped me grow my email list and promote limited-time deals.

I’ve recently added a video popup using WiserNotify to my LeadPages. Super smooth integration and great UX. Here’s what I did:

:movie_camera: How I Added a WiserNotify Video Popup:

  1. Created an account at WiserNotify.

  2. Selected a video popup template and customized with my brand.

  3. Uploaded my product demo via YouTube link.

  4. Configured trigger rules (e.g., 5 seconds after page load).

  5. Generated pixel code and pasted into the HTML widget on LeadPages.

Perfect for promoting flash sales or tutorials! :light_bulb:

@dolay-irem yesss, same here! But just a heads-up to everyone—

:warning: Common MISTAKES to Avoid:

  • :cross_mark: Don’t spam visitors with multiple popups.

  • :cross_mark: Avoid large/intrusive popups on mobile.

  • :white_check_mark: Use exit-intent or scroll triggers.

  • :white_check_mark: Always give users an easy way to close popups.

I’ve been using Popupsmart with a scroll-depth trigger—super helpful for getting engagement without being annoying. A/B testing helped me go from 2% to 6.5% conversion :test_tube:

Great thread!! :brain: Just wanted to clarify a FAQ I get all the time from design clients:

:red_question_mark: “Do I need coding knowledge to use Popupsmart with LeadPages?”

NOPE!
Just:

  1. Design your popup.

  2. Copy the embed script.

  3. Paste it into an HTML widget on LeadPages.

Even beginners can handle it. For extra ease, check this visual help doc: Popupsmart Setup Guide

Hola from Lisbon! I’m running popups on a multilingual LeadPages setup using Popupsmart’s multi-language targeting :heart_eyes:

:sparkles: What works for me:

  • Offer localized incentives (freebie PDFs or coupons).

  • Use scroll & exit-intent combos.

  • Segment based on location + browser language.

Popupsmart lets me create language-specific popups without duplicate campaigns. Love the flexibility!

Thanks everyone for the awesome insights! :raising_hands:
