A high-converting lead generation site with a polished landing page, embedded lead capture forms, automated email nurture sequences, CRM tracking in Airtable, and analytics to measure every step of the funnel. Visitors land on the page, fill out a form, enter an email drip campaign, and get tracked as leads through your pipeline.By the end of this recipe you will have a production-ready lead generation system that you can customize for any product, service, or offer.

Tech stack

You do not need to understand these technologies. Rocket handles them automatically. This table is for reference.

Architecture overview

Here is how the pieces connect:
  1. A visitor arrives on the landing page from an ad, social post, or search result.
  2. The visitor fills out a lead capture form (powered by Typeform or Tally) embedded on the page.
  3. When the form is submitted, a webhook sends the lead data to an API route in Next.js.
  4. The API route creates a new record in Airtable (your CRM) with the lead’s name, email, source, and status.
  5. The same API route adds the lead to a Mailchimp or Brevo audience and enrolls them in an automated email nurture sequence.
  6. Google Analytics tracks the form submission as a conversion event, along with the traffic source and UTM parameters.
  7. The entire site is deployed to Netlify with support for A/B testing different landing page variants.

How long does it take?

Step-by-step build

1

Start a new project

Open rocket.new and create a new project. Give Rocket a detailed description of the landing page so it scaffolds a high-converting layout from the start.
Landing pages live or die by their first impression. Be specific about the hero section, social proof, and CTA placement in your first prompt so Rocket nails the layout.
2

Build the landing page sections

Refine each section of the landing page to maximize conversions. Focus on clear messaging, strong visuals, and a single call to action.
3

Add the lead capture form

Embed a lead capture form that collects visitor information and triggers your automation pipeline.
Tally offers unlimited forms on its free tier and supports webhooks. Typeform has a more polished form experience with conditional logic but limits submissions on the free plan.
4

Connect email marketing

Set up automated email sequences to nurture leads after they submit the form.
Write all five emails before activating the sequence. Test the full flow with your own email address to check formatting, links, and timing between emails.
5

Set up CRM tracking in Airtable

Use Airtable as a lightweight CRM to track leads through your sales pipeline.
Airtable’s free tier supports up to 1,000 records per base, which is enough for early-stage lead generation. Upgrade when your volume grows.
6

Add analytics and conversion tracking

Connect Google Analytics to measure traffic sources, form submissions, and overall conversion rates.
7

Set up A/B testing

Test different versions of the landing page to find the highest-converting variant.
Only test one element at a time (headline, CTA color, form length) so you can attribute conversion differences to a specific change. Testing too many things at once makes it hard to draw conclusions.
8

Deploy to Netlify

Go to Integrations and connect Netlify, then deploy your landing page to the web.Use the Launch button in your Rocket project to deploy to the web. Rocket handles the Netlify build configuration automatically. Make sure all required environment variables are set in your project’s integration settings before launching.
After deploying, test the entire funnel end to end: visit the page from a link with UTM parameters, submit the form, verify the lead appears in Airtable, confirm the welcome email arrives, and check that the conversion event shows up in Google Analytics.

Customization ideas

Once the base lead generation site is running, here are ways to extend it.
Add a chat widget that engages visitors, answers common questions, and qualifies leads before they fill out the form.
Show real-time notifications when other people sign up to create urgency and social proof.
Capture visitors who are about to leave the page with a targeted popup offering an additional incentive.
Replace the single landing page with a multi-step funnel that guides visitors through a series of pages before the final conversion.
Let existing leads refer friends and track which referrals convert, creating a viral growth loop.

Troubleshooting

If visitors submit the form but nothing shows up in Airtable or your email tool, the form webhook may not be connected to your app. Make sure the webhook is enabled in your Typeform or Tally form settings, then ask Rocket to debug:
You can test by submitting the form yourself and checking whether the lead appears in Airtable.
If form submissions work but records do not show up in Airtable, the connection between your app and Airtable may need attention. Make sure Airtable is connected in your project’s Integrations panel, then ask Rocket to check:
If leads are not receiving your emails, the messages may be going to spam. This is usually a domain reputation issue. Ask Rocket to improve email deliverability:
If you are using a custom sending domain, check with your email provider (Mailchimp or Brevo) that your DNS records (SPF, DKIM) are set up correctly. Both services provide step-by-step guides for this.
