Shortcode

You can customize the form using shortcode attributes. Open the plugin’s Home screen in WordPress admin for the available options.

Managing Leads

After a visitor submits the form, the submission is saved as a lead in WordPress.

Open:

WordPress Admin Simple Lead Generator Leads

From there you can:

  • View submitted leads
  • Browse leads using pagination
  • Open contact information using available email or telephone links
  • Expand submitted messages
  • Delete leads you no longer need

Form Settings

The plugin provides settings for common form and lead-estimation options, including:

  • Form title and description
  • Submit button text
  • Success message
  • Close-rate estimate
  • Currency symbol
  • Monthly marketing cost

These settings help you customize the form and understand basic estimated lead economics without requiring an external CRM.

Privacy

Simple Lead Generator stores submitted lead information in your WordPress database.

The basic lead form does not require an external account or platform connection to operate.

Optional platform telemetry is disabled unless you choose to enable it.

Make sure your website’s privacy policy and data-handling practices appropriately describe how you collect, store, and use visitor information.
