Leadpages integrates with Calendly

Save time and seamlessly schedule online appointments with Leadpages’ new Calendly Widget.

Simply grab your Calendly link and publish your availability directly to your landing page or include it in a pop-up lightbox. From one-on-one consultations to private sales calls, use Calendly to grow your email list, keep in touch with your community, and keep away from back-and-forth emails.

As one of the most popular online scheduling apps available today, thousands of busy small business owners and marketers use Calendly every day to take some of the headaches out of back and forth emails.

Now, with the new Leadpages Calendly widget, it’s easy to make a date, set a time, book an appointment, connect with your community, and schedule your visitors at the peak of their interest without ever taking them away from your site or pointing them towards a second browser tab.

Simply grab the Calendly link associated with your personal schedule and drop it directly into the widget when you add it to your landing page or thank you page. Use it to schedule a sales demo, offer a free consultation as a lead magnet, or make a date with your highest-quality leads or customers as they progress through your marketing funnel.

Why are we crazy for Calendly?

Sleekly designed and easy-to-use, it’s no mystery why more than 2 million people use Calendly every month and have made it the leading online scheduling app. So, when Leadpages customers let us know that they’d love to have more landing page scheduling tools, Calendly was at the very top of our list. New to Calendly? Not a problem. You can get with Calendly for free.

Use the Leadpages' Calendly Widget to easily connect with your community

For growing businesses and crazy-busy professionals, the Calendly widget makes it easy to keep in touch with your community, improve your marketing funnel, and cut down on the administration time it takes to find a meeting time that works for both parties.

By embedding your schedule directly on your landing page or thank-you page, you can easily prompt your web visitors to book an available time with you right then and there—when they’re most interested in your offer and most likely to convert.

Already the Leadpages Calendly widget has been used in dozens of different applications to support a variety of lead generation and customer-engagement campaigns.

Here are just a few ideas to help get you started:

Grow your Email List by Offering a Free Consultation

Professional service providers—from life coaches to fitness trainers, financial planners to interior decorators—know that free consultations work wonders when it comes to growing an email list and pre-qualifying leads. Simply offer a free consultation as a lead magnet and invite registrants to book a time directly on the thank you page.

Pro Tip: Save Your Free Consultation for a Retargeting Campaign

Offering personal consultations is an excellent way to meaningfully connect with clients, showcase your ability to provide value, and convert leads into customers. The problem is—who has time for all that? By reserving your 1:1 consultations for retargeting audiences or existing leads (rather than cold traffic), not only will you enjoy a higher conversion rate but you’ll also focus your time on audiences who are most likely to pay you at the end of the day

Connect With Your Community With Streamlined Appointment Scheduling

The Calendly Widget is a wonderful way to eliminate administrative headaches (and reduce the need to hire a virtual assistant). Simply embed your Calendly page on a landing page and share it with the key members of your community who need to book one-on-one time with you.

You might use it to:

  • Discuss partnership opportunities with adjacent businesses
  • Chat with a guest blogger or podcast guest to nail down the details of your campaign or collaboration
  • Interview a customer for a potential case study
  • Check-in with a third-party vendor, freelancer, or contractor

The possibilities are endless and the time-savings are magnificent.

Not to mention that by offering an online scheduling tool embedded beautifully on your branded landing page, you win major credibility points right off the bat.

Sell Your Product by Scheduling Virtual Demos

Try these ideal landing page templates for the Calendly Widget

The Calendly widget can easily be used on any Leadpages landing page, but we’ve put together a few new template designs to help you hit the ground running.

Calendly-Friendly Leadpages Templates

Here’s how to embed Calendly right on your landing pages:

Calendly makes it easy for you to find the right time and Leadpages makes it easy to find the right place to share your availability. Depending on the type of audience and campaign you’re crafting, you’ll find lots of flexibility for how you can deploy this feature.

Showcase your scheduling page in one of three ways: embedded directly on the page, or as a pop-up that triggers from the click of a button or hyperlink text.

Let’s show you how that’s done:

Embed your full scheduling page directly on the page.

Locate the new Calendly widget from the widget sidebar within the Leadpages builder. Simply drag and drop it onto the page, paste your Calendly link directly into the widget, and voila! You’re good to go.

Trigger your scheduling page pop-up from the click of a button.

When booking time is the primary call to action on a page, set your button action to display your Calendly page within a pop-up (sometimes referred to as a lightbox). Simply hover over the button you’d like to enable, select ‘Add Click Event,’ and ‘Open a Calendly pop-up’ in the drop-down menu. Paste in your Calendly link and you’re all set!

Trigger your scheduling page pop-up from a hyperlink on the page.

Want to keep your availability present but a little less prominent? Include it as a text hyperlink. Simply highlight the text you’d like to use as an anchor, and select the link icon, then choose ‘Open a Calendly Pop-up’ from the drop-down menu. Paste in your Calendly link and you’re all set!
