How to create a thank-you page after a Leadpages form?
After filling in your form, visitors should see right away that their sign-up worked. A thank-you page reassures them, tells them what to do next and lets you count your sign-ups precisely.
The essentials in 30 seconds
- Create a new page from a template
- Write a short, useful message
- Deliver the promised freebie
- Offer the next step
- Publish it and connect it to the form
- Test and count your sign-ups
Avoid: Keeping the default « Thank you » message: visitors do not know what to do next.

Create a new page from a template
In Leadpages, create a new landing page. In the template gallery, filter on thank-you pages (« Thank You ») and pick a simple template. Give it a clear name, for example « Thanks – checklist ».
- 2
Write a short, useful message
A headline that confirms (« You're in! »), then what happens next: « Open the email we just sent to confirm your address. » Remind them to check their spam folder.

Deliver the promised freebie
If you promised a guide or a checklist, add a « Download » button that links to the file. Visitors get it right away, without waiting for the email.

Offer the next step
Make the most of this moment of trust: a link to your Shopify store with a welcome code, an intro video or your social accounts. One main button, not five.

Publish it and connect it to the form
Publish the thank-you page. Then open the page that holds the form, click the form and look for what happens after submission (« After submitting » or « Form actions », depending on the version). Choose to show a Leadpages page and select your thank-you page. Update the form page.

Test and count your sign-ups
Sign up with your own address: you should land on the thank-you page and the contact should reach your email tool. Each visit to this page is a sign-up: in Google Analytics, you can make it a key event to track your conversions.

Common mistakes

- Forgetting to update the form page after choosing the thank-you page: the old setting stays live.
- Adding too many links: one main button converts better.
