Domains
Set up your own address for landing pages and funnels, connect it with a DNS record and attach pages to it.
Here you connect your own address (for example booking.my-company.com) to Leadmode. Your landing pages and funnels then appear under this address instead of the default address. You find the page in the menu under Marketing → Domains.
You need the CRM module. Only organisation admins may add or remove a website. Attaching and detaching pages is allowed for the project lead of the page's project (and for an organisation admin). Everyone else can see the page. The area is not released for partner access. See Roles and permissions.
This page only manages addresses. You build the pages themselves under Landing pages and Funnels.
Connect a website
On your first visit, the page says "Connect your website". Enter the address under Address of your website, for example booking.my-company.com, and click Connect. Later you add more with Add website.
The website appears with the status Waiting for connection and instructions for the DNS record at your domain provider.
At your domain provider, create a record of type CNAME. Leadmode shows you the Name and Target with copy buttons. Under "Where is your domain?", choose your provider (IONOS, Strato, GoDaddy, All-Inkl, Cloudflare, Namecheap, Hostinger, Hetzner or "Other provider"). A step-by-step guide then appears. The labels at the provider may differ slightly.
Click Check connection. As soon as the record is found, the status changes to Connected. DNS changes sometimes take a while, so check again later. If a note appears below the guide, it tells you what Leadmode found.
We recommend a subdomain such as booking.my-company.com. Your existing website then stays unchanged. Not every provider allows the record on the main address itself.
Typical pitfalls: the name in the record is only the part before your domain (for example booking, not booking.my-company.com), and the target is written without https:// and without a slash.
Attach pages to the website
The card of the website lists Pages on this website with all connected pages and their addresses. There are two ways:
- Connect page on the card: choose a landing page or a funnel and the name in the address. Leaving it empty means the page sits on the start page of the address. If that name is already taken, Leadmode suggests a name for the page.
- Custom domain in the editor of a landing page or funnel: there you choose the website and the name in the address and click Connect. See Landing pages.
A page can be reached under the address as soon as the website is connected and the page is published. Use the detach icon next to a page to remove it from the address again. It then stays online under its default address.
You remove a website with the bin icon. Connected pages remain and can afterwards be reached under their default address.
Search files and traffic light
As soon as an address is Connected, Leadmode automatically serves three files under it:
sitemap.xml: the pages search engines should know about.robots.txt: allows search engines access and names the sitemap.llms.txt: a short summary for AI search with the name, title and description of each page.
Only published pages whose start page is released for search are included (see Landing pages, section “Search and AI”). Thank-you and result pages and funnels without release are not listed. If no page is released, there is no sitemap and no llms.txt. Before the connection, none of the three files exist, and for the default address there are none.
Next to each page in the list, a traffic light shows its state for search: Search: complete, Search: title or description missing or Not for search. It refers to the draft.
Limits
- The certificate for
https://is created as soon as the DNS record is recognised. - The guides of the domain providers are described in substance. The providers' interfaces may differ.
