## What is lead generation software?

Researched by: [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/resources/author/capterra/)

Updated on July 23, 2026

[Lead generation software](https://www.capterra.com/lead-generation-software/) helps businesses automate lead generation activities such as contact management, lead segmentation, form customization, surveys, social media marketing, lead assignment, and post-sale follow-up. 

Lead generation tools allow users to create web forms that capture leads data from sources including company websites and social media. Visitors to these pages might be required to complete a contact form to access restricted or gated information, such as pricing. These tools can also integrate with other applications such as CRM and customer service software.

## Considerations when purchasing lead generation software

-   **Callback timing:** Typically, lead generation software allows website visitors to leave their phone number or email if they want to be contacted. Some tools also allow visitors to specify when they would like that contact to occur. While evaluating software, keep an eye out for this feature as it can help reduce the possibility of missed leads. 
-   **Integration with other applications:** As leads can be collected from multiple channels including website forms, direct mail, phone calls, and virtual events, make sure your lead generation software integrates with applications such as Google and Facebook ad builders, your CRM tool, and multiple social media channels. This facilitates effective sales pipeline management.
