How to block invalid emails in Leadpages landing pages and pop-up forms

Leadpages is a powerful landing page and lead generation platform designed to streamline the collection of email addresses and valuable information from website visitors: it offers a user-friendly interface with customizable templates, making it easy for users to create compelling landing pages and pop-up forms to capture leads and expand their mailing lists.

However, it's really important to ensure that the email addresses you collect are valid and deliverable to make your marketing efforts effective: in this article, we'll explain how to prevent invalid email addresses and typos on your Leadpages landing page using the free Verifalia widget, ensuring that you only accept valid email addresses in Leadpages.

How to verify email addresses in Leadpages

It looks like Leadpages relies on your web browser to check if email addresses are valid when people fill out forms on its landing pages and pop-ups. However, this method isn't foolproof, and there's no guarantee that the emails you collect this way will actually work. This means you might end up with typos, disposable / temporary email addresses, or emails that bounce back when you try to send messages to them.

Fortunately, you can easily make sure that the email addresses you gather in Leadpages will work properly by using the Verifalia widget: you don't need to be a tech expert because it's simple to add to your Leadpages landing page or pop-up form with no coding required. This widget automatically checks email addresses using the Verifalia email checker, which can tell if an email address actually exists and can receive emails, and stops invalid and undeliverable emails from getting into your Leadpages forms.
