Maps aren’t just for directions anymore. With Proxi, your map becomes a lead-generation machine, transforming your audience’s interaction into actionable growth opportunities. Whether you’re a content creator, real estate portfolio manager, or newsletter manager, Proxi’s Lead Generation Suite helps you collect valuable leads while engaging your audience in meaningful ways. 

1. Email Gate: Build Your List with Exclusive Access

Email gating offers a win-win: your audience gets exclusive access to your map, and you grow your email list with validated, high-quality leads.

How It Works:

Visitors must submit a valid email address to unlock your map. You can choose to let them preview some points to tease what’s inside or fully gate the map for a premium experience.

Example Use Cases:

A travel blogger offering an exclusive “Top Hidden Gems in Paris” map.
A real estate guide showcasing premium listings for subscribers only.
A local business directory providing access to curated recommendations.

Why It Works

This approach not only grows your list but also ensures that your audience is genuinely interested in your content, increasing the likelihood of future engagement.

2. Map Pop-Up Forms: Convert Browsers into Subscribers

Pop-up forms on your map are a subtle yet effective way to engage viewers and encourage them to take action without breaking their experience.

How It Works:

As viewers explore your map, a strategically timed pop-up appears, prompting them to sign up for a newsletter, receive a discount code, or unlock additional content from you. 

Example Use Cases:

A foodie map offering subscribers access to exclusive restaurant recommendations and deals.
A relocation guide offering subscribers access to weekly events and news about their new city. 

Why It Works:

Pop-ups keep your map dynamic and interactive, while the seamless integration ensures they don’t feel intrusive.

3. Point Inquiry Forms: Focused Lead Collection

Sometimes, your audience is drawn to specific details rather than the whole picture. Point inquiry forms let them zoom in and request additional information about particular points on your map.

How It Works:

Each point on your map can feature a form that viewers fill out to learn more about a specific location, business, or opportunity.

Example Use Cases:

A real estate agent’s map where viewers inquire about open houses or pricing for properties.
A landscaping company’s project portfolio map where viewers can inquire about specific projects and services. 

Why It Works:

This targeted approach creates personalized interactions that lead to higher conversion rates and more qualified leads.

4. Paywalls: Monetize Your Map While Collecting Leads

Why just collect emails when you can also monetize your content? Proxi’s paywalls allow you to charge for map access, combining revenue generation with lead collection.

How It Works:

Viewers pay a fee and submit their email to access your map. This method ensures you attract serious, engaged users who value your content.

Example Use Cases:

A travel influencer charging for a “Best Beaches in the World” guide.
An event planner offering a map of exclusive VIP experiences at a festival.
A professional organization sharing a curated industry resource map.

Why It Works:

Paywalls create a sense of exclusivity while diversifying your income streams, making your map both a lead magnet and a revenue driver.

5. Passport Challenges: Make Lead Generation Fun

Who says lead generation can’t be engaging? Passport Challenges gamify the process, encouraging your audience to participate and interact with your map.

How It Works:

Participants sign up with their email to join the challenge. They track their progress digitally by checking in at map points or completing specific tasks, earning rewards along the w

Example Use Cases:

A brewery tour map where users check in at each location to earn rewards or discounts.
A shop small business Saturday guide encouraging visits to local businesses. 

Why It Works:

Challenges motivate audiences to engage with your map over time, building a stronger connection to your brand while generating valuable leads.

6. Best Of Voting Awards: Community Engagement Meets Lead Generation

“Best Of” awards are a fantastic way to bring communities together while collecting leads. Proxi maps make it easy to organize and manage these community choice campaigns.

How It Works:

Participants submit their votes through the map and provide their email address as part of the process.

Example Use Cases:

A “Best Halloween Display in Town” contest to spotlight neighborhood creativity.
A local business competition for categories like Best Coffee Shop or Best Boutique.

Why It Works:

This format fosters community participation while growing your email list with interested, engaged voters.

‍

7. Crowdsource Map Points: Empower Your Audience

Turn your audience into collaborators by allowing them to contribute points to your map. To ensure quality and maintain contact, Proxi requires contributors to submit their emails.

How It Works:

Users can add points to your map, such as hidden gems, recommendations, or personal favorites, but must provide their email as part of the submission.

Example Use Cases:

A community project mapping the best local hiking trails.
A collaborative foodie map featuring user-submitted favorite restaurants.
A crowdsourced map of must-visit holiday light displays.

Why It Works:

By engaging your audience directly, you build a sense of community and collect leads from people who care about your map’s content.
