By default, all sites provide two ways for the website visitors and members to submit a lead - The Get Matched page/form and the Profile Contact form. In this article we will go over where to find these page and form and where to check them.

1. Get Matched Page & Form
The “Get Matched” form is used to receive general inquiries directly on the site and match them to members that meet the criteria set by the website visitor. To put it simply, the website visitors are looking to be contacted by members on the website who can assist them.
This is a growing use of online directories. Rather than spending hours browsing the Internet to find businesses that can help, users can now fill a single form and have those businesses come to them!
If someone is looking for a carpenter in Detroit, send that inquiry to all of the members that are located in Detroit that have checked off “carpenter” as one of their specialties.
