What it is

A lead-generation model where third-party publishers or networks distribute (syndicate) your gated content (white papers, ebooks, webinars) to their audiences and deliver leads for a fixed cost per qualified lead.


You pay only for leads that meet pre-agreed qualification criteria (job title, industry, company size, location, etc.).

How it works

High-Level Process

  1. Define target audience and lead qualification criteria.
  2. Choose content assets and syndication partners/networks.
  3. Set CPL price, volume goals, and campaign timeline.
  4. Publisher promotes the asset; prospects fill a form or are routed to a landing page.
  5. Leads are delivered to you (or via CRM) for validation, nurturing, or immediate follow-up.
  6. Ongoing optimization (creative, audience targeting, offer, CPL adjustments).
