Show a Pop-up When a Page Loads

A timed pop-up appears shortly after a visitor lands on the page, without needing a click or scroll. It suits offers, announcements and lead capture.

Set it up

1. Go to Sites and open a funnel or website, then the step or page you want.
2. Click Edit to open the builder.
3. Click the Popup Settings icon in the top bar.
4. Design the pop-up content, for example a form and a headline.
5. In the settings panel, scroll to Show Popup on and choose Delay.
6. Drag the slider to the number of seconds after the page loads.
7. Save or Publish.

Behavior to know

• The pop-up shows each time the page loads. It does not remember that a visitor already saw it.
• If the pop-up is opened manually, for example by a button, before the timer ends, the automatic one is cancelled so it never appears twice.
• It works the same in funnels and websites.
• For a pop-up that appears as the visitor tries to leave, choose Exit instead. See the exit pop-up article.

Tips

Wait a few seconds so visitors can read the page first. A pop-up that fires immediately feels intrusive and raises bounce rates. Make the close button obvious.

Good to know: Test with a fresh browser window so you see exactly what a first-time visitor sees.
