Right? Not always. There are a few reasons why gated content doesn't always work out. Sometimes the content we create isn't valuable enough to catch the best leads. Other times, the best leads don't fill out your form. So what can you do to make the most out of gated content? First, make sure the content you gate is valuable to your users. It should address a very specific problem and provide a viable solution. You can't throw a random blog post behind a gate and expect to get high-quality leads. Second, make sure leads are well qualified before you offer them gated content.
