Type the word or phrase that you want displayed.

Note: This is the default text. If you do not have information on the lead that is visiting the page, then this default text will be shown instead.

The selected variable will be placed where your mouse currently is.

Default Text and Variables

Consider the following: When using there as the default text and First Name as the merge variable, for any tracked lead that has a known first name, their first name will show. For any visitor that is not tracked or does not have a stored first name, then there will show instead.

If a tracked lead has First Name stored, then the firstName merge variable will display their name.		Click to enlarge.

If a visitor to your landing page does not have a First Name stored, then the default text will show instead.		Click to enlarge.
