Wix Free website and Free Form Submit Issues
🚨 Bootstrapping Lead Gen – Running into Form + Meta Ad Hurdles 🚨 Hey everyone – I’m currently building and testing Meta lead gen systems from the ground up, working with a tight budget and trying to keep infrastructure costs low while I learn and iterate. I help roofing contractors with insurance supplementing (mainly storm-related roof claims), but I quickly found out that using words like “insurance”, “claim”, or anything finance-related triggered Meta policy violations, even in compliant ads. So I’ve shifted all my wording to phrases like “storm damage,” “wind,” or “hail”, and removed any direct mention of claims. I had to rework headlines, forms, and captions to stay within ad policy — and it’s helped me stay live. Also, running lead campaigns directly on Meta was just too expensive in my case, so I switched to traffic campaigns using FormSubmit forms embedded in a free Wix site I built myself. That’s when I ran into more challenges: - CAPTCHA and “are you a robot?” checks are driving drop-offs - FormSubmit sometimes doesn’t process or fails - Free Wix limits JS/HTML access, so even honeypot and CAPTCHA overrides are flaky I’ve been using ChatGPT, Claude, and Replit to hand-code my form logic and embed it into Wix. I asked ChatGPT for alternate submission tools and was given a few options like: ✅ Netlify Forms – works with static HTML, email triggers ✅ Formspree – free plan with limited monthly submissions ✅ Basin, FormKeep, Getform – more advanced workflows (some need Zapier) ✅ Tally.so / Typeform – but harder to brand or embed on free Wix ✅ Google Forms – reliable but lacks the custom look I want Right now, I’m just trying to find reliable, low-cost form submission solutions since I already have the paid versions of ChatGPT, Claude and Replit: - Work with free hosting setups like Wix - Don’t trigger Meta’s automated rejection system - Let me collect emails/phones and send to my inbox without a paid backend If anyone has suggestions on:
