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:

Meta-compliant landing pages or form alternatives
How to fully disable CAPTCHA or smooth out submission issues
Better wording or funnel structure to avoid ad rejections
Other ways to split-test form setups or redirects using free tools

…I’d really appreciate your insight.

I know a lot of you here are running optimized funnels with full tech stacks, but if you’ve been in the scrappy phase or have tricks to make this work on barebones setups, I’d love to hear what’s working for you.

Thanks in advance! 🙏
