Google reCAPTCHA in Forms

Google reCAPTCHA is a security feature that helps prevent spam and bot signups on your forms. It works by verifying whether a signup comes from a real person or an automated bot.

You’ve probably seen it before as a checkbox like “I’m not a robot.”  ADD IMAGE HERE

Reasons to use reCAPTCHA

Promotions or giveaways

Increased site visitors mean more fraudulent signups. Use the reCAPTCHA option to prevent invalid emails. Instead, focus your attention and time on creating real connections.

Experiencing spam or suspicious signups

If you've dealt with high bounces in the past, using reCAPTCHA sets you on the right path. Ensuring only valid contacts enter their email address.

Protect your email sender's reputation

Spam signups often lead to higher bounce rates and spam complaints. By keeping your list clean from the start, reCAPTCHA helps protect your sender reputation and improves inbox placement.
