The first step in the registration category is the registration page. You’ll automatically end up here after creating the webinar.
Edit registration page
To edit the registrationpage of a webinar, you can follow the steps:
Click on your webinar.
Click on 'Edit webinar'.
Click on 'Registration' > 'Registration page'.
Click on the blue button labeled 'Edit registration page' to go to the page editor.
This is an important step: on the registration page, people will decide if they’d like to register for your webinar or not.
You can redesign the registration page for your corporate identity. Create a catchy title, provide an accurate description, add a biography for the host including a photo and location, and wow your audience with an introductory video.

Disable registration page
The option to disable registrations through the registration page is specifically for organizers who have collected registrations themselves and don't want anyone to be able to register themselves.
To do this, follow the steps:
Click on your webinar.
Click on 'Edit webinar'.
Click on 'Registration' > 'Registration page'.
Click the switch next to 'Allow registrations via registration page' to allow or disable registrations through the registration page.
Please note! This template is used for, for example, the unsubscribe page, notifications to viewers, payment pages, and other informative pages of your webinar. The only thing you should change about the page is removing the option to register via the page.
On the right side, you will see a preview of what the registration page looks like. If it's on, you will see the requested registration fields here. If it's turned off, you will see the page without registration options. Note that you can still use it as a landing page for your webinar in order to share extra information.
Viewers can still be registered through the other registration options such as the embed form or uploading a CSV file.
Edit link to the registration page
The system auto-generates a link for the registration page based on the title of the webinar. This link can be changed manually. To do this, follow the steps:
Click on your webinar.
Click on 'Edit webinar'.
Click on 'Registration' > 'Registration page'.
Click on the pencil icon next to the link and click 'OK'.
Edit the URL and click on 'Save'.
You’re able to change the part of the URL after https:// subdomain.webinargeek.com/[...].
Please note! The old link will no longer work after the change.
The link to the registration page will only be active after you publish the webinar.
Custom registration links
When you start promoting your webinar in different locations, you might like to know who registered through which promotional channel. By using custom registration links you can start measuring where the registrations are coming from. To create a custom registration link, follow the steps:
Click on your webinar.
Click on 'Edit webinar'.
Click on 'Registration' > 'Registration page'.
Create a custom registration link by clicking 'Add custom link'.
Enter a unique link name, e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn or summer-campaign and press 'Generate'.
Click on 'Add custom link' to generate another link.
It is now possible to copy the new registration link and promote it using the appropriate channels.
In the webinar 'Statistics' you can check who registered using which link for each individual registration. The .CSV file you can export will have an added column titled 'Custom registration link'.
It's also possible to use custom registration links for an embed form. You can read more about how that works on this page.
Conversion tracking is also possible with the direct integrations we offer for tracking or by using Zapier to connect your favorite software with WebinarGeek.

Metadata Settings
Optimizing your registration page typically starts with choosing the right meta title and meta description. With the Metadata settings, you can set how your page is displayed in the search results.
Click on your webinar > 'Edit webinar' > 'Registration' > 'Registration page'.
We automatically set the meta title, and meta description based on your webinar title and webinar description shown in the webinar editor's ‘General’ page. For the image, we typically use the image on the bottom left of your registration page.
To change your Metadata settings or disable indexing, follow the steps:
Click on your webinar.
Click on 'Edit webinar'.
Click on 'Registration' > 'Registration page'.
Click on 'Adjust Metadata settings'.
Adjust the desired settings.
Use between 30 and 60 characters for the 'Title meta tag' for an optimal result. For the 'Description meta tag', use between 70 and 155 characters for optimal results.
The ideal image size is 1200 X 1200 pixels. Each platform reduces and crops the image to a different size. When using a square image, the quality loss is at its lowest.
Disable indexing
As soon as the registration page is published to the internet (such as on Facebook or your website) it can be indexed by search engines like Google. You can turn this off at any time, which makes it so that your registration page will not appear in the search engines. To achieve this, check the box at the bottom.
Social media platforms (Facebook / Linkedin) use old photos/text
Facebook and other social platforms 'remember' the data shared with the links. If you share the same link later on, Facebook and Linkedin will load the information that it previously saved for that link.
You can 'tell' Facebook that your link contains new information by entering the link you want to share here. Enter the link, click on 'Debug' and then click on 'Scrape again' in the overview with information. Facebook will then reload and save the information associated with that link, such as the image. From that moment on, you can share the link on Facebook again and it will contain the updated image.
For Linkedin, use the Post Inspector and click on inspect.
