Introduction
Creating a precise lead order is crucial to the success of your marketing campaigns. With Leadnodes, you can control exactly which leads are delivered to which buyers. This not only optimizes distribution but also ensures that budget specifications and regional requirements are strictly adhered to.
This tutorial guides you through the Google Chrome user interface and shows you step-by-step how to configure all necessary parameters—from the initial note to the final area definition—to ensure a smooth workflow during lead processing[cite: 8].
Defining Basic Order Parameters
The first step in creating a new lead order is to establish the basic information that identifies the buyer and the type of leads.
Order Notes: Enter an internal note or description for the order in the Order Notes field to make it easier to identify later.
Assign Buyer : Select the corresponding buyer from the Select User dropdown menu (e.g., "268. Frank Siebert / Firma Test Käufer").
Select Category : In the Select Lead Category field, determine the sector from which the leads should originate (e.g., "943. PV - Photovoltaic").
[cite_start]Once the identity of the order is established, define the financial framework and the delivery schedule:
Lead Price: Enter the desired price per lead. If necessary, you can also activate the option Ignore Supplier Commission.
Delivery Interval: Select how often leads should be delivered from the Delivery Interval dropdown menu, for example, "weekly".
Details and Scheduling
As soon as the basic data is set, you configure the capacities and the time frame for the lead delivery. This ensures that the buyer is neither overwhelmed nor undersupplied[cite: 33].
Lead Quantity and Limits: Enter the desired number of leads in the *Lead Quantity field. You can use the Daily Maximum Limit toggle to set a limit per day to ensure an even distribution.
Complaint Compensation: Activate Compensate Complained Leads if a replacement lead should automatically be delivered for every justified complaint.
Priority: Assign a priority (e.g., 100). A higher number means preferential treatment over other orders with lower priority.
Delivery Time Window: Define exact "From" and "To" times under Delivery Time during which leads are allowed to be transferred.
Order Period: Use the calendar for the start date and optionally the end date to narrow down the validity period of the order.
Delivery Days: Use the checkboxes to select the specific days of the week on which deliveries should occur.
Tipp: Deactivate Real-Time Delivery if you want to define manual time windows for the transfer.
Configuring and Saving Delivery Areas
The crucial part of the order is the geographic restriction. LeadNodes offers flexible options here to cover precisely the regions that are relevant to the buyer
Federal States:** Select "Federal States" from the *Delivery Areas* (*Liefergebiete*) dropdown, search for the desired state (e.g., Bavaria), and click *Add* (*Hinzufügen*)[cite: 79, 80].
* [cite_start]**Postal Code Areas (*Postleitzahlbereiche*):** Alternatively, you can define exact ranges (e.g., 60000 to 69999) via "Postal Code Areas"[cite: 81].
* [cite_start]**Radius Search (*Umkreissuche*):** With the "Custom Postal Codes" (*Benutzerdefinierte Postleitzahlen*) option, you can enter a zip code and set a radius (in km)[cite: 82]. [cite_start]Click *Search* (*Suchen*), select the locations in the overlay, and confirm with *Add All Locations* (*Alle Standorte hinzufügen*)[cite: 83].

### [cite_start]Reviewing Configured Areas and Completing the Order [cite: 87]
[cite_start]All added areas are displayed as tags at the end of the form[cite: 88]. [cite_start]You can remove individual areas by clicking the "X" or add further ones[cite: 89].
[cite_start]To finally create and activate the lead order, click the blue **Save** (*Speichern*) button at the very bottom left[cite: 90]. [cite_start]A success message will confirm the process in the top right of the screen[cite: 91].
> [cite_start]**Note:** Ensure that the selected areas do not overlap with other active orders from the same buyer, unless this is explicitly desired[cite: 92].

### [cite_start]Conclusion [cite: 93]
[cite_start]Through structured configuration in LeadNodes, you ensure that every lead order is tailored exactly to the needs of your buyers[cite: 94]. [cite_start]The combination of quantity limits, time control, and precise geographic restriction gives you full control over your lead flow[cite: 95].
[cite_start]You can now map complex delivery rules that take into account both regional specificities and individual budget requirements[cite: 96, 97]. [cite_start]This leads to greater efficiency in lead distribution and increases the long-term satisfaction of your buyers[cite: 97]. [cite_start]After saving, you can view, edit, or check the current delivery status of the order in the dashboard at any time[cite: 98].

### [cite_start]FAQ [cite: 99]
* [cite_start]**What happens if I do not set a daily maximum limit?** [cite: 100]
[cite_start]Without a daily maximum limit, the system delivers the leads as quickly as possible until the set total quantity is reached[cite: 101]. [cite_start]This can result in all leads being transferred within a very short period of time[cite: 102].
* [cite_start]**Can different area formats be combined?** [cite: 103]
[cite_start]Yes, you can add an entire federal state and additionally a specific postal code radius in another region within the same order[cite: 104]. [cite_start]All configured areas are treated additively[cite: 105].
* [cite_start]**How does priority affect things when there are multiple buyers?** [cite: 105]
[cite_start]If multiple buyers bid on the same lead segment (category and area), the buyer with the higher priority receives the lead first[cite: 106]. [cite_start]If multiple orders have the same priority, distribution takes place according to the rotation principle[cite: 106, 107].
