Short answer
Gated content is valuable content, such as reports, ebooks or webinars, that visitors can access only after submitting contact details through a form. It is a common B2B lead generation tactic, trading information for qualified leads. The trade-off is reduced reach, since gated assets get fewer readers and are generally not indexed by search engines.
