Adding CAPTCHA to Marketo Forms

Does anyone know how to add CAPTCHA to Marketo forms? I've ready numerous articles that I shouldn't need to do this, but the fact is, we are still getting spam leads through our Contact/Demo forms. I've implemented a few tactics suggested but it only helps a little. 

We currently have Marketo forms on our Drupal web pages but will be moving to a Wordpress site in the near future. Is there a firm that can integrate CAPTCHA with Marketo forms?

Carrie, I don't have a good CAPTCHA solution for you, but I'd urge you to reconsider adding one to your forms. They present another hurdle to someone filling out a form, resulting in fewer form fills, and that cost might outweigh the benefit of having spam fillouts removed.

Carrie,

I did a quick search and found some solutions

I don't know of a specific integration, but if you have a Captcha provider, I'm sure you can work with a javascript developer to add this to a Marketo form pretty easily. I would do this as Custom HTML in the LP or on your main website with the embed code or API.

Re: Adding CAPTCHA to Marketo Forms

I wouldn't add a Captcha - since there are so many ways that Marketo lets you filter spam leads out w/o having to increase the "difficulty" of your forms for your regular users.

I use a combination of exclusion lists (email domains, phone numbers like 12345, names like John Smith) and inferred country filters that exclude people that aren't in English speaking countries inside my territory.
