CTA (Call to Action)

Quick Definition

A call to action is a button, link, or prompt that asks users to take a specific next step — book, buy, download, sign up.

In context

Strong CTAs are specific ('Book a Free Strategy Call' beats 'Submit'), visible (high contrast), and singular (one primary CTA per page beats competing CTAs). Test CTA copy and design — small changes often produce significant conversion impact.
