Common questions about CTAs
Back to the dictionary.
What is a CTA?
A CTA is a prompt that asks a visitor to take a specific next step.
What makes a good CTA?
A good CTA is specific, easy to understand, and relevant to the visitor’s intent and stage.
Should every page have a CTA?
Every page should make the next useful action clear, but that action may be reading a related page rather than making a purchase.
Where should I place a CTA?
Place it after the page has earned the action with a clear answer, useful evidence, or a relevant explanation. Repeat it only when it helps scanning.
Can I use more than one CTA?
Yes, but choose one primary action. Too many equal-looking choices can make the page harder to use.
Do you need a clearer next step on a page?
Send the page and tell us what you want visitors to do. We can help align the message, evidence, CTA, and measurement.
