Call to Action

Also called CTA

A call to action: the prompt telling a visitor exactly what to do next, sign up, start free, book a demo, usually a button or link. The hinge of any conversion.

Why it matters

A clear, single, compelling CTA can lift conversion sharply; a vague or crowded one buries it. Getting the CTA right, what it says and where it sits, is basic but consistently underrated.

For example

A landing page swaps a vague 'Learn more' button for 'Start free in 30 seconds', and signups jump.
