Call To Action

A call to action (CTA) is simply a way for a company to get their visitors to take an action. A CTA is typically written as a command or action phrase, such as 'Sign Up' or 'Buy Now' and generally takes the form of a button or hyperlink.

Why Call To Actions Are Important

The call to action is an essential element of a webpage that helps guide the user to the next steps in completing a task. Without this crucial step, users may not know what to do next or how to contact your company for more information.

A call to action should be clear and concise. It should tell the user exactly what to do and where to click next. In addition, more than one call to action on a page can be used if there are multiple desired actions for the user to take.

For example, if a visitor arrives on a blog post and there is no clear call to action at the bottom of the page, they may leave without performing any other tasks. However, if there is a call to action at the bottom of the page, for example "Read more posts," or "Click here to subscribe to our newsletter," that can encourage them to continue interacting with the site.


How To Use A/B Testing To Test CTAs

A call to action makes the process of selecting an action clear and helps remove friction in the buying process. For more than a century, call-to-action buttons have been used to make it easier for people to buy something. Specific calls to action are also effective at guiding people down a specific path on the sales funnel.

To test the effectiveness of different CTAs, you can use an A/B testing platform like Taplytics. This will give you data-backed information on which call to actions are most effective for your website.
