What is a CTA?
So what is a call to action? It’s a phrase that’s used to tell the user exactly what action to take and how to take it. This can be as simple as two words (“Buy Now”) or a sentence or two (“Love learning about marketing and want to learn more? Subscribe now so you never a post!”), and it can be simple text with a hyperlink or a clickable button.

A CTA is the part of an advertisement, a story, and/or webpage that encourages and instructs the audience to do something, and take action. As a business owner, a CTA is something you need to have on your website.

Why Do You Need A Call-To-Action?
There are different reasons you should have a CTA. Some of these include:
- Help Visitors Take The Next Step
- More Engagement
- Boost Conversion Rate & Sales
Without a CTA, site visitors are likely to leave your site, as they are not likely to know what next steps to take. With CTAs however, they are prompted to take the next step, which may be filling out a contact form or picking up the phone to make a call. CTAs, if present, encourage continuous interactions with the website. These CTAs could include “read more”, “learn more”, “click here to download our pricing list”, etc. While having visitors to your business website is good for and desirable by all business owners, you must harness this flow of visitors and actually make them convert into a purchase. Depending on your business’s offerings, CTAs like “buy now” will help convert visitors to clients. Also, CTAs like “subscribe to our newsletter” will help convert visitors to leads, which could eventually become clients.
