A CTA is an imperative statement used to urge the visitors to take a specific action. It can either be a clickable button, link, or text that will bring visitors to a landing or sales page. A good call to action is clear and direct and doesn’t confuse the leads or prospects. Some common CTAs are “Submit,” “Buy Now,” and “Sign Up.”
