CTA
CTAs tie each step in the conversion funnel together and make it possible to move from one step on to the next.
Your CTAs consist of two overall elements:
• Design (color, shape, size)
• Copy (the text in the button)
In order to optimize for maximum conversions, you need to also understand the interrelationship between these two elements and the roles they play in the conversion sequence.

Optimization Principles
21
Optimization Principles: Button Design
• CTA design is a visual cue “I’m a button – you can click me!”
• Your button should stand out from the rest of the content/layout
• Your instruments are first and foremost color, size, and shape

Optimization Principles: CTA Copy
• In the last critical moment, CTA copy is what makes prospects click
• The more value and relevance the copy conveys, the more clicks it will get
• Focus on what the prospect gets by clicking the CTA – rather than what she has to part with

5 steps for testing your calls-to-action:
1. Diagnose your call-to-action – create a hypothesis about what is wrong 1. Use the optimization principles to come up with possible treatments 1. Assess whether copy changes, design changes or both will have the greatest impact 1. I recommend a simple A/B split test 1. The click itself is an important conversion goal – but remember to track the final
conversion goal. Sometimes CTR goes up but e.g. sign-ups go down and vice versa
