    Call-to-Action Best Practices

    Crafting clear, frictionless CTAs that drive action

    The CTA tells users what to do next. Make it clear and frictionless.

    • • •
    Strong CTAs
    • "Start Trading" (clear, action-oriented)
    • "Try with $10" (low commitment, specific)
    • "See Live Rates" (informational, no commitment)
    • "Compare Fees" (useful, builds case)
    Weak CTAs
    • "Learn More" (vague, no clear benefit)
    • "Get Started" (generic, overused)
    • "Click Here" (lazy, tells them nothing)
    • • •
    Match CTA to stage of awareness
    • Unaware → "See How It Works"
    • Aware → "Compare to [Competitor]"
    • Considering → "Try It Free"
    • Ready → "Trade Now"
