Custom Button

  1. Type in text that you want displayed on your CTA. You can use different fonts, colours and sizes.

  2. You can manually resize your CTA by using the dimensions boxes
  3. Fill in the Alt Text of your image. This is simply the description of it. E.g.(Free eBook download)
  4. Click “Next”
  5. Name your CTA (this is only internally)

  7. Link it to an overall campaign (optional)

How to create CTAs that convert and how to track the conversions

When creating your CTAs try and make them simple, direct, and eye catching. Dark colours with bright contrasts historically have better conversion rates, and wording that is clear and to the point, such as “Download Now” or “RSVP Today”, typically have higher clicks.

 

To track who has clicked on your CTA:

  1. Click on “Marketing”, “Lead Capture”, “CTAs”
  2. Search the name of your CTA in the top right
  3. Your CTA should now display in the table below and you can easily see the Click Rate and Clicks.
