Why are Calls to Action so important?
When visiting your site (or searching for anything online for that matter) the visitor is looking for an answer to a question. Your job is to give them that answer and lead them to your product or service as the solution.
A call to action makes it easy for a visitor to take the next step or engage with your product, service, or brand without hesitation.
