How you can create and edit Call-to-Action (CTA) in HubSpot

A call-to-action (CTA) is a button that you can use on your website to guide the visitors towards the goal conversion. A CTA is the part of the landing page that prompts a user to take the action that you want to take them. Pages with a strong CTA button will generate more conversions than the pages with a weak one. CTAs should be visually attractive and easily visible to the visitors on your pages and emails.
