Your website can look great and rank well on Google but if it doesn’t tell visitors what to do next, you’re leaving potential clients on the table. That’s where calls to action (CTAs) come in. The right CTA guides your visitors, builds trust, and helps turn clicks into consultations.
Let’s talk about how to craft calls to action for your law firm’s website that actually work.
What Makes a Good Call to Action?
A great CTA is clear, simple, and tells your visitor exactly what to do. But it should also feel natural and helpful, not salesy or aggressive.
Keep It Simple and Direct
The best CTAs don’t over complicate things. Use short, action-oriented phrases that make it easy for visitors to take the next step.
- Schedule a Free Consultation
- Get in Touch
- Call Us Today
- Request a Case Review
Focus on What They Get
Your CTA should answer the visitor’s unspoken question: “What’s in it for me?”
- Instead of just “Contact Us,” try “Contact Us for a Free Case Evaluation.”
- Instead of “Learn More,” use “Find Out How We Can Help.”
Place CTAs Throughout Your Website
One CTA on your contact page isn’t enough. Include CTAs on:
- Your homepage
- Practice area pages
- Attorney bios
- Blog posts (soft CTAs like “Want more tips? Contact us for a consultation.”)
- The footer of every page
Make Them Stand Out
Your CTAs should be visually distinct. Use buttons or bold text so they’re easy to spot but keep your design clean and on-brand.
Avoid Overloading the Page
Too many CTAs can overwhelm visitors. Focus on one clear next step per page so your visitors don’t have to guess what to do.
Test and Refine
Not sure which CTAs work best? Test different phrases or button placements. Sometimes small changes can make a big difference in conversion rates.
