Calls to action
Convert more readers into customers with tailored CTAs in your content
Byword’s CTA feature automatically generates compelling calls to action at the end of your articles, encouraging readers to engage with your product or service.
Well-crafted CTAs can significantly increase conversion rates by providing clear next steps for readers who are already engaged with your content.
How Byword CTAs work
Byword generates unique, contextually relevant CTAs based on information you provide about your brand. These CTAs are placed at the end of your articles, creating a natural transition from educational content to conversion opportunity.
Setting up your CTA
To create your first CTA:
- Navigate to the CTA section in your Byword dashboard
- Find the CTA creation form at the bottom of the page
- Fill in the required information about your brand and offering
- Click “Create CTA” to save your configuration

Description
Description
Provide detailed context about your offering to help Byword create effective CTAs. Consider including:
- What your product/service does
- Who it’s designed for
- Key benefits or unique selling points
- Pricing information (if relevant)
- Special offers or guarantees
- Social proof elements
Managing your CTAs
After creating a CTA, it will appear in your CTA list and be automatically enabled. You can:
- Enable/disable CTAs: Only one CTA can be active at a time
- Edit CTAs: Update any field to refine your messaging
- Delete CTAs: Remove CTAs you no longer need
- Create multiple CTAs: Build a library of different CTAs for various purposes
If all CTAs are disabled, your articles will be generated without a call to action section.
Switching CTAs for different content
You can change which CTA is used directly from any article generation page, allowing you to tailor your conversion strategy to specific content themes or audience segments.
Best practices for effective CTAs
- Be specific: Clearly state what users will get by taking action
- Create urgency: Consider including time-limited offers or emphasizing immediate benefits
- Match your tone: Ensure your CTA description aligns with your brand voice
- Test different approaches: Create multiple CTAs and compare their effectiveness
- Update regularly: Refresh your CTAs to reflect your current offerings and promotions
