There are 2 obstacles getting in the way of your visitors clicking your buttons: friction and anxiety. In this short presentation, see how both may be holding your CTR back - and what we've done to reduce friction and neutralize anxiety. (With data from A/B tests we ran in 2013 and 2014 on button copy.) Oh, and find out what the hell we mean by "lizards thru doorways"... and how that little phrase can make all the difference for your button click-thrus. By Joanna Wiebe of Copy Hackers (www.copyhackers.com).

QUESTION YOUR BUTTONS
▶ Does it look clickable… or disabled?▶ Is it prominent enough to easily notice? ▶ Is it large enough to easily acquire?▶ Is it competing with another button or call to action?▶ Does anything about it – like copy, design or
placement – suggest it’s not to be clicked?▶ Does a person have to actively think before clicking
it?

THE ANXIETY YOUR VISITORS FEEL
▶ What’s on the other side of this button?▶ Once I click it, what immediately happens? ▶ Should I look around first before I click it… just to make sure I’m
not missing something better for me?▶ Am I ready to go wherever this leads?▶ Once I click it, can I get back to this page easily, or am I trapped
in a new area of this website – or a different site?
Double that anxiety – and add some friction – when you add a second button into the mix.
