Mobile searchers by definition have a phone in their hand and the stats show that it’s likely that they are searching for contact details, so businesses should consider including a large CTA that simply says ‘Call now’.

I’ve previously blogged several criteria for designing an effective mobile CTA, but essentially it should be big, colourful and unambiguous. With this in mind, here are five good vs. five bad examples of click-to-call CTAs. 

However, I’d also like to point out that even those businesses I’ve flagged up as bad examples should be applauded for having click-to-call buttons in the first place…

Good vs. Bad

Half Moon Brewing Bay Co. vs. Burger and Lobster

                      

Hix Chop House vs. Little Bay Battersea

                      

John Lewis vs. B&Q

                      

Stroke of Beauty vs. Claridges

                      

Direct Line vs. Tesco
