You add CTAs to your [website pages](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/what-your-website-needs-effective-calls-to-action). You include multiple types of CTAs in your [business blog posts](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/5-steps-to-picking-blog-ctas-that-generate-leads). Do you have one on your Facebook page? While you can use CTAs in many different ways on your website, blog and emails, there are limits to Facebook’s official “call-to-action” button, which can be featured in the lower right corner of the cover photo on a [Facebook business page](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/10-tips-for-your-business-facebook-page). A few of the options that are available for the text that will appear on your CTA button: - Book Now - Contact Us - Use App - Play Game - Shop Now - Sign Up - Watch Video Online retailers will likely want “shop now,” while others may want to educate visitors with “watch video” or encourage blog subscriptions with “sign up.” You can add a call-to-action button right from your Facebook account’s home page — if you don’t already have one, there will be a large button in the lower right corner of your cover image that says, simply, “Add a Button.” Then choose from a list of drop down menus to complete the action, which may include creating a form or simply linking to a specific page on your business website. This is a quick and easy step to add to the end of the illustrated instructions included in [How To Create a Business Facebook Page](https://www.jonespr.net/lp-create-facebook-page-instructions) in order to increase engage and use your social media marketing efforts to directly connect customers to your business. ## 6 Steps To Creating Enviable Brands Download our guide 6 Steps to Creating Enviable Brands to learn the crucial steps you should follow to create an enviable brand for your company.
