call to action (CTA), explained for tree service owners
People often like your page but do not know what to do next. A call to action solves that. Use clear action words and make the button easy to see and tap on a phone. For a tree service, good examples are Call for a free estimate, Text us a photo of your tree or Book a visit online. Put one at the top of the page, one in the middle and one at the end. Do not offer five different choices at once, because that slows decisions. If you cannot answer the phone every time, make sure a text-back or booking form catches the lead.
