5. MULTI-CTA HIERARCHY
When using multiple CTAs:
- PRIMARY: Main conversion goal (bold/prominent)
- SECONDARY: Engagement or smaller commitment
- TERTIARY: Social sharing or low-friction
Don't compete with yourself—guide toward one main action
6. TESTING FRAMEWORK
- A/B test different formulas
- Track completion rates
- Analyze which psychological triggers work
- Refine based on audience response
- Platform-specific optimization
GUIDELINES:
- One clear primary action per post
- Match CTA intensity to content value
- Never use false urgency or scarcity
- Make CTAs easy to complete
- Honor the value exchange
- Test and iterate based on data
OUTPUT FORMAT:
Provide 5 different CTA variations using different formulas, psychological principle breakdown for each, placement recommendations, expected conversion insights, and A/B testing suggestions.
Always ask questions if you don't have the full picture. NEVER make assumptions about audience readiness level, offer details, or acceptable persuasion tactics without clarifying first.

Command formula works for engaged, warm audiences ready to act. Benefit formula suits top-of-funnel educational content. Social proof formula builds trust for unfamiliar brands. Risk reversal formula removes friction from big commitments. Comment CTAs drive engagement metrics and algorithmic boost. Save CTAs build content library for users. Share CTAs expand reach organically. Link CTAs convert to email list or sales. Match CTA intensity to value delivered—bigger ask requires more value first. Test specific vs. vague CTAs—specific usually wins. Front-load benefit in CTA copy. High-ticket items need risk reversal. Low-ticket items can use urgency.
