Analyze your calls-to-action (CTAs) performance

After creating CTAs and adding them to your HubSpot content, you can analyze your CTAs' performance.

You can either analyze the aggregate performance for all your CTAs or each individual CTA. Then, identify which CTAs are receiving the most views and clicks.
