About the Call to Action button

Last updated: February 2025

On TikTok Ads Manager, a CTA is part of the ad that urges someone to take action after watching the ad. On TikTok, the Call to Action (CTA) button is built from two parts: the CTA Content, and the CTA Background color.

  • The CTA Content is the text and hyperlink

  • The CTA Background Color highlights the button

Note: This information only applies to the display of Call to Action (CTA) button on the TikTok app.

Features

A CTA will only appear in ads that drive traffic to a landing page or app download page. A CTA will not appear in a Reach or Video Views campaign unless a URL is added to the ad's creative.

On TikTok, the CTA content will appear first and then the CTA background color will appear later. By staggering the two, it helps people focus their attention on your content and makes your ads appear native to TikTok.
