CTA Engine: Every Scan Deserves an Action.

Add calls-to-action to your QR landing pages: WhatsApp chat, phone call, SMS, Google Maps, App Store download, and social follow buttons.

Turn Passive Scans Into Active Conversions

Scanning a QR code is an act of intent. SMLLR's CTA Engine ensures every scan ends in a meaningful action. Add conversion-optimized CTA buttons to your landing pages and destination experiences: one-tap WhatsApp start, direct phone call, SMS trigger, Google Maps navigation, App Store download, email compose, or social media follow. Each CTA is designed for mobile-first interaction — thumb-friendly, above-the-fold, and instantly recognizable.

  • WhatsApp: open a pre-filled chat with one tap
  • Call: direct phone call with your number pre-loaded
  • SMS: compose a pre-filled text message
  • Google Maps: navigate to your location
  • App Store / Play Store: smart device-detecting app download
  • Email: compose a pre-addressed email
  • Website: link to any URL
  • Social Follow: Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and more

Multiple CTAs on One Landing Page

Not every customer wants to take the same action. SMLLR landing pages support multiple CTA buttons on a single page — giving your customer choice while guiding their behaviour. A restaurant landing page might have "View Full Menu" as the primary CTA, with secondary buttons for "Book via WhatsApp" and "Call to Order." This flexible CTA structure ensures no conversion opportunity is missed regardless of the customer's preferred communication channel.

Track Which CTAs Drive the Most Conversions

SMLLR tracks click-through rates for every CTA button on your landing pages. See which CTA type gets the most taps — WhatsApp vs Call vs Form — and use this data to optimize your page hierarchy. For businesses testing multiple communication channels, this data tells you definitively which channel your offline customer base prefers. Use this insight to prioritize your team's resource allocation and response time investments.

Choosing a Primary CTA That Matches the Moment

The right primary CTA depends heavily on what someone was doing right before they scanned. A code on a restaurant table probably deserves "View Menu" as the lead action, not a call button. A code on a service van probably deserves "Call Now" front and center. Matching the primary CTA to the physical context the scan happens in, rather than defaulting to the same button everywhere, tends to matter more for conversion than any individual button's design.

CTAs Outside of Landing Pages

A CTA button doesn't require a full landing page in between — a QR code can be configured to trigger a single CTA action directly on scan, skipping the intermediate page entirely. This is the fastest possible path from scan to action, useful when there's genuinely only one thing you want the scan to lead to, like a direct WhatsApp chat or a phone call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a WhatsApp button to my QR landing page?

Yes. SMLLR's CTA Engine includes a WhatsApp CTA button. Enter your WhatsApp number and optional pre-filled message. When a customer taps the button on your landing page, WhatsApp opens with your number pre-loaded.

Can I add multiple CTA buttons on one page?

Yes. SMLLR landing pages support multiple CTA buttons. You can add a primary CTA (e.g., WhatsApp) and secondary CTAs (e.g., Call, Maps, Website) on the same page.

Can I track how many people tapped each CTA button?

Yes. SMLLR tracks click events for CTA buttons on your landing pages. View per-button click counts and click-through rates in your analytics dashboard.

Can I change which CTA is primary after the page is live?

Yes. Reorder or swap the primary CTA at any time from the page editor without needing to reprint the QR code linked to it.

Does the CTA Engine work without a full landing page?

Yes. A QR code can route directly to a single CTA action (like a WhatsApp chat) without a landing page in between, for the simplest possible scan-to-action flow.

Can different CTA buttons go to different team members?

Yes. For example, a Call button and a WhatsApp button can be configured with different phone numbers, so each channel reaches the right person or department.

Can I customize the text and icon on a CTA button?

Yes. Button labels, icons, and colors can be customized per CTA to match your brand and the specific action you want the visitor to take.

Are CTA clicks counted separately from the initial QR scan?

Yes. The initial scan and any subsequent CTA button click are tracked as distinct events, so you can see the full path from scan to specific action.

Can I set a fallback CTA if a customer's device doesn't support one option?

Yes. You can configure a fallback action, such as showing a phone number if WhatsApp isn't available on the scanning device.
