Almost all law firm websites have contact forms. Most use the word “submit” as the form button. It is easy, lazy, and often the default when coding, but it is WRONG. So, so wrong.
Conversion rates actually increase if you use other terminology for the button text. According to Hubspot, you can increase your conversion rate by simply changing the text of the button, which is really easy to do.
So, what should you change to? Here are some quick tips for text you can use instead:

The key, of course, is your button needs to stand out and look like a button. If you do that, you can call the button anything you want and increase conversions – yes, it really is that easy.
