Action labels name the outcome

Label actions with what happens next, not "Get started", "Submit" or "Learn more".

Why it matters

Specific labels let people predict the result before they commit, and they make sense to screen-reader users who list links and buttons out of context.

How to check it

Read each button and link out of context: it says what it does or where it goes.

The default it guards against

"Get started" on every pricing card, "Submit" on every form, and rows of "Learn more" links.
