Call To Action might be too narrow as definition #35

Or in other words: the content that's being added in the CTA component doesn't necessarily need to be a CTA. It can also be a reusable chunk of content with a different purpuse.

So maybe the CTA component should be renamed to something like "Reusable content". We can also just rephrase the definition of CTA to "Call To Attention" to make it broader without having to make any technical changes.

Keep an eye on SEO rankings though when reusing content a lot. From neilpatel.com:

High percentage of boilerplate content – Boilerplate content refers to the content that you reuse on your site. For instance, a particular paragraph in a useful article might be reused in a few places on your site. One or two such paragraphs probably won’t do much harm, but if the overall percentage of boilerplate content gets too high, your site could fall in the rankings.

As a general rule, avoid using the same or very similar content in more than one page on your site. Focus on unique content – that’s the best way to improve your rankings.
