9 tips for a link in bio page people actually click
Author: marko · · 5 min read
Most bio pages are a list of ten identical buttons. Visitors skim them in two seconds and leave. Here are nine small things that turn your page into a place people actually click.
1. Your most important link goes on top
People mostly tap the first two buttons. Put what you want right now on top — a new video, your shop, bookings. The rest can sit lower.
2. Less is more
Five good links beat fifteen. Hide what nobody uses — one tap in the editor, no need to delete it.
3. Button text as a call to action
“YouTube” says where it goes. “New video: Japan vlog” says why to tap. Write what the visitor will find.
4. A photo on your main link
A link with a photo looks like a card and draws the eye. Use it for one or two things at most so they stand out.
5. Emoji and icons
An emoji or a symbol helps people scan — 🎧 podcast, 🛍️ shop, 📅 bookings. The emoji library is right in the editor.
6. Show, don’t just link
A photo gallery, an embedded YouTube video or a Spotify player keep visitors longer than a bare link. A photographer, a hairdresser or a band can show their work right on the page.
7. Make it look like you
Colours, background, font and button style that match your brand. A page that looks like your Instagram feels more trustworthy than a template everyone uses.
8. A 🔥 label on your most-clicked link
Linkee marks the link people tap most by itself. New visitors instantly see what others care about. You can also add the label by hand to whatever you are selling right now.
9. Check your analytics
Analytics shows how many people saw your page, what they tap and where they came from. Once a week, check what is not working and reorder. Small changes make big differences.
A bio page is not a business card you make once. It is a shop window — and a shop window is worth rearranging now and then.
