Best Practices for Link in Bio Pages

Profile Optimization

• Use a clear profile photo: Square images work best (at least 400x400px)
• Write a compelling bio: Keep it under 200 characters, focus on value
• Choose a memorable username: Short, simple, and easy to type
• Add social links: Help visitors connect with you on other platforms

Link Strategy

• Prioritize your top 3-5 links: Too many links can overwhelm visitors
• Use clear, action-oriented text: "Shop My Store" not "Click Here"
• Update regularly: Keep your most current content at the top
• Test your links: Click preview to ensure everything works
• Track performance: Use analytics to see which links get the most clicks

Design Tips

• Ensure readability: High contrast between text and background
• Match your brand: Use colors consistent with your brand identity
• Mobile-first: Most visitors will view on mobile, so test there
• Keep it simple: Clean designs convert better than cluttered ones
