What is a link in Bio?

Basically, a microsite filled up with links to the sites you want to share with your followers. This trend has been growing since 2013, as we can see in this Google Trend graphic. We had a recent example with the Black Lives Matter movement, and after Kim Kardashian shared a Carrd webpage that linked resources for supporters.

Why has the link in Bio trend been growing?

The link in Bio was created in response to restrictions imposed by major social media platforms that prevent users from including clickable links in their posts and only allow users to have one link in their profiles. The explanation for this is simple: social media platforms do not want you to quit since they compete for your attention and, as a result, they lose ad income if users leave the site.

This led companies to change their URL all the time, which was a bit of a nuisance if you have many links to share. Considering this, others have devised a solution to this problem by allowing you to compile a list of connections to various websites on a single, unified link page. Link in bio was born.

Link in Bio tools provide all companies the flexibility to guide their audiences in better ways, whether you are a social media manager for a fashion brand, a freelancer, or a small company owner.

Why is it important to have a good Bio link?

Your Bio helps you build a connection right from the start. Therefore a good Bio link helps the business to deliver more information and value than your Bio ever could to those who visit your profile.
