Five reasons to use your link in bio as a digital business card

If you are looking for one address to call your own and hand out everywhere, you do not necessarily need a website. A link in bio page does the job of a business card, and unlike a card it can be corrected at four in the afternoon.

1. One address instead of five

Instagram, WhatsApp, the catalogue, the map, the booking form: five things you cannot fit into a profile bio and cannot read out loud over the phone. One short address covers all of them, and it is the only thing you have to remember when somebody asks where to find you.

2. It changes when your business changes

Printed cards go out of date the day you move, change a number or run a promotion. A page is edited in a minute, and everybody who already saved the address sees the new version — including the people who saved it two years ago.

3. It looks like you

Colours, a background, your logo, the shape of the buttons: the page is the first impression a lot of people get of your business, and a page that matches your brand carries that impression much further than a default list of blue links.

4. It tells you what people are looking for

A business card tells you nothing after you hand it over. A page tells you how many people opened it and which buttons they used — which is often surprising, and almost always useful. Sometimes the menu gets three times more clicks than the shop; sometimes the “how to get here” link is the busiest thing you have.

5. It works on paper too

Turn the address into a QR code and the same page goes on a receipt, a window, a package or a flyer. The person points the camera and lands exactly where you want them, without typing anything. That is the part a business card never managed.
