What is a link in bio? A complete guide

One page for every link you share. Here's what a link in bio is, why it matters, what to put on it, and how to build one that's private and search-ready.

What is a link in bio?

A link in bio is a single page that holds all your important links behind the one URL social platforms let you put in your profile. Instead of choosing between your website, shop or newsletter, you link to one page that offers all of them.

Why you need one

Instagram, TikTok and most networks allow just one clickable link. A link in bio lifts that limit: share one URL everywhere, send each visitor to the right place, and change what's featured without editing your profile on every platform.

What to put on your link in bio

  • Your website or latest work
  • Social profiles
  • Shop, booking or donation links
  • Newsletter or contact
  • A current promo, release or campaign at the top

Exactly what belongs there depends on who you are - see the guides by use case below.

How to create your link in bio

  1. Create a free account - just your e-mail, no invite needed.
  2. Pick a name for your page (your public URL).
  3. Add your links, group them into sections and reorder by drag-and-drop.
  4. Choose a theme, then publish.

Link in bio and SEO

A link in bio doesn't have to be an SEO dead end. When the page ships with clean meta tags, a canonical URL, JSON-LD structured data and a sitemap, it's fully indexable and can rank for your name - and be understood by AI assistants. That's built in on Melioo, and new pages are submitted to search engines instantly via IndexNow.
