Why you should ditch Linktree

Ever been frustrated that Instagram doesn’t let you add clickable links to your posts? Yep, it’s a pain. And when you want to check out a link from someone’s bio, you’re probably sent to a page on Linktree.

But here’s the thing…

Isn’t the whole point of social media to drive traffic to your website? So why send people to a third-party tool instead?

The good news is that it’s easy to create a Linktree-style page directly on your own website, and it’s way better for your business.

Here’s why:

  • Your branding stays on point: Everything looks and feels like you.
  • You own it: No relying on third-party tools that could change, disappear or just break.
  • Better insights: Use your existing Google Analytics to track link clicks and learn what’s working.
  • More flexibility: Customise the design and content however you like.
  • Stronger calls to action: Easily add CTAs to encourage things like newsletter sign-ups, bookings, or product purchases.

If Instagram is one of your marketing channels, setting up a links page on your own website is a no-brainer. If you need help, contact us and we can get you set up!
