How to make a Linktree in 2026, and other link in bio pages
To make a Linktree, create an account, choose the Free plan, add the links you want people to visit, and
arrange them in the order you want them seen. Give each link a clear name, check the page on your phone,
then copy its address into your social profiles. You can use the same approach with another link in bio
tool.
Heya is made by the team that wrote this guide, so read its row with that in mind. Prices come from each
company's own pages, checked between October 29 and November 9, 2026.

What to put on your link in bio page
Start with the destination you most want people to visit. Is that your shop, your booking page or the
work you're trying to share? Put that link first, and name it for what someone will find when they tap
it.
Keep the rest selective. You don't have to include every place you've ever posted. For a creator,
consider your current work and a way to contact you; for a small business, consider the page where
someone can book, buy or find the information they need before getting in touch.
Useful links to consider:
- Your main website.
- A shop or payment page, if you have one.
- A booking page or sign-up form.
- Contact details.
Read the labels without opening the links. Do they make sense on their own? Swap vague labels for the
name of the destination or action. Then check the order again (including anything left over from an
older project).
Adding the link to Instagram and TikTok
Copy the address of your published page, not the address you use to edit it. Open it outside the
builder before adding it to a profile, and check that the page you see is the one you want visitors to
see.
In Instagram, open your profile and go to the profile-editing controls. Look for the option to add a
link, paste your page address and save it. Return to your profile and tap the link yourself.
For TikTok, open your profile-editing controls and check whether your account has a website or link
field available. If it does, paste the published page address there and save. Check from your profile
again.
And keep the wording around the link in step with the page. If your bio tells people to book, put the
booking link near the top; if it points them to your latest work, make that easy to find. Changed the
page address? Update it on each profile where you've used it.
Other link in bio tools
You don't have to choose Linktree to make this kind of page. What do you need it to do today? Write
that down before comparing paid plans, and separate the features you'll use from the ones you haven't
decided about yet.
Beacons is worth considering if you want digital products and affiliate links, but include its 9% Free
and Creator commission in your comparison. Carrd offers a free Basic experience, with custom domains
available on Pro Standard and Pro Plus.
Heya lets you build before creating an account and publish through Google sign-in. Its buttons can
send visitors to an existing form, booking page, shop or payment page. Milkshake includes unlimited
links and Cards on Free, while Bio Sites includes unlimited links and up to 10 sites with a free
Squarespace account.
Try the free option that matches your list. Add your real links before deciding whether you need a
paid feature.
