Link in bio and Linktree examples, ideas, and templates in 2026
Good link in bio examples put a photo, a short bio, a single main call-to-action button at the top, and
short link labels that fit a phone screen. Below are real mobile templates from Heya's library of 68
templates, followed by a comparison of five builders starting at $0.
Heya is ours, so read its row with that in mind. Every other number comes from each company's own pages,
checked on October 29, 2026.
The short answer
One clear first link The best examples highlight a single priority action right under
your name and photo, so visitors on a phone do not have to scroll or guess where to tap first.
Short button labels Keep button text to a few words so it stays on one line on a
small screen. Long sentences wrap awkwardly and make a list of links slower to scan.
Social icons grouped together Put social profiles in a compact icon row rather than
stacking each network as a full-width button. On Heya, the socials block links to 29 networks plus
email, phone, and website.
Start from a template Heya Free costs $0 with no credit card required, includes 68
templates, and lets you publish up to 3 sites at a yourname.heya.bio address right from your phone.

What to put on a link in bio page
Start your page with a clear photo or logo, your name, and one sentence on what you do. Right
underneath, put your single most important link as a prominent button so people know where to tap
first, followed by a short list of secondary links for recent releases, bookings, or latest work.
If you're a musician, DJ, or podcaster, an embedded media player lets people listen right on the page.
On Heya, our embed block handles YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, Calendly, and Google Maps, and
you can drop in a countdown block that ticks down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds to a show or
release. Wrap things up at the bottom with a compact row of social icons.
Wording and layout tips that work on phones
Almost everyone clicking from a social profile opens your page inside an in-app phone browser. Keep
your button labels under five words and start with an action verb like 'Listen on Spotify' or 'Book a
call' so the text doesn't wrap onto multiple lines. Instead of dumping merch, tour dates, and old
press links into one long list, break them up with headings or subtle dividers.
On Heya, you can put up to 40 sections on a page, with up to 6 buttons in a buttons block for featured
actions and up to 50 links in a links block for deeper archives. Stick to high-contrast colors from a
small palette so buttons stay readable in bright sunlight, and always check the layout on your phone
to make sure tap targets feel comfortable.
Common link in bio mistakes to avoid
The biggest mistake is giving every link the same visual weight, which makes people read a whole wall
of buttons just to pick one. Clear out expired event links and old announcements from the top of your
page too, since dead links make an artist or business look inactive, and use a compact social icon bar
instead of turning every social network into its own full-width button.
You'll also want to skip heavy images that load slowly on mobile data (Heya automatically resizes
uploads to 2048 pixels on the long edge and converts them to WebP). Finally, check if you need
built-in analytics, email capture forms, or digital checkout before picking a tool. On Heya, you can
link buttons to a Google Form or Tally form for sign-ups and to your checkout or store page for
payments, while Linktree, Beacons, Milkshake, and Carrd include built-in tools on specific plans.
