6 Benefits of Using an Instagram Link in Bio Tool 

There are a number of reasons you should be using a link in bio tool on Instagram. We’ve narrowed it down to the top six.

Benefit #1: Drive Traffic Outside of Instagram

The number one benefit of using a link in bio tool is the ability to drive traffic outside of Instagram

This could include encouraging your audience to read a full article, shop a new look, or sign up to an event.

With Linkin.bio by Later, you create a fully customized landing page (hello brand colors and fonts 👋) with unlimited button links and a clickable version of your Instagram feed. 

You add up to five links per feed image, and even tag products (making them instantly shoppable) if you have a Shopify store. 

Plus, with our new Mailchimp integration, you can collect emails, get more newsletter subscribers, and grow your email audience too.

Benefit #2: Support Your Brand Identity 

A link in bio landing page is like a mini-website for your Instagram account — and it’s a great opportunity to bring a visual pop of personality to your stylish bio for instagram. 

With Linkin.bio by Later, you have the flexibility to customize your landing page so your followers recognize your brand the second they tap in.

Under the design tab, you can choose from a light, dark, or custom landing page theme. If you use the custom theme, you can pick a background color, button colors, font style and color, button shape and more. 

You can even upload specific color hex codes to use your exact brand colors, just like Heir Watch did with their Linkin.bio by Later landing page:

Benefit #3: Highlight a Specific Campaign or Video 

When you use a link in bio tool, you set the stage. You have the choice on what you want to highlight and how.

Plus, the shopping integration lets you see exactly what is generating clicks and sales, which can help inform your social strategy. 

Benefit #5: Learn What Makes Your Audience “Click”

With a Linkin.bio landing page, you can collect and track insights beyond Instagram’s built-in offerings.

You can see exactly what attracts your audience and makes them click. 

And this is valuable audience interest information – you can use data to help inform your Instagram strategy.

You may learn that your audience loves clicking through to read blog posts on a specific topic and not so much another.  

With Linkin.bio by Later’s analytics, you can track overall landing page views, button clicks, feed post clicks, and your overall click-through rate.

Benefit #6: Cross Promote Your Other Social Channels

Last but not least, you can use a link in bio landing page to cross promote all your social media channels.
