You run an Instagram account, a Facebook page, a WhatsApp number, a website, a menu and a booking link, yet the platform only lets you add one link to your profile. The standard fix is a link in bio page: one link that opens a tidy mobile page with everything a customer needs.
In practice it is a lightweight digital business card that works on any phone with no app. This guide covers what it is, what to put on it, how to order your links, and examples for different kinds of business.
What a link in bio page is and why you need one
It is a short page at an address such as name.wslat.net that you place in your profile bio. A visitor taps it and sees your photo, your business name and a set of ordered buttons: call, WhatsApp, website, menu, book. Instead of digging through old posts for your number, they find it in two seconds.
People usually reach you from a phone, and a single link is easy to remember and print. Tools like Linktree made the idea familiar; you can read the background on Wikipedia.
What to put on your link in bio page
Do not cram everything in. Choose what moves a customer toward buying or contacting you:
- A WhatsApp button with a prefilled message, and a direct call button.
- Your map location and opening hours.
- A menu, product catalogue or PDF price list.
- Payment links and transfer details, clearly shown.
- Only the social accounts that matter.
- A photo gallery or a short intro video.
- A contact form and a save-contact button.
All of these are available in Wslat through ready templates per business type, so you never start from a blank page.
How to order your links
Order is the difference between a page that converts and one that just gets visited. Treat it as a single phone screen: people read from the top and rarely scroll far.
- Put the key action first: booking for a clinic, the menu for a restaurant, WhatsApp for a shop.
- Follow with reassurance: location, hours, customer reviews.
- Then your social accounts and background links.
- Push down what is rarely needed, such as old news.
- Name buttons with clear verbs: Book, Order, Call.
Examples by type of business
| Business | First button | Then | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Restaurant or cafe | Menu | Location and hours | WhatsApp order, Google review |
| Clinic or doctor | Book an appointment | Location and insurance | Save contact |
| Beauty salon | WhatsApp booking | Work gallery | Instagram, reviews |
| Online shop | Shop now | WhatsApp support | Shipping and payment info |
| Freelancer or photographer | Portfolio | Request a quote | CV as PDF |
Connecting the page to platforms and cards
Add the link to your profile as described in Instagram bio link and in TikTok bio link. You do not have to stop at social media: print the link as a QR code on receipts and your shopfront, or tie it to an NFC card that opens it with one tap.
Every card and QR code points to a short link you can redirect whenever you like, so if your page changes you do not have to reprint. For the bigger picture of combining the two, see our digital business card overview.
What makes the page persuasive
- A clear photo and a one-line headline saying what you offer.
- Brand colours with enough contrast to read the text easily.
- Fast loading: no giant images or autoplay videos.
- Proper right-to-left Arabic and a readable font.
- Regular upkeep: remove expired offers and broken links.
Measure and improve
After a week, look at which buttons get the most taps and move the weakest ones down or delete them. The Wslat dashboard shows visits and clicks, and link click tracking explains how to read them. If you are comparing tools, see our Linktree alternative guide.
