Social profiles give you very little room for links. Your audience might want your shop, your latest video, your booking page and your other social accounts, but your profile only has space for one or a few links.
A link-in-bio page solves this. It's a simple, mobile-friendly page that holds all your important links behind one short address. Here's how to build one that people actually use.
What is a link-in-bio page?
A link-in-bio page is a single web page with a list of buttons, each leading somewhere useful. You put the page's address in your social bios, email signature or business card, and visitors choose where to go next.
With Trimxlink, your page lives at an address like trimx.me/profile/yourname.
Who should use one?
- Creators with content across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and a newsletter.
- Small businesses that want to send people to a menu, shop, booking page and reviews.
- Freelancers who want a portfolio, contact form and LinkedIn in one place.
- Musicians and podcasters linking to every platform their work is on.
- Developers sharing GitHub, a portfolio and a blog.
- Event organisers collecting tickets, schedules and venue details.
What to put on your page
Start with the essentials and resist the urge to add everything:
- Your most important action first. This is what you most want people to do: shop, book, subscribe or download.
- Your current highlight. A new product, latest video, upcoming event or limited offer.
- Your main social profiles. Only the ones you actively use.
- A way to contact you. Email or a contact form.
Five to seven links is a good target. Fewer choices make it easier for visitors to pick one.
How to order your links
People read from the top and many never scroll. Put links in order of importance to you, not in the order you created them.
- Top: your primary goal and anything time-sensitive.
- Middle: evergreen content, like your shop, portfolio or main channel.
- Bottom: secondary profiles and contact details.
Review the order every few weeks. When a promotion ends, move it down or remove it.
Design tips that help
- Use a clear profile photo or logo so visitors know they're in the right place.
- Write a profile name people recognise, such as your brand or the name you use on social media.
- Choose a calm background colour. Your buttons should stand out, not the background.
- Label buttons clearly. "Shop new arrivals" beats "Click here".
- Check it on your phone. Most visitors arrive from a social app on mobile.

Keep it fresh
A link-in-bio page works best when it reflects what you're doing right now:
- Update your highlight link whenever you launch something new.
- Remove expired offers and old events.
- Check every link once a month to make sure nothing is broken.
Link-in-bio page vs a single short link
| Use a link-in-bio page when... | Use a single short link when... |
|---|---|
| You have several important destinations | There's one clear destination |
| The space is permanent, like a bio | The context is specific, like a post or email |
| Visitors have different goals | You want everyone to take one action |
Many people use both: a link-in-bio page in their profile, and individual short links in posts, emails and ads so they can track each campaign.
