There are two kinds of links you can add to your Linktree! Static links and embedded links - which we call Link Apps. You can add both by clicking the “Add Link” button in the "Links" tab.
What is a static link?
This is a link that will take the visitor off your Linktree page - such as to your website or Yelp reviews!
To add a static link, click the add link button on the Links tab and paste in the URL. Step by step instructions here.
What is an embedded link (Link App)?
An embedded link, also called a Link App, allows you to highlight your content or have your visitors complete an action without ever having to leave your Linktree. Meaning that within Linktree your visitors can watch a Youtube video, stream your latest podcast, fill out a contact form, leave you a tip and much more!
The power of embedded links (Link Apps)
Link apps are a great way to boost engagement and get your content viewed by your visitors! Why are Link Apps impactful:
Reduce Clicks
The more clicks your audience has to make to find what they are looking for, the more likely they are to drop off. Always keep your visitors' journey in mind. What’s the quickest way you can get your visitors from point A to point B? Link apps!
🤩 Our Calendly Link App, that lets visitors book within Linktree, resulted in 7x more bookings made, compared to links that were sent to the Calendly website.
Highlight the Value
Visitors want to understand the value of your Linktree before they engage with you. Don’t leave them guessing, use Link Apps to highlight that value up front.
Tell your Story
Storytelling is a powerful marketing tool. Use Link Apps to tell your story and create deeper connections with your visitors. Deeper connections, means higher engagement. Offer ways to connect with your brand, such as by sharing your team Spotify playlist. Or embed an “About Us” introduction video to drive connection and build trust.
Whether you are looking to share your content, make and collect money or connect with your audience - Link Apps are a great feature to use! You can view all 30+ Link Apps in our marketplace or by clicking “Add Link” and then “View All Apps” in your Linktree admin. Each Link App has it's own unique settings, you can find these step by step guides here.
Start adding your embedded links now by clicking "Add link", "View all apps" and selecting the relevant link app!
How many links should I have?
There is no right or wrong answer, however here are a few things to consider:
The order of your links is important: The further down the link is on your page, the less clicks it will receive.
Think about your goal: If your goal is to have an equal click through rate across all of your links, we recommend having no more than 7-10 links.
Need over 10 links? Make sure you keep your visitors' experience front of mind. On a phone, only 5 classic links will fit on the screen before they need to scroll. Make use of headers & featured layouts to keep your Linktree organized.
