What is a link in bio?

Link in bio is “ an URL you can click” which leads the users who visit your page to another website.
It plays an important role as a writing page which fills needs of the users on your social media pages such as wanting to see what kinds of business you have, or to know more about various contents.
By attaching an URL to your brands, products, or services as a link in bio, it can be beneficial for public relations for companies and individuals. This is why the link in bio has attracted attention as one of the strongest channels on social media.
However, Instagram has its policy where users cannot leave Instagram and go to another page even when they click on the URLs on Instagram posts. This is because Instagram does not want their users away from Instagram.
Due to this Instagram policy, it would be very efficient if you guide your users to your link by saying “Check my Bio!” or “Access the product from the link in bio.”
This Bio provides such a small space with only 150 word count, but all the users would look to know about the account.

What can you do with a link in bio?
In the last paragraph, we have walked through “what a link in bio is,” but many of you still wonder “what can we do with the link in bio?”, or “what is the benefit of the link in bio?”
As noted above, “link in bio” indicates a clickable URL that leads users who visited your site on social media to other websites. Following is what exactly you can do with the “link in bio,” and you can benefit a lot from it.
- You can raise your link’s CTR
- You can attach brand hashtags
Raise your link’s CTR

Link in bio allows you to raise your link’s CTR.
Most of those who paste an URL for the link in bio would seek their users to make some actions; they would want their users to look at their websites, purchase products from the shopping tags, and disseminate their own hashtags.
Clearly stating what you desire to your users would result in raising the link’s CTR.
・What’s CTR? —— CTR, Click Through Rate, indicates the ratio of the number of clicks by users to the number of displays (impressions). It is calculated by “CTR = number of clicks ÷ number of displays.” Suppose your website was viewed 100 times and a link received 10 clicks, your CTR for the link would be 10%, calculated from the equation above.

For instance, UNIQLO, a gold standard for fast fashion in Japan where people can get any casual clothing they want, reaches out to the users and asks them to mention their account whenever they post an outfit with UNIQLO’s products.

Furthermore, ZOZOTOWN, a widely known fashion shopping website in Japan, simply uses an arrow to show the link to make it easy for the users to access the link and start shopping.
In order to raise your link’s CTR, it is essential that you clearly state what users can attain, and what the users can do by clicking the link. Only pasting the link without any explanation may result in making the users very confused and refrain from clicking the link.
Attach brand’s hashtags

In “link in bio,” you can attach brand hashtags and disseminate your brand name and products to many users.
Disseminating your brand hashtags to a lot of users helps you sell more and attract more new users.
However, your account will not be included in the tag searching even if you use hashtags on your Instagram bio.

For instance, Johnsonville, USA's top sausage company, introduces posts by users with hashtag #Johnsonvile on their official Instagram account. As a result, more and more people post with the hashtag which lead to a steep rise in UGC (User Generated Contents) about Johnsonville on Instagram.
Additionally, users have established that the official account would pick up the UGC about Johnsonville, so if they purchase their product, they would post on Instagram.
