WHAT’S LINKTREE?

When it comes to social media, we all hear loads of different technical subjects thrown around, but a lot of us have no idea what any of them mean, so, let's break them down over a few different posts so you can start to understand things a bit better when people are talking about stuff, and help take your brand from local to national.

You may have heard people speaking about link tree, or even had private messages on instagram about signing up to the platform or something similar.

As you will know, you can only put one clickable link into your profile for people to click and visit. Most people use their website address. However, we all have so many different channels for people to visit

Twitter

Facebook

YouTube

SnapChat

LinkedIn etc. etc.

So Linktree is a website you can put all these links into and then people visit their site and have all your links to hand to click……HOWEVER……….

Should you be using LINKTREE……In short NO.

However, why do I say think. Well there’s a number of reasons.

It’s not on brand, you can’t re-skin the website to look like your brand and business. It’s quite a temprementle website and has been known to crash, so if people click the link it might not be working. However, the most important reason to not use Linktree or anything of its ilk, it’s another step away from your website. Why on earth would you use a link to take people to another website when all it will do is improve their search and click ratings rather than your own. Why not create a page on your website that you can link too from instagram and other pages that has all your weblinks on it. That way, not only will traffic to your website increase, but you’ll have a page to direct people too for all your platform links in the future.
