How To Create Your Business Linktree: 3 Simple Steps in 2025

To start your Linktree journey, you need to head to its official website. From there, the entire process is simple and can be split into three key steps.

1. Fill In Linktree’s Key Sign Up Steps

From Linktree’s homepage, I selected the “Sign up free” button from the top right corner. I was redirected to another page where I could create an account with my email address, Google account, or Apple account. In this case, I signed up with my Google account.

Next, I had to choose a username for my account and follow a five step process to set up. This included:

1. Pinpointing why I was using Linktree, either as a creator, a business, or for personal use
2. Choosing a plan. Though there are three paid plans available, you can set up a free plan to begin with.
3. Selecting which platforms I’m on. There were 15 options to choose from, including popular social media like Instagram, TikTok, and X. These platforms will appear on your link-in-bio page.
4. Adding the social media profiles I’d selected to my Linktree. I could also add links to other websites, like a personal website, online store, or blog, but this was optional.
5. Filling in key profile details like my profile photo, display name, and account bio.

2. Explore Your Linktree Dashboard

Once I’d finished filling in this key information, I saw a preview of how my Linktree looks. After pressing “Let’s go,” I was redirected to the “My Linktree” dashboard. From this area you organize your new bio by adding, changing, or deleting your links.

Other dashboard features to know about include:

• Changing your Linktree design. On the “My Linktree” page, I selected the “Design” button at the top right of the screen. From there, I could choose a more colorful theme for my Linktree. I could either create a custom design or pick from 28 free designs (at the time of writing).
• View analytics. Through my dashboard’s “Analytics” tab, I could view all of my Linktree’s activity. This included the number of views, clicks, and subscribers over time.
• Connect products from my store. If you own a store and want to increase online sales, you can connect your products to your Linktree from the “My Shop” tab. For extra cash, you can also create your own digital products to sell from the “Earn” tab.

3. Add Your Linktree URL to Your Other Websites

Once I was happy with my Linktree, I could start adding it to my other business pages. To do this, I had to go back to the “My Linktree” tab. At the top of the page, I tapped the “Copy your Linktree URL” button. When the button changed to “Copied!” I could paste the link wherever I wanted – it’s as easy as that!

As we’ve just seen, Linktree is a breeze to set up, but is this tool truly a suitable fit for your business? Read through the following questions to make an informed decision:

• Does your business have multiple online channels? – If your online presence only consists of a website and one key social media platform, a Linktree probably won’t be worth it. However, if you have multiple online channels that are equally as important (like a website, blog, YouTube, and LinkedIn), having a Linktree will help your customers access each of these platforms in one centralized location.
• Are you reaching out to customers online? – When reaching out to your network or potential customers online, you can paste your LinkTree URL to your messages. This makes it easier for the recipient to access the pages they need and learn more about your business.
• Do your social media profiles have limited bio space? – With some social media channels like Instagram and TikTok, you may only have a limited number of links that you can add to your bio. By adding a Linktree URL instead, you can help followers access multiple links at once.
• Do you mind having limited customization? – On the Linktree free plan, you have limited ways to customize your link-in-bio, which means you may have to upgrade to a paid plan for better options. So, if you want your bio to accurately reflect your brand personality, it might not be a suitable option.

Overall, Linktree is a fantastic free tool that can provide your customers with a convenient experience, especially if you have multiple online channels you’d like them to look through. Also, the platform is straightforward to set up, while you can easily add your link-to-bio URL to different websites.

Of course, Linktree won’t be a faultless solution and does have its pitfalls when it comes to customization and SEO. So, before you commit to the platform, double check that it’s aligned with your business goals first.
