Keep your current link at the top
Add a link with a preview image for your shop, course or newsletter. Drag and drop to sort the links and highlight the one you mention in your post. Set a start and end date for a promotion.

A page that fits your profile
Choose one of four designs and add your profile picture, name and description. Your page has its own address with /bio/ and your name. When your offer changes, edit the links on that page.
- Four designs: Sun, Petrol, Cobalt and Raspberry
- Profile picture, name and description
- The same page address for changing links
Which links interest your visitors?
See how often your page was viewed and each link was clicked, plus the trend per day. Crowdbird stores no IP addresses for this, just an identifier whose key changes daily. These numbers belong to your link-in-bio page, not your Instagram post views.

Your link-in-bio page in three steps
Choose your address
Pick your name for the address with /bio/ and add your profile picture and description.
Add your links
Add links with titles and preview images. Choose a design and publish your page.
Add the address to Instagram
Copy the page address into your Instagram profile. When your offer changes, edit the links on your Crowdbird page.

Add your page to your Instagram profile
Once your Crowdbird page is ready, finish the setup in the Instagram mobile app. Have your page address ready to paste, so you don't have to type it out by hand.
Copy your Crowdbird page address.
Open your Instagram profile in the app and tap Edit profile.
Find the website-link controls, add your page address and save your change.
Return to your profile, open the link and test every destination.
Test the published page, not just the addresses you entered while building it. Check that a shop button reaches the intended collection and that a signup button opens the form visitors need. If a destination requires an account, decide whether that extra step makes sense for the visitor.
Make each button match a reason to visit
A page with several destinations helps when your posts point to different actions. Ceramico Studio (@ceramico.studio) might need links for a mug collection, workshop booking and care instructions. One page keeps those destinations together without making every visitor start at the shop homepage.
Use labels that describe the destination, such as Shop ceramic mugs or Book a pottery workshop, rather than vague labels like Explore. Put the link mentioned in your latest post near the top, and use a featured link when one destination deserves extra attention. Crowdbird supports drag-and-drop ordering, thumbnails and four page designs.
Your caption should help people recognize the right button once they arrive. A workshop post can tell readers to open your profile link and choose the workshop booking button. This is more useful than asking them to hunt through unrelated links.
Plan what happens when an offer ends
Scheduled visibility lets you prepare a link before you need it and stop showing it when the offer ends. Set its start and end dates, then check that the destination will remain usable throughout that window. You can also turn links on and off manually.
Read clicks without guessing their source
Crowdbird shows page views and clicks per day, plus clicks for individual links. Visitor counting does not store IP addresses. These figures describe activity on your link page, not views of your Instagram content.
Avoid detours and stale destinations
The most common setup problems are practical: an unclear label, an outdated destination or a caption that names a button you removed. Review the page on your phone whenever you change an offer. Keep the page address stable while editing the links behind it.
For a post promoting one resource, Instagram comment-to-DM automation can send people its link directly. A keyword comment can trigger a DM containing the relevant link, with an optional public reply. This requires an Instagram professional account, and DM replies follow Instagram's standard 24-hour messaging window.
Where is the link in bio on Instagram?
Look on the person's Instagram profile for their website link. If you started from a post or Reel, open the account's profile first, then look for its link. A Crowdbird page opens a separate page where you can choose the shop, signup or other destination you need.
What does link in bio mean on Instagram?
It means the account wants you to visit the website link on its profile. The phrase points you away from the post and toward that profile link. For a shop, the destination might be a product collection. For a creator, it could be a booking page, newsletter or resource.
How do I tap the link in someone's Instagram bio?
Open their profile and tap the website link. If it opens a page containing several buttons, choose the button that matches what you wanted from the post. For example, a pottery tutorial might point you toward workshop booking instead of the shop's general product collection.
Can I schedule links for a promotion?
Yes, Crowdbird lets you set when a link starts and stops appearing. You can also switch links on or off yourself. Before scheduling a promotion, check that its destination will be ready when the button becomes visible, and keep an ongoing shop or contact link available afterward.
Can I use a custom domain for my Crowdbird page?
No, Crowdbird does not support custom domains for link-in-bio pages. Instead, you can customize the ending of your Crowdbird page address. Pick something recognizable and easy to keep, such as your shop name, so you can update the destinations on the page without replacing the address in your Instagram profile.
Can I tell which Instagram post caused a bio link click?
No, Crowdbird's link-in-bio tracking does not attribute clicks to individual Instagram posts. It reports page views, daily clicks and clicks for each link without storing visitors' IP addresses. Use those totals to compare destinations, but do not assign a click to a particular Reel or feed post.
