Link in Bio Setup
Create your Link in Bio page, add links, and customize the appearance.
Instagram gives you one link. You need it to go to your portfolio, booking page, latest blog post, and pricing guide simultaneously. A Link in Bio page solves this by giving you a landing page with all your important links in one place.
Creating Your Link in Bio
- Go to Marketing > Link in Bio
- Click Set Up if this is your first time
- Choose a theme — 5 built-in themes from minimal to bold
- Your page is live at yourdomain.com/links (or creav.io/yourname/links)
Adding Links
Click + Add Link for each item. Each link has:
- Title — what the visitor sees (e.g., "Book a Session", "View Portfolio", "Latest Blog Post")
- URL — where it goes. Can be internal (your booking page) or external (your Spotify playlist, Amazon storefront, etc.)
- Icon — optional emoji or icon next to the title
- Visibility — toggle links on/off without deleting them. Useful for seasonal promotions.
Drag links to reorder them. Put your most important link at the top — that is where most clicks go.
Link Ideas for Photographers
- Book a Session — link to your booking page

- Client Gallery Access — link to the client portal login
- Google Review — direct link to leave a review
- Contact Me — link to your contact form
- Mini Session Special — seasonal link for promotions
Customizing Appearance
Under Appearance, configure:
- Profile photo — your headshot or logo
- Display name — your name or business name
- Bio text — one line about what you do (e.g., "DC wedding & portrait photographer")
- Theme — 5 options: Minimal, Classic, Dark, Gradient, and Bold. Each uses your brand colors.
- Button style — rounded, square, or pill-shaped
- Social icons — add clickable icons for your social profiles at the top or bottom
Analytics
The Link in Bio page tracks:
- Total views — how many people visited the page
- Click-through rate per link — which links get the most clicks
- Top referrers — where visitors come from (usually Instagram)
Use this data to reorder links and remove underperforming ones. If "Book a Session" gets 40% of clicks and "My Playlist" gets 1%, move the playlist to the bottom or remove it.
Using Your Link in Bio
Copy the URL from the Link in Bio settings and paste it into:
- Instagram bio
- TikTok bio
- Twitter/X bio
- Email signature
- Google Business Profile website field
One link everywhere, pointing to one page you fully control.
