If you’ve been using Linktree to manage your bio links, you’re not alone. We also relied on it when we were initially building CanadaCreate’s social media presence.
However, we soon realized that we were spending unnecessary money on Linktree.
Since then, we’ve discovered that creating a link in bio page on WordPress is a far superior option. This approach not only saves you money but also provides you with full control over your brand and analytics.
If you’re interested in creating a professional link in bio page like we did, without the ongoing costs of third-party services, you’ve come to the right place. We have assisted numerous WordPress users in developing their own custom link pages, and in this guide, we will walk you through the process step-by-step.
Whether you are an influencer, business owner, or content creator, you will learn how to design a link in bio page on WordPress that is entirely your own—without any monthly fees.
Why Should You Create a Link in Bio Page on WordPress?
Social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook restrict users to a single link in their profile, making it difficult to share multiple important resources like various pages, promotional sales, popular products, and other essential content.
Instead of directing users to a single page, you can create a link in bio page that guides traffic to multiple sections of your WordPress website.
While various services like LinkTree, ContactInBio, and Bio.FM provide link in bio options, building it directly on WordPress offers greater flexibility and cost savings.
This is because WordPress allows you to create a comprehensive website, whether it’s for an online store or a personal portfolio. Instead of paying for a standalone service just to create a link in bio page, you can utilize WordPress for that purpose and establish your entire online presence.
Consider it an investment in your online business that will save you money over time.
As illustrated in the image below, we utilize a custom link in bio page for CanadaCreate.

Step 1: Install and Configure SeedProd
The simplest way to create a link in bio page is by using SeedProd.
SeedProd is the top drag-and-drop page builder that enables you to design custom pages in WordPress without any coding skills.
SeedProd offers 90 pre-designed blocks and over 350 professionally crafted themes and templates, including a ‘Personal Links’ template ideal for creating a WordPress link in bio page.
In addition, SeedProd can be used to build various types of websites, from restaurant sites to transportation and logistics platforms. We have utilized SeedProd to develop many of our partner websites, such as WP Charitable, WPForms, and Duplicator. Even the SeedProd website itself is built using SeedProd!
We believe SeedProd is an excellent plugin, but we understand that there is no universal solution. Therefore, we have created a comprehensive SeedProd review that discusses the advantages and disadvantages, helping you determine if it’s the right plugin for your link in bio page.
For this guide, we will concentrate on creating a link page for Instagram bios. However, you can apply the same page design for any social media platform.
Begin by installing the SeedProd plugin. For detailed instructions, refer to our comprehensive guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Important:There is a free version of SeedProd available, but we will be using the Pro version for its enhanced features and templates. Additionally, if you are selling products online, SeedProd Pro integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce.
After activation, navigate to SeedProd » Settings and input your license key.
You can locate this information in your account on the SeedProd website. After entering your license, click the ‘Verify Key’ button.
Step 2: Select a Professionally Designed Template
To create your landing page, go to SeedProd » Landing Pages and click the ‘Add New Landing Page’ button.
You can now select a template for your new page.
SeedProd offers templates categorized by campaign types, including coming soon, thank you, and sales pages. Use the tabs at the top of the screen to explore templates for various campaign types.
To create a link in bio page, click on the ‘Lead Squeeze’ tab and hover over the ‘Personal Links’ template. When it appears, click the orange ‘Checkmark.’
First, enter a name for your link in bio page. SeedProd will automatically generate a URL based on the title you provide, but you can modify this URL to suit your preferences.
A clear and descriptive URL will assist search engines in understanding the content of your page, enabling them to present it to the appropriate audience.
Next, click the ‘Save and Start Editing the Page’ button.
Step 3:Personalize the Link In Bio Template
Once you select a template, SeedProd will launch that design in its user-friendly drag-and-drop editor.
You will see a live preview of your page on the right side, with various settings available on the left.
The Personal Links template comes pre-loaded with several blocks, which are essential components of all SeedProd designs.
To modify any of these pre-designed blocks, simply click on the block within your layout. You can then adjust the block using the settings found in the left-hand menu. For instance, in the image below, we are updating the text in the ‘Headline’ block.
To introduce a new block to your design, locate the block in the left-hand menu and drag it into your layout.
You can now customize the newly added block using the same method described earlier.
As you are setting up an Instagram bio link page, begin by removing the main image.
To delete the image, simply hover over it with your mouse, click the ‘Trash Can’ icon, and confirm by selecting ‘Yes, delete it!’
This layout offers a clean and straightforward design, ideal for creating a link in bio page.
Next, customize the header by adding your name, blog title, or business name.
In the section above your links, consider replacing the placeholder text with a brief bio and a compelling call to action to encourage visitors to follow you. You can do this by clicking on the placeholder text and editing the content.
If you’re unsure about your writing, you can always click the ‘Edit AI’ button for assistance.
Then, click ‘New Prompt’ in the popup window.
This will take you to our AI content generator, where you can request a well-crafted short bio for your page.
Now, simply type a prompt to instruct the AI on what to create.
The prompt can be straightforward, such as ‘Write a short bio for [X] for their link in bio page. It should include the following information: …’
Once you’re finished, just click ‘Generate Text.’
After that, feel free to adjust the copy to make it shorter, longer, simpler, or to change the tone based on your needs. For more information, please refer to our guide on how to create a website with AI.
If you are satisfied with the text, simply click ‘Insert.’
Step 4:Upload Your Company Logo
To place a logo at the top of the page, drag an Image block from the left-hand menu and drop it into your layout.
After that, click to select the ‘Image’ block in your layout.
Next, choose ‘Use Your Own Image’ from the left-hand menu and either select an image from the media library or upload a new file from your computer. This process is identical to adding an image in WordPress.
Alternatively, you can utilize AI to create images, just like you did with SeedProd to generate AI text.
Once you’ve added an image, you can adjust its size, alignment, and more using the settings on the left.
You can also include a link to your homepage or any other page on your WordPress blog. Simply enter the URL in the ‘Link’ field.
To enhance the image’s visibility, consider adding a CSS animation or applying a box shadow.
Step 5:Include Links on Your Bio Page
By default, the template includes three links. Replace these with links to your own content, such as your custom homepage, latest sales page, or any other significant content.
Begin by selecting each placeholder URL, then enter a new URL in the ‘Link’ field.
You can adjust the button’s text, size, alignment, and more using these settings. To change the overall design of the button, click on ‘Templates.’
Here, you will find a variety of button designs to choose from.
For further customization of the button, click on the ‘Advanced’ tab.
In this section, you can adjust the button size, select a different background color, and more.
Step 6:Test the Mobile Version of Your Design
Based on our internet usage statistics, over 90% of the global internet population accesses the web using mobile devices. Therefore, it’s crucial to design for smartphones and tablets, not just desktop computers.
The good news is that SeedProd is fully responsive, ensuring that all the pages you create will look fantastic on mobile devices.
To see how your link in bio page will appear on mobile devices, simply click the ‘Mobile Preview’ button located at the bottom of the left-hand menu.
Once you are satisfied with the appearance of your bio page, click ‘Save.’
To publish your page, click the arrow next to ‘Save’ and select the ‘Publish’ option.
Your link in bio page is now active, and you can include the link on all your social media profiles.
Step 7: Incorporate Analytics into Your Link in Bio Page
Services like LinkTree provide page analytics to help you identify what works and highlight areas for improvement.
This may involve refining your link in bio page or adjusting your promotional strategies to boost page views and lower bounce rates.
By building your own link in bio page on WordPress, you have the flexibility to implement your own analytics.
We recommend using MonsterInsights, which we believe is the top Google Analytics plugin for WordPress.
It displays your WordPress site’s statistics directly in the dashboard, allowing you to quickly assess the performance of your link in bio page. You can also track link and button clicks on the page.
At CanadaCreate and our partner sites, we utilize MonsterInsights to monitor conversions, track referral links, and gather overall website statistics to better understand and serve our audience.
Interested in learning more? We have compiled a comprehensive review of MonsterInsights based on our firsthand experience with the plugin.
Note:While MonsterInsights offers a free version, we recommend using the pro version for its comprehensive reports and real-time analytics. It also includes the Page Insights addon, which provides performance metrics for individual pages.
For detailed instructions, refer to our comprehensive guide on installing Google Analytics in WordPress.
After setting up MonsterInsights and Google Analytics, you should install the Page Insights addon to monitor the performance of your link in bio page. Simply navigate to Insights » Addons in your WordPress dashboard.
Locate ‘Page Insights’ and proceed to install and activate the addon.
Next, go to Page » All Pages and locate the link in bio page you created.
Click on ‘Insights’, represented by an icon resembling a graph.
This will display the page’s statistics, including bounce rate, number of visits, time spent on the page, and more.
Utilize this data to enhance traffic to your link in bio page.
If your link in bio page has just been launched, MonsterInsights may not immediately display data, so don’t worry if the page appears blank initially.
