Clickable.bio for Instagram

Clickable.bio for Instagram is a feature for Social Marketing Pro that helps clients drive traffic from their Instagram gallery to their website or online store. This enables businesses to capture more qualified leads, convert them to customers, and grow. Clickable.bio transforms Instagram posts into a gallery of images that link directly to the client’s site or shop.

Why is Clickable.bio important?

The goal of any marketing initiative is to increase revenue. Social media offers a cost-effective way to drive traffic to your client’s site or store, capturing and converting leads into customers to boost sales.

Instagram boasts the highest user engagement rate among social platforms. In fact, 83% of users discover new products and services on Instagram. However, users are easily distracted by other content. Without a simple way to guide followers to a client’s website, they may turn to competitors instead.

With Social Marketing Pro’s Clickable.bio, you can direct followers from Instagram to your client’s site for key actions like:

• Purchasing a product
• Booking an appointment
• Filling out a lead form

How does Clickable.bio work?
