Hang on to your hats, because you’re about to be blown away by our latest feature. Today we’re officially launching Smart.bio by Tailwind , a FREE link in bio tool that will help you drive traffic from Instagram like never before!
With just one click, your followers will have access to all your featured content with not one, but two customizable linking options.
If you’ve dabbled with another link in bio tool before, you’re probably used to having either static button links for your content or linked post images on your landing page.
Now with Smart.bio, you can use both!
Any static links will live at the top of your custom landing page as button links.
These are handy for newsletters, links to your other social profiles OR content that’s relevant to your followers time and again.
Linked post images will appear under your button links, and allow your followers to click through to products, pages or blogs featured in your latest Instagram feed posts.
It’s the best of both worlds! And that’s not the only thing that makes Smart.bio the most advanced FREE link in bio tool around. It also has features like:
- Complete customization options for your landing page, including title, link style, and buttons in any color
- In-depth performance analytics that measure page views, link clicks and your overall click-through-rate (CTR)
- Personalized calls to action (CTAs) under your linked post images to help give your followers context and encourage clicks
With Smart.bio by Tailwind, you can make the most of every Instagram post to drive traffic and increase sales. And did we mention it’s FREE, now and forever?

Wait. What Does Link in Bio Mean On Instagram?
‘Link in Bio’ refers to a clickable hyperlink at the end of your Instagram profile bio.
Instagram allows for one website or URL to be included in your bio, making it valuable real estate for driving traffic and sales from your website or blog.
How to put a link in your Instagram bio:
You can add or change the link that appears in your bio by going to your Instagram profile > Edit Profile > Website. Once you enter your URL of choice, click done to save!
The hyperlink will now appear underneath your bio text on your Instagram profile.
But wait. If you can just add your entire website to your link in bio, why would you need a link in bio tool?
There’s a couple of reasons that adding your website URL to your Instagram profile and calling it a day may not be helping you get much traffic. They are:
- Your website URL is not trackable which means you’ll never know just how many people are clicking on your website from Instagram unless you use a trackable URL or a link in bio tool.
- Your followers may get lost when they search for the specific product or post they saw on your Instagram and give up before they find it.
- Your followers may never click your website because they already assume they’ll have to search for that relevant content and simply don’t want the hassle!
- You might be switching your website link multiple times a day if you feature lots of products and posts. Talk about a headache!
All of these reasons spell bad news for your plan to drive traffic to your website from Instagram. That’s why link in bio tools are so handy (and it’s a major bonus when they’re FREE like Smart.bio by Tailwind!)
When your followers click on your custom Smart.bio link, they’ll be taken to a crisp, clean landing page that features all of your links in one place – no switching or searching required!
Plus, your Smart.bio landing page updates automatically when you schedule with Tailwind for Instagram. That means when your linked post goes live, the clickable image will appear on your landing page without any extra lifting on your part!

Step #4: Let Your Followers Know Where to Find Your New Link in Bio

Then, mention your link in bio in your caption CTAs so your followers can find the product, post or page that sparked your interest. This can be as simple as, “tap my link in bio to learn more!”
When your followers tap on your Smart.bio link, they’ll see your static links and individual post links neatly laid out on your custom landing page.
