Link in bio on your own domain: GETMAILOV vs Linktree and Beacons

8 min

On Instagram you can only put one link in your profile. That's why tools like Linktree or Beacons were born: a page with all your links so followers can find your shop, your WhatsApp, your YouTube channel or your website. The problem is that those pages live on a third-party domain, with ads, limited styling and no connection to your real business. GETMAILOV proposes an alternative that more and more creators and local businesses choose: a Link in bio page on your own domain, with your brand, connected to your website, shop and bookings. In this article we explain why this change is worth it.

Why not depend on Linktree

Linktree and Beacons have one good thing: they are fast and free. But they also have some important limitations. The first is the domain: your link is linktr.ee/yourname, a domain that isn't yours and where the tool's brand is more visible than your own. If Linktree changes its policy, its price or disappears, your social entry point is left without a home.

The second limitation is ads and customisation. The free plans of these tools show their own branding or limited features, and customising them well usually costs money. What's more, the page isn't connected to anything: it's an island of links that doesn't know what you do or what you sell.

With GETMAILOV you get a page on your own domain (for example yourdomain.com) with your logo, your colours and your style. The link you put in your bio is your brand, not a third-party platform's. And because the domain is yours, nobody can change the rules or make you disappear overnight.

That difference may look small, but in the world of social media, where every click is a chance to sell, having your own domain in your bio is a sign of professionalism that followers notice.

It also makes your profile more credible in the eyes of brands and partners: when someone clicks your bio and lands on a page with your domain and your design, they immediately understand that you take what you do seriously. That first impression opens doors that a generic link page simply cannot open.

More than a list of links

The GETMAILOV Link in bio page isn't a simple list: it's an entry point to your whole business. You can put your usual links (WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, email), but you can also connect what actually generates revenue: booking an appointment, your shop with products or a contact form.

That changes the dynamic: instead of turning followers into clicks, you turn followers into clients. Someone who lands on your Link in bio can, without leaving the page, book an appointment with you or buy your product. And because the page lives on your domain, everything you do there works for your brand and your SEO.

For creators and businesses living on socials, this connection is key. If you post content on Instagram and TikTok, your bio is the only gateway to what you sell. Having your own gateway, with your brand and direct access to your shop, means you stop depending on the goodwill of a third-party platform.

And the page updates in seconds from the panel: change a link, add a new product or edit your intro text without waiting for anyone to generate code.

It works on the free GETMAILOV plan

One of the things people like most about GETMAILOV is that you can start without paying. The free plan includes building your website with the core pages plus your Link in bio page, hosted and live. We never ask for a card and there's no commitment: you can stay on the free plan as long as you want.

That's especially useful when you're starting to grow on socials and don't want to spend money before you have income. Publish your Link in bio on your domain, put it in your Instagram and TikTok profile, and start measuring how many people reach your page and what they do once there.

When your project grows, you can move to GETMAILOV Start and add the full website, email on your domain, bookings and shop. Nothing you've created is lost: your Link in bio stays the same, now with more features behind it.

And remember: having your own Link in bio also protects you. If a social network changes its algorithm or limits your reach one day, your domain and your page are still yours. It's the same principle as owning your contact list: never depend 100% on a platform you don't control.

Your Instagram and TikTok bio is the gateway to your business, and that gateway should be yours. With GETMAILOV you get a Link in bio page on your own domain, with your brand, connected to your shop and bookings, and available even on the free plan.
