In the content creators universe, the effectiveness of a conversion funnel often relies on an underestimated element: the bio link.
Between shadowbans, traffic loss, and poor redirections, many creators and agencies lose clicks (and therefore revenue) without even realizing it.
That's exactly why we designed Linkscale: a tool that combines performance, security, customization, and ease of use.
In this guide, we'll explain step by step how to create a Direct Link with Linkscale – the fastest, cleanest, and most optimized link to redirect your audience without friction.
🧭 Steps to Create a Direct Link with Linkscale
1. Log in to Your Linkscale Dashboard
Go to https://linkscale.to/fr and log in to your account. Upon registration, a project is automatically created. It will help you organize all your links (e.g., by model or by use).
2. Access the "Links" Section
From the navigation bar on the left, click on "Links". You'll arrive at a page that groups all the links already created in your project. Click on the "Create a new link" button.
3. Choose the Link Type: "Direct Link"
You'll then see two options:
Click on Direct Link.- Landing page: to create a multi-link page that matches your brand- Direct Link: for automatic redirection to a specific URL
This format is widely used by agencies to redirect from an Instagram bio or Threads link directly to a monetization page without going through an intermediate page.
4. Configure Your Direct Link
You'll now fill in the following fields:
- Link suffix: choose the end of your link (example: `heyallmylinks.com/angele`). This link will be the one you place in your model's bio or on a story.
- Destination link: paste the redirect URL here, a website, a Hubspot page, an article, or any other monetized link.
- Shield Protection: it's enabled by default. We recommend never disabling it: it protects your links from bots that scan bios and reduces the risk of shadowban.
- Domain choice: by default, a domain is selected, but you can choose another one from the provided list. Linkscale offers several multi-domains available to prevent all creators from using the same link (which attracts Instagram bots' attention). You can also connect your own custom domain for even stronger branding.
5. Validate the Creation
Then click on "Create link". Once the link is generated, you'll see it displayed at the top of the page. It's immediately active, ready to be copied, tested, or integrated into your ecosystem.
📌 Understanding the Terms: Direct Link, Deep Link, Shield & Shadowban
🔗 Direct Link
A Direct Link is a link that automatically redirects the user to a target URL, without an intermediate page. It's ideal for an content creators strategy where you want to maximize the click-through rate, for example from a swipe-up or Instagram bio.
📲 Deep Link
A Deep Link allows opening the page directly in the phone's native browser (Safari or Chrome), even from an app like Instagram, Threads, or Twitter. Result: better UX = better conversion. Linkscale automatically manages this technology on all its direct links.
🛡️ Shield
The Shield is our anti-bot protection. It allows:
- Filtering social media bots (scanning robots, crawlers, moderation AI...)
- Redirecting these bots to a neutral Safe Page, to not expose your real link to analysis
- Preserving the health of your URLs, and therefore your organic reach on platforms This is why the shadowban rate on Linkscale is 0% today.
