Once your account is created, you can create folders to organize your links: by client, creator, social network, or even virtual assistant (VA). Each folder can contain subfolders and has its own analytics dashboard. You can also invite a team member to a specific folder for secure delegated management.


Direct link bio tool

From the main dashboard, click “Create Link” and select “Direct Link.” You’ll be guided through each step. 👉A detailed tutorial is available here if you want a visual step-by-step guide: https://linkscale.to/fr/guides/creer-un-direct-link-linkscale

Choose Domain and Destination URL

LinkScale offers 10 default domains (e.g., bio.fr, linkscale.to...), but you can also connect or purchase a custom domain (explained later). Select your domain and enter the destination URL.

Customize Metadata

You can customize the meta title, description, and preview image. This allows for a branded preview when sharing your link (on WhatsApp, Instagram, X...).

Customize meta for your bio link

Leverage Native Deep Linking

All LinkScale links use native deep linking, allowing them to open directly in the user’s default browser (Safari, Chrome...), avoiding in-app browsers. Additionally, LinkScale displays a safe page in the app if the user returns to it, increasing visibility.

For TikTok and Snapchat, simple steps (illustrated in-app) ensure it opens in the correct browser.

Add a Custom Safe Page

The safe page is shown to bots or suspicious connections. You can use a neutral page, simple text, or alternate links to protect sensitive URLs (adult content, affiliate offers, etc.).
