Linksy Location, Contact and Social Shortcut Update

Linksy profiles now support more ways to help visitors quickly find, contact, and connect with you.

Add a location to your profile

Linksy Plus and Max users can now add a location directly below their profile bio and above their social shortcut icons.

The location can be:

• A city, such as Debrecen or Paris

• A small town or village

• A full address

• A business location

• A custom Google Maps location

• Your current location

When a visitor clicks the location, it opens in Google Maps, where they can view the place, get directions, and select it as their destination.

This makes Linksy profiles more useful for:

• Local businesses

• Restaurants and cafés

• Shops

• Salons

• Service providers

• Event locations

• Offices

• Creators with public locations

• Hotels and accommodation

• Anyone who wants to make a location easier to find

Location shortcuts are available with Linksy Plus and Max.

New contact shortcuts

Email, phone number, and Google Maps can now also be added as compact shortcut icons below the profile bio.

Previously, this area was mainly used for traditional social media platforms. Users can now choose whether they want to display their contact information as regular profile text or as smaller, quickly accessible icons.

Visitors can use these shortcuts to:

• Open an email composer

• Start a phone call

• Open a location in Google Maps

• Begin navigation to the selected destination

These advanced contact shortcuts are available with Linksy Plus and Max.
