Setting up your link page (link in bio)
What is the link page?
The link page is one shareable page at <your-domain>/link with your most important buttons: book, WhatsApp, Swing Check, your offer, about you and your gift card, plus your own links and your socials. You put that single address in your Instagram bio or under your YouTube videos.
Which buttons are on it?
At the top is a fixed set of buttons, in this order. The buttons are shown to your clients, so their texts are on the page in Dutch, with the English meaning here in brackets:
- Boek een golfles (book a golf lesson), the green main button.
- WhatsApp. Opens WhatsApp with the message "Hoi, ik wil graag een golfles boeken" (hi, I would like to book a golf lesson). Only if you have set a phone number.
- Gratis Swing Check (free Swing Check).
- Coaching aanbod (coaching offer).
- Over your first name (about you).
- Cadeaubon (gift card).
On some sites there is a featured link directly below Boek een golfles that Golfly has set up for you. You cannot change, switch off or rearrange the fixed buttons and their texts. Below them come your own links, and at the very bottom your socials. Under your name it automatically says "PGA Teaching Pro" with your club and town after it.
How do you set up the link page?
- Go to Admin → Promotion, Link page tab. At the top you see four counters (Socials, Own links, Photo, Trust label) and the link View live.
- Under Photo, upload an image of at most 5 MB. A square photo works best. The upload happens straight away. The photo replaces your logo or initials at the top and is also used on your site, in your bio and in client emails.
- Under Trust label, fill in a Rating (0 to 5) and Number of golfers. If you fill in only one, the line "x golfers gecoacht" (x golfers coached) is left out.
- Under Socials, fill in the addresses of the platforms you want to show.
- Under Own links, add extra buttons.
- Click Save. Your changes are on your link page straight away.
Switching socials on and off
You can fill in six platforms: Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook and your own website. A platform only appears if you fill in an address; empty is hidden.
If you type an address without https://, for example instagram.com/your-name, Golfly completes it. If an address is not right, you see "Enter a valid URL" at the field and Save refuses with "Check the fields".
Adding and ordering your own links
- Under Own links, click Add link. Maximum 10.
- Fill in a Label (required, at most 80 characters), a URL (required) and optionally a Description (at most 160 characters) that appears under the link.
- Move a link with the up and down arrows.
- Delete a link with the bin icon.
- Click Save.
Your own links open in a new tab. If a text is too long, you only see "Could not save"; shorten the text then.
Sharing your link
Click View live to see your page. Copy the address <your-domain>/link and paste it into your Instagram bio or YouTube description. The page is set to noindex, so search engines do not include it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I hide or rearrange the fixed buttons?
No. You can only order your own links, and you switch socials on or off by filling them in or leaving them empty.
Why do I not see the WhatsApp button?
No phone number has been set for your site. Fill in your number under Admin → Site settings.
Can I see how often my links are clicked?
No. Golfly does measure the clicks, but does not show them anywhere in your admin.
