Why use wa.link on Instagram?
Instagram is a prefered channel for business to use their wa.link for 3 main reasons:
- 99% of people use Instagram in their smartphones: that way users are prone to start a conversation after clicking the link as they reach the chat directly without stoping by a web page (like clicking the link on desktop does).
- Instagram allows just 1 link in bio: this increases the Click Through Rate (CTR) of your link because it is easy for users to find and click.
- wa.link shortlinks: every link created in Walink is shortened so they are more aesthetic and appropiate for your Instagram bio.
