Create an Instagram links page with Divi (no extensions or Linktree)

Create a Instagram links page is so simple to do when using a page builder such as Divi and is in possession of a site. No need for additional extensions or third party services such as Linktree !

In this quick tutorial, you will see that it is ultra simple and you can build this page in just a few minutes... I have also prepared a video version!

1 – What is an Instagram link page?

The only clickable link fromInstagram is that placed in the bio of your profile. If you use Instagram, you know it's pretty frustrating. The users then imagined offering the followers a landing page (Landing Page) to indicate several useful links and avoid losing user in pages not necessarily optimized.

Some people send users to sales pages, to an online shop, to the home of their site or to another social network... And others choose to use third-party services such as Linktree…

2 - Why use Linktree?

Frankly, I always wondered?

In fact, yes, I imagine that Instagram users who do not have a website can easily use a service such as Linktree to "dispatch" followers. But in this case, if they don't have a website, what can Linktree be used for apart from returning followers to other social profiles?

At the same time, this type of service is very widespread, there is not only a Linktree other services such as Lnk.bio, Shorby or Linkin.bio by Later, propose exactly the same things.

These are utilities that have been proven for years but have several disadvantages:

• The design is limited.
• No white mark in free version in most cases.
• The paid versions spend money unnecessarily.
• You are losing traffic: it is better to send your Instagram followers to your site rather than to a third party site!

So you understand, if you have your own site, no need for this type of services to Create your Instagram links page. There are other easier solutions...

3 – Why use a WordPress extension for your Bio Instagram?

Indeed, there are other alternatives for WordPress: extensions for the links of organic Instagram.

As you can see from this screenshot, there are a few choices:

• Bio Links
• WP MyLinks
• WP Bio Links
• Linky
• WP Link Bio
• Social Link Pages

I tested myself Linky which is a 100% free French extension and offers a sober and pleasant visual:

This type of extension is perfect in case the theme used on your WordPress site is not flexible enough or that it does not allow delete header and/or footer. But if you use Divi, you can you pass from an additional extension.

4 - Create an Instagram link page with Divi

Here's how to do this type of landing page for Instagram In just a few minutes:

4.1 – Build the Instagram link page in "mobile first"

First of all, go to the tab Page > Add. In Page attributes, be sure to choose Blank Page, this removes the header and footer from your site. In this way, Instagram user will not need to scatter.

Note that page attributes are only available for pages (not for articles).

Then activate the Divi Builder.

and social-instagram being a social network only visited on mobile, it is interesting to build your link page in "mobile first". This means that you first run the mobile version before switching to other versions (desktop and tablet):

1. Open the Visual Builder settings (at the bottom of the page) and activate the phone view.
2. Add a blue section, a row (green) and possibly an Image module to display your logo. Add a gradient color in the background section (Tab Content > Background parameters of the section).
3. Add a new row inside this section.

4.2 - Build the body of the page with Visual Builder

In this new row, you can add modules to build your Instagram link page :

4. Insert a text module, such as "discover my services".
5. Add Background Color
6. Add the link (URL) to the module and not to the text itself (Content > Link tab)
7. In the Style tab, possibly add margins to enlarge the module
8. Add rounded corners if necessary
9. And why not a shadow box...

10. When your text module is "perfect", duplicate it as many times as you need
11. Add a final section at the bottom of the page
12. Then insert a Follow us module on social networks
13. Add all social media of your choice
14. Change the colors of the pictos and align the module.

4.3 – Make some optimizations for the Desktop version

With the mobile version finished, you just have to make some adjustments for the Desktop and Tablette versions, in case an Internet user falls on this page.

15. Open the Visual Builder settings and activate the office view.

17. Add about 300px left and right margin for Desktop version only
18. Check that Mobile and Tablet margins are 0px

4.4 – Check mobile visual rendering

When your Instagram link page is finished, publish it and check its rendering in a mobile version. In the screenshot below, you can compare an Instagram landing page made with Linktree and the one made using this tutorial.

You will find the demo here or visit my own link page offered in my bio Instagram.

Tip SEO Friendly : do not index this page in search engines (Noindex). You can do this easily with an extension like Yoast or SEOPress.

Indeed, a link page such as this one has no interest in being indexed in Google. It would do more harm than good to your SEO, since its content is considered "poor".

Finally, get the URL from this page and place it in your bio Instagram, this will be the first page your followers will visit.
