Updated over 2 months ago

We know that it’s hard to manage and organize all of your outbound links for your Instagram brands and clients. That’s why at HeyOrca, you can use Bio Link so you can have a landing page where all of your links relating to your content are in one place!

Your posts can now be associated with outbound links so that your followers can click through your posts and access the content you’ve referenced to your page.

The Bio Link is available for both Professional Accounts (Business and Creator) and Personal Instagram accounts!
