Add a Links Block to your Beacons page and customize each link — layouts, headlines, animations, scheduling, countdowns, redirects, and click analytics.

Quick answer: A Links Block turns your bio into a list of clickable buttons that send visitors to your website, socials, products, or anything else you want to promote. Add one from + Add Block > Links, then customize each individual link with its own layout, headline, animation, schedule, countdown, or redirect.

Unlike a basic link-in-bio list, every link inside a Beacons Links Block can be individually scheduled, put on a countdown, animated, set to instantly redirect page visitors straight to it, and tracked with its own click analytics — no separate app or integration required, and headlines/descriptions can be AI-generated per link.

Go to My Page | Beacons, click + Add Block, then select Links.

Beacons gives you several Links Layouts to choose from — feel free to click through them and see which fits your page's style. Two quick tips:

• Add an image or icon to each link. Links with visuals get noticeably more clicks than plain text links.

• Turn on Link Outline for better visibility, especially on busy or colorful page themes.

If you're using Classic mode, you can also make individual links collapsible.

Yes — each link can have its own headline and description, and you can generate both with AI if you'd rather not write them yourself. Under the Settings tab, you can also choose whether your Links Block displays fully expanded or collapses into a drop-down menu, which is useful if you're linking to a lot of destinations and want to keep the page short.

Note: collapsing applies to the whole Links Block as one unit — you can't create separate named sub-groups of links that each collapse independently within a single block. If you want distinct sections (e.g., "Free Resources" vs. "Follow Me"), use separate Links Blocks and give each its own headline.

Once a link is added, click into it to see the full set of customization options below.

Click the star icon on any link to add an animation. This is a simple way to draw the eye to your most important link — a new drop, a limited-time offer, or whatever you most want visitors to click first.

Click the calendar icon to schedule a link's visibility. This is useful for time-boxed content — a link that shouldn't go live until a launch date, or one that should automatically disappear once an offer ends. You can:

• Set a future date and time for the link to appear

• Schedule a date and time for the link to be hidden

Click the timer icon to set a countdown. Visitors will see a live countdown on the link button itself, and the link stays inactive (clicking does nothing) until the timer runs out. This works well for pre-orders, waitlists, or drops you want to build anticipation around.

Yes, with a Pro plan. Turning on Link Redirect for a link means that during the dates you set, anyone who visits your Beacons page is forwarded straight to that link's destination — instead of landing on your full page. Set a Start on and End on date/time to control exactly when the redirect is active.

Only one Link Redirect can be active at a time. If you try to turn it on for a second link while one is already running, Beacons will tell you which link currently has it (by name) and ask you to turn that one off first.

This is useful when you have one link that matters most for a limited window — a big drop, a time-sensitive announcement — and you want every page visitor to land on it directly rather than needing to scroll and find it.

Every link has built-in analytics, so you can see clicks per link and track which of your links are actually converting visitors. Use this to figure out what's working — if one link is consistently outperforming the rest, that's a signal to feature it more prominently or animate it.

Click the 3 dots (More Options) on any link to:

• Move the link up or down

• Open the link in a new tab

• Delete the link

The toggle on the far right of each link hides or shows that specific link without deleting it.

How is a Links Block different from a basic link-in-bio list?

Each link in a Links Block can be individually scheduled, given a countdown timer, animated, and tracked with its own click analytics — plus, on Pro, one link at a time can be set to instantly redirect every page visitor straight to it for a set date range. All built in, without a separate app or integration. Headlines and descriptions can also be AI-generated per link.

What's the difference between a Links Block and a Text Block?

A Links Block creates clickable buttons that send visitors somewhere else. A Text Block is for on-page writing that doesn't need to link anywhere — a bio blurb, an announcement, or context around your links.

Can I change how my whole page looks, not just one Links Block?

Yes — page-wide styling (block shape, fonts, colors, themes) is controlled separately in Design your Page, and applies across all your blocks, including Links.

Do scheduled or countdown links affect my analytics?

No — analytics track actual clicks only. A link that's scheduled to appear later or is counting down simply won't register clicks until it's active and clickable.
