Link in bio for small business: a free digital business card

Why a link in bio page makes a good digital business card

A digital business card is simply a web page with your contact details that people can open on their phone and save. Small businesses search for one because paper cards run out, get lost and cannot be updated. A link in bio page does the same job and more:

• One tap to save you. The Save contact block downloads a vCard, so your shop lands in the customer's contacts with your name, number, email and address.
• It works where customers already are. The same link goes in your Instagram bio, your WhatsApp Business profile, your Google listing and your email signature.
• It is always current. New number, new timings, new menu? Edit once and every place that shares your link is up to date.
• It does things a card cannot. Customers can chat on WhatsApp, get directions, see prices and pay you by UPI from the same page.

Recommended small business page setup

Start with this core, top to bottom, then add the extras for your type of business below:

1. Header with your logo, business name and one line: what you do and where.
2. Save contact (vCard) as the first button, labelled “Save our number”.
3. WhatsApp chat with a prefilled message such as “Hi, I would like to book / order…”.
4. Business hours, including your weekly off day.
5. Map with directions to your door.
6. Price list for your menu, services or bestsellers.
7. UPI payment for advances, bills or deposits.
8. Testimonial (Pro) with two or three real customer reviews.
9. Social icons for Instagram, Facebook and your Google listing.

For a café or restaurant

Put the Price list (your menu) second, add an Image grid of your best dishes, and add link buttons to the delivery apps you use. The Café template has this layout ready. A Pro Coupon block (“10% off your first visit”) gives Instagram followers a reason to walk in.

For a salon or clinic

Use the Price list for services and durations. With Pro, add a Booking block that embeds your Calendly or Cal.com calendar, and a Before/after image compare for your best work.

For a shop or home business

Lead with WhatsApp ordering and an Image grid of products, then link to your catalogue. A Feedback block (free star rating) tells you how customers felt about their order.

How to set up your digital business card, step by step

1. Create your free page with your business name, for example biolinko.me/chaiandco.
2. Start from the Café template or a blank page, then add the core blocks above.
3. Fill in the Save contact block with the details you want customers to store. Check it by tapping it on your own phone.
4. Set your hours and paste your address into the Map block.
5. Pick one of the 8 free themes close to your brand colours.
6. Share the link everywhere: your Instagram bio, the website field of your WhatsApp Business profile, your Google Business Profile, and your email signature (the free Email Signature Generator helps).
7. Print the address on bills, bags and your shop board. Short names like biolinko.me/chaiandco are easy to type.
8. Keep it current. Change your hours for festivals, add new dishes or services, and update prices the same day. Your analytics show which buttons customers tap, so move the popular ones up.

A digital business card for Indian businesses

Most digital card tools are built for the US and Europe. In India, customers want to chat on WhatsApp and pay by UPI, and those are both free blocks on Biolinko. The UPI payment block opens GPay, PhonePe or Paytm with your UPI ID and a fixed or open amount. Need a call, SMS or UPI link for somewhere else? The free Contact Link Generator makes one.

The Free plan costs nothing, forever, with no card. If you want reviews, coupons, bookings or to remove the small Biolinko badge, Pro is ₹299/month or ₹2,988/year in India ($5/month elsewhere), with a full refund within 14 days of your first Pro payment.

What this is not

• Not an NFC or printed card service. Biolinko gives you the page, not physical cards.
• No QR code generator. If you want a QR code on your counter, any QR generator pointed at your page address will work.
• No custom domain. Your page lives at biolinko.me/yourname. If you need your own domain and a multi-page website, a website builder is the better choice.
• No shopping cart. For a full online store with a cart, use a store builder and link to it from your page.
• No food ordering system. Restaurants that take delivery orders should link to the delivery apps they are listed on, or take orders over WhatsApp.
