Switch from Bio.Sites to Linkero: Step-by-Step Guide (2026)

Switching from Bio.Sites to Linkero takes about 15 minutes. You don't lose followers. You don't break any of your links. You don't need any technical skills.

The creators making this move usually want one of a few things Bio.Sites can't ship: a real custom domain on the page itself (Bio.Sites only forwards), a page without the platform's branding, lead forms that reach their own tools, or pixel tracking for paid traffic. If any of those match what you're after, this is the exact migration.

Why People Switch from Bio.Sites to Linkero

Bio.Sites is a solid free product. Squarespace shipped real polish on the editor, the templates, and the analytics dashboard. For a solo creator with one page and no plans to scale, it's the right call.

The friction shows up when you outgrow it:

1. You need a custom domain on the page itself. Bio.Sites supports custom domain forwarding, but the visible URL stays bio.site/yourhandle. The address bar tells the truth.
2. You want the platform's branding off the page. Bio.Sites pages carry Squarespace branding. Linkero hides its own branding on every plan.
3. Your leads need to reach your own tools. Bio.Sites keeps lead-capture data inside Squarespace. Linkero's Form block exports replies and can send them by email or webhook (see the pricing page for which plan includes those).
4. You run paid traffic. Linkero connects GA4, Meta Pixel, and TikTok Pixel on every plan.
5. Squarespace funnel fatigue. Bio.Sites's upgrade path is a full Squarespace website. If you don't want your bio tool nudging you into a website plan you weren't shopping for, an indie tool gets out of the way.

None of these are knocks on Bio.Sites. They're the structural limits of a free product whose role inside Squarespace is to be a front door, not the destination. When the front door isn't enough anymore, you move.

Before You Start

A five-minute prep step saves the rebuild from getting messy:

• Take a screenshot of your live Bio.Sites page (visual reference for the rebuild)
• Write down your link titles and URLs in order (Bio.Sites has no export, so this is manual)
• Note your color theme, font, and any background image you want to recreate
• If you accept payments on Bio.Sites: list your active Stripe or PayPal products so commerce blocks can be rebuilt fast
• If you have a custom domain forwarded to Bio.Sites: have your registrar login handy, you'll repoint DNS later

Step 1: Audit Your Bio.Sites Page (5 min)

Open the Bio.Sites dashboard at biosites.com and walk down your page block by block. Write down every block type, in order. Bio.Sites ships link blocks, product links (Stripe and PayPal), tip jar, 1:1 appointment booking, lead capture (email and phone), text headers, image gallery, and social embeds.

The migration is essentially "rebuild this exact list in Linkero." The faster you make the inventory now, the less you'll second-guess during the rebuild.

Step 2: Create a Linkero Account (1 min)

Go to linke.ro and click Create your page. The sign-up flow is short:

1. Enter your email and create a password
2. Pick a username (try to match your Bio.Sites handle if it's free)
3. Skip or complete the brief onboarding to land in the editor

Linkero has no free plan. You can build, customize, and preview your whole page before paying, and publishing it live needs a paid plan, billed monthly or yearly. Pricing is on the pricing page so it stays current, including which plan includes a custom domain.

Step 3: Rebuild Your Page in Linkero (5 min)

Linkero uses a drag-and-drop block editor. Pull blocks in one at a time, matching the order from your Bio.Sites audit.

For each block:

1. Click Add block in the Linkero editor
2. Pick the closest block type from Linkero's library (buttons, social icons, embeds, text, photo, video, audio, form, map, accordion for FAQs, and more). The catalog covers most of what Bio.Sites ships, with one big exception: there is no checkout, so sales go through a link to a checkout you run elsewhere.
3. Drop the title, URL, or content from your audit
4. Drag the block into position

A few specific mappings:

• Bio.Sites link blocks → Linkero Button blocks
• Bio.Sites Stripe product blocks → a Linkero Button block pointing at a Stripe Payment Link for each product. Same Stripe account, same products; Linkero takes no cut of anything you sell.
• Bio.Sites tip jar → a Button block pointing at a Stripe or PayPal payment link
• Bio.Sites 1:1 appointments → a Button block linking to your booker (Cal.com, Calendly, or similar)
• Bio.Sites email or phone capture → Linkero Form block

Style the page to match: set your color theme, choose a font, drop in your avatar. If your Bio.Sites page leaned on a Squarespace-style template, Linkero's themes get you a near match in a few minutes.

Step 4: Set Up Your Custom Domain (3 min)

This is the reason most readers are migrating, so it's worth doing carefully.

In Bio.Sites, the visible URL on your page stays bio.site/yourhandle even if you point a domain at it. Linkero hosts the page on your domain directly, for example links.yourbrand.com. Each page can have one custom domain.

To wire it up:

1. Open your Linkero page settings and go to the Domain section
2. Add your custom domain (e.g., links.yourbrand.com)
3. Copy the CNAME (or A) record Linkero shows you
4. Open your registrar (Namecheap, Cloudflare, Squarespace Domains, whoever holds the domain) and paste the record into your DNS settings
5. Save and wait 5–30 minutes for DNS to propagate

If you were previously forwarding a custom domain to Bio.Sites, point that same domain at Linkero instead. The forward stops, the direct hosting takes over, and the URL bar shows your brand.

Check the pricing page for which plan includes a custom domain before you get to this step.

Step 5: Update Your Bio URLs Across Platforms (2 min)

Wherever you currently link to bio.site/yourhandle, swap in the new Linkero URL (or your custom domain if you set one up):

• Instagram: Settings → Edit Profile → Website
• TikTok: Profile → Edit Profile → Website
• X (Twitter): Profile → Edit Profile → Website
• LinkedIn: Profile → Contact Info → Website
• Pinterest: Settings → Edit Profile → Website
• YouTube: Channel Customization → Links

This is the only step that actually affects your followers. They follow your social profiles, not your bio link, so updating the website field on each platform is the entire handoff.

Step 6: Run Both in Parallel for 2–4 Weeks

Don't delete your Bio.Sites page on day one. Keep it live for a couple of weeks while:

• All your social platforms slowly push traffic to the new URL (some apps cache profile data)
• Any third-party widgets or embeds you have pointing at the old URL get caught and updated
• You confirm Linkero analytics are tracking correctly

After 2–4 weeks, when the new page is doing all the work, you can close the Bio.Sites page, or just leave it dormant. Bio.Sites is free, so there's no plan to cancel and no penalty for leaving the account in place.

What About Analytics?

Bio.Sites's analytics history doesn't transfer. No bio-link platform's does, because the data lives in their system, keyed to their URLs. You're starting a fresh analytics stream the day Linkero takes over.

If signup attribution or paid-traffic tracking matters to you, set up Linkero's analytics (and any optional pixels: GA4, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, on every plan) before repointing your social profiles. That way, the first click after the switch is already counted. For a broader playbook, see the link in bio analytics guide.

What About SEO?

If your Bio.Sites page was indexed at bio.site/yourhandle, that traffic was building SEO equity on Squarespace's domain, not yours. Moving to Linkero on a custom domain you own means future link equity accrues to your brand instead.

For most creators, this matters less than the indexed-page numbers suggest. Bio link pages rarely rank for anything beyond brand-name queries. But for brands, owning the URL is part of the point.

What If I Have Commerce on Bio.Sites?

Nothing in your Stripe account moves. Your products, prices, and payouts stay exactly where they are. What changes is where the checkout happens: Linkero has no built-in checkout, so the buyer taps a button on your page and pays on Stripe's (or PayPal's) own checkout.

The migration is:

1. In Stripe, create a Payment Link for each active product
2. In Linkero, add a Button block for each product, pointing at its Payment Link
3. Test one checkout end-to-end before flipping bio URLs

PayPal works the same way for tip jars and one-off payments. Neither Bio.Sites nor Linkero adds a platform cut on top of the processor's standard fee, so there's no migration tax on transactions. If selling is most of what your page does, keep in mind the extra hop to the checkout.

FAQ

Can I export my Bio.Sites page? No. Bio.Sites doesn't ship an export. The migration is manual, same as leaving Linktree. The 5-minute audit step covers it.

Will I lose followers? No. Followers follow your social profiles, not your bio link. Updating the website field on each platform is the entire handoff.

Does Bio.Sites refund anything? Bio.Sites is 100% free, so there's nothing to refund and nothing to cancel.

How long does this take? About 15 minutes for a typical page with 5–15 blocks. Pages with heavy commerce or appointment setups can take 30–45 minutes because there's more to wire up.

Will my custom domain transfer? If you were forwarding a domain to bio.site, log into your registrar and repoint the DNS record at Linkero. The domain itself doesn't move; only the destination does.

What about my Stripe products? They stay in your Stripe account. You link to them from Linkero Button blocks through Stripe Payment Links.

Can I keep Bio.Sites running too? Yes. Bio.Sites is free, so there's no cost to leaving the account live. Some creators run both in parallel for a month before fully retiring the old page.
