How to switchfrom Linktree to Hiyaly

Open your current Linktree page in one tab and make a quick list of what's on it: every link, its title, any headers, and the social icons you show. Note which links are scheduled or only shown for a while, since you'll want to set those up again.

If you use Linktree's analytics, export or screenshot what you need before you move. Stats don't move between tools, so it's worth having a record of where you started.

• Every link and its title
• Headers or groups of links
• Social icons and where they point
• Any email sign-up or contact form you use
• Your profile photo and bio text

There are two ways to do this. The quick way is to let Hiya set your page up from your socials. Tell it where you post (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or X) and it brings in your photo, bio and the links you share, then picks a theme to match your feed.

The careful way is to add each link by hand from your list. This takes a few minutes for most pages and lets you rewrite titles as you go. Many people do both: let Hiya do the first pass, then fill the gaps from the list.

Groups of links become collections. A collection is a heading with links under it, like Shop, Listen or Book me. Schedules can be set on each link, with a date to show it and a date to hide it.

This is a good moment to tidy up. Pages grow over time and old links pile up. If a link hasn't been tapped in months, leave it out. Put your most important link at the top and think about making it a featured link so it shows larger.

Rewrite titles while you're at it. "Click here" or "New!" says little. A title that names the thing, like "Spring menu" or "Book a 30-minute call", tells people what they'll get before they tap.

Pick a theme in the design tab, then adjust colours and fonts to match your brand or feed. If you had a custom background before, you can use an image wallpaper. You can also remove Hiyaly branding from the page.

Use the same profile photo you use on your socials. People recognise a face or logo faster than a name, and it tells them they've landed in the right place.

If you collected emails before, add an email signup block. Sign-ups show up in your Audience, where you can search them and export a CSV. You can also connect Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Kit, beehiiv, Flodesk or Google Sheets so new sign-ups go straight there.

If people used to contact you through your page, turn on messages. Visitors leave their name, email and a note, and it lands in your Messages.

Preview the page on your phone before it goes live. Tap every link. Make sure videos play, codes copy and nothing points at an old URL. Ask a friend to try it too, because they'll notice things you've stopped seeing.

When it looks right, pick Pro to publish it. The first 14 days are free, monthly or yearly, with no card needed. Then it's $8 a month per page, or $72 a year if you pay yearly.

Now replace your old link with your new hiyaly.com address. Start with the bios that get the most traffic, then work down the list. It's easy to forget places you set up years ago, so take your time.

• Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Threads and any other profiles
• Your email signature and newsletter footer
• Your website, if it links to your old page
• Pinned posts, video descriptions and highlights
• Business cards, flyers, menus and packaging with a QR code

Don't delete your old page the day you switch. Old posts, printed QR codes and saved bookmarks may still point to it. Keep it up until you've swapped every place it's linked. You could also add a link on the old page that points to your new one, so anyone who lands there can find you.

After a few weeks, check your new analytics to see where clicks come from. When the old page is quiet, you can close it.
