QR code link in bio: what to put first (and what to avoid)
How to tailor a link-in-bio page for QR code: 3 useful sections, one concrete scenario (source → link order), 3 common mistakes, and a factual 3-step setup.
Proof demo: source switch → different order
Same URL, but a different rendering based on where the visitor comes from. Configure once. Korli applies the rest automatically.
QR code context: offline → mobile: speed + one obvious action
- A QR code visitor arrives with a specific intent—help them decide in one click.
- Your first link should answer “what should I do next?”
- Keep 1 primary action + 1 secondary resource (not more).
Example link hierarchy (for QR code)
- #1: Menu / booking / contact
- #2: an offer/resource aligned with QR code intent
- #3: subscription (newsletter) or proof (testimonials)
Measure what works for QR code (don’t guess)
- Look at clicks per link and per source—QR code deserves its own view.
- Change one thing at a time, otherwise you can’t attribute outcomes.
- If your top link CTR is low, it’s often an intent mismatch.
Concrete example
Korli scenario: QR code visitor → dedicated link order
- Visitor comes from QR code: Korli sets “Menu / booking / contact” as #1.
- If they come from YouTube: Korli promotes “Latest video / playlist” as #1.
- If they come from a newsletter: Korli promotes “Current offer” as #1.
How it works (3 steps)
- Add your links and define the primary action for QR code.
- Set a Smart Rule “source = QR code” → tailored order/visibility.
- Share one URL: Korli applies the right variant automatically.
Common mistakes
- Using a generic link as #1 even though QR code visitors expect context.
- Listing too many links (people scroll and bounce).
- Not checking clicks by source (optimizing blind).
FAQ
What should be the first link for QR code?
The link that matches the dominant QR code intent (latest content, proof, or offer). Quick test: “if they click once, is it useful?”.
How many links should I add?
There’s no perfect number, but there is a hierarchy: one primary action, one or two secondary actions, and everything else as a second layer (or per-source variants).
How do I avoid SEO cannibalization?
This page stays specific to QR code. Comparisons stay “table + verdict”, and the hub stays general.
