Understanding your Insights

This guide will walk you through the Insights features and the data analytics available, helping you make the most of your Linktree.

Updated this week

The Insights page in your Linktree admin provides insights into the performance of your Linktree. The more you share, promote, and create campaigns with your Linktree, the more views and clicks you'll receive on your links.


Key Definitions

Before diving into the analytics, let’s go over some key terms you'll encounter:

  • Views: The number of times your Linktree profile has been accessed by visitors.

  • Unique Views: The number of distinct visitors who have viewed your Linktree, excluding repeat visits from the same person.

  • Clicks: The count of times visitors have clicked on any of your links.

  • Unique Clicks: The number of distinct visitors who have clicked on your links, counting each person only once regardless of how many times they click.

  • Click Rate: The percentage of views that resulted in clicks. This is determined by dividing the total number of clicks by the total number of views your profile has received. For example, if your profile has 1,000 clicks and 2,000 views, your click rate would be 50%. This is calculated by dividing 1,000 by 2,000 and then multiplying by 100.

  • Subscribers: Visitors who have signed up to receive updates or notifications through your Linktree using the Subscribe feature.

  • Sources: Channels or platforms (e.g., direct, social media, search engines) that visitors used to find your Linktree.


Insights walkthrough

The Insights page is divided into several sections, each offering valuable insights about how your audience interacts with your Linktree profile:


Lifetime Metrics

At the top of your Insights page, you'll find the Lifetime performance of your key metrics, including Views, Clicks, Click Rate, and Subscribers.

These metrics provide a comprehensive snapshot of your profile's overall performance throughout the life of your Linktree.


Custom Date Range

Our date range selector allows you to customize the time period you wish to analyze your Linktree performance, depending on your plan:

  • Free Plan: Access analytics for the last 28 days.

  • Starter Plan: Access analytics for the last 90 days.

  • Pro Plan: Access analytics for the last 365 days.

  • Premium Plan: Access analytics for the entire lifetime of your Linktree.

This date range will be applied to every graph on the analytics page, outlined below.


Activity

The Activity section provides a detailed breakdown of your audience's engagement over time. Use the graph to identify trends in your views and clicks. For example, you might notice a spike in activity after posting new content. This helps you understand what resonates with your audience and when they are most active.

💡 Tip: Click rate is a key metric to keep an eye on. If you see your Click rate dropping - it's time to change things in your Linktree. Check out our article on Analytics best practices for recommendations on how to do so.

Audience

The Audience section helps you understand more about your visitors including their interests and where they are coming from. It includes:

  • Interests (Available on Pro and Premium plans)
    Discover what your audience cares about most, based on the links they’ve tapped across your Linktree—and others. We categorize every link, then surface the top categories your visitors are most engaged with, so you can tailor your content to match.

    • Only available if you’ve had more than 100 unique visitors in the last 90 days.

    • The data in this report is an indicator of categorical audience interest, but it alone does not guarantee the viability of any business opportunity. Many external factors contribute to the feasibility of any new endeavor.

These insights enable you to refine your content strategy and target your audience more effectively.


Subscribers

Track your subscriber growth in the Subscribers section. Here, you can see new subscriber counts in Daily, Weekly or Monthly views. Switch to the Notifications tab to see how your subscriber notifications are performing with number of notifications sent and clicks from notifications.

📝 Note: Subscribers who share their email addresses or phone number with you will be included in the CSV file. If you upgrade to a Pro or Premium plan from Free, we’ll provide you with the emails of subscribers from the last three months.
