How to embed Moving from Linktree to your own site on your website
Moving from Linktree to your own site is replacing a link-in-bio page with a real website, or connecting the two, used by anyone using Linktree as their only web presence. Here's how to put it on your own website, which embed option to pick, and what goes wrong.
Quick answer
Get the code from your own site — the goal here is to stop needing the link-in-bio page as your homepage. For most people the right choice is the own links page — a simple links page on your own domain, which does everything Linktree does and builds your own site's authority. Paste it into a code or embed block on your site — not a plain text field — then place it beside your main call to action and test the whole flow on a phone before relying on it.

| Option | What it does |
|---|---|

Step-by-step
- 1
Find the code or link in your account
Moving from Linktree to your own site keeps this in your own site — the goal here is to stop needing the link-in-bio page as your homepage. Copy what you need before touching your website — most of the time people lose is spent hunting for the snippet, not installing it.

Pick the right option for the job
The table above is the decision. Own links page: A simple links page on your own domain, which does everything Linktree does and builds your own site's authority. Keep Linktree, add a site: Linktree in the bio pointing to your website as its first link, during a transition. Choosing before you paste saves rebuilding the section later.

Paste it into a code or embed block
This needs an HTML, code or embed block — not a plain text field, where the code will simply appear as text on your page. On Adviita, ask the AI editor to add an embed section and drop the code in. On WordPress use a Custom HTML block, on Squarespace a Code block (Business plan or above), and on Wix an Embed HTML element.

Put it where the decision happens
Embedded social content is decoration unless it earns its place — it costs page speed, so make it count. A widget three scrolls down does a fraction of the work of the same widget beside your main call to action. Decide what the page is for, then place it at the point the visitor is deciding.

Check it on an actual phone
Most visitors to a small business website arrive on a phone, and embeds are where mobile layouts break. Open your live site on your own phone and confirm it loads, fits the screen without sideways scrolling, and does not push your contact button out of view. Third-party embeds are also the most common cause of a slow page, so if it noticeably delays loading, consider a plain link instead.

Test it end to end before you rely on it
Run through the whole flow yourself as a customer would — confirm it renders and links correctly — and confirm what should happen actually happens. Broken embeds fail silently, and the first person to notice is usually a customer who has already given up.
Tips & best practices
- ▸A Linktree page builds Linktree's search presence, not yours. Nothing you do there helps you rank.
- ▸Your own domain in a bio is a credibility signal that a linktr.ee URL is not.
- ▸If you switch, keep the Linktree live for a while pointing at your site — followers have it saved and shared.
- ▸Re-test the embed after any change to your site, your plan, or the connected account — third-party widgets break quietly and nothing tells you.
Common questions
Is Linktree bad for SEO?
+−
It is not harmful, but it does nothing for you. A Linktree page lives on Linktree's domain, so any authority it builds belongs to them. A links page on your own domain does the same job for visitors while building your site's search presence and letting you rank for your own name and services.
Should I replace Linktree with my own website?
+−
If you sell anything, yes. Your own domain in a bio looks more credible, you control the design entirely, you can track what people actually click, and the content can rank in Google. Keep the Linktree live for a while pointing at your new site, because followers have the old link saved.
Do I need a developer to add Moving from Linktree to your own site to my site?
+−
No. Every option here is copy and paste into a code or embed block, which every mainstream website builder provides. The only genuine blocker is a builder or plan that does not allow custom code at all — Squarespace, for instance, requires a Business plan or above for code blocks.
Will adding Moving from Linktree to your own site slow down my website?
+−
Any third-party embed has some cost, because it loads code from another company's servers. One is usually unnoticeable; four or five on the same page is where small business sites become visibly slow. If page speed matters to you, prefer a plain link over a script wherever the option exists, and keep embeds to the pages that genuinely need them.
