Migrating from Linktree without losing the traffic you already have

There is no export button and you do not need one. Your bio page is a list of destinations with labels on them, and you can read all of it from a browser. That makes this the easiest migration in the category and the one people most often break, because the difficulty is entirely in the order of operations.

Copy it out first, and audit while you copy

Open the page. Write down every destination and its button text, in order.

Then click each one. In every list we have migrated, between two and five links were already dead — a product page retired, a form closed, an event from two years ago. Copying by hand is the only step where you are guaranteed to notice, which is why doing it by hand is worth the five minutes.

While you are there, decide what should not come across. A bio page with fourteen buttons is a page nobody reads to the bottom. The ones that matter are the first three.

Mock it up before you claim anything

The layout question — how many buttons, what order, which theme — is easier to answer by looking at it than by imagining it. Type your links into the preview, see the phone mock-up in each theme, and rearrange until the first three are the ones you would want a stranger to tap.

Nothing is saved and no account is needed for this part.

Then claim the name

Names of five characters or more are free and instant. Shorter ones are priced by length.

The name is one registry across our products, so it is both gc.mw/@yourname for the page and, on Pro, a yourname.gc.mw namespace for short links. Pick the one you would say out loud on a podcast, not the one that is closest to a keyword.

The order that keeps your traffic

1. 1

   Build the new page completely

   Every block, the photo, the bio text, the theme. Finish it before anyone can see it in a bio.

2. 2

   Turn the old page into a redirect

   Replace every button on your Linktree with one button pointing at gc.mw/@yourname. Anyone arriving from an old screenshot, a printed card or an unedited bio lands somewhere useful.

3. 3

   Change the bios one platform at a time

   Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, your email signature. One a day is fine; there is no benefit to doing them all in an hour.

4. 4

   Watch the referrer breakdown for a month

   Your new page records where its visitors came from. When the old domain stops appearing in that list, nobody is arriving through the old page any more.

5. 5

   Only then delete the old page

   Not before. A deleted bio page is a dead link in every screenshot anyone ever took of your profile.

What you gain that a bio tool does not have

Every link on the page is a real short link with its own analytics, so you can see which button earns its place rather than only how many people saw the page. That is the difference between "the page got 4,000 views" and "the second button got 40 taps and the fourth got 3, and the fourth is the one you cared about".

The page also carries a contact card. gc.mw/@name.vcf downloads a vCard, and gc.mw/@name.qr is a QR code for the page — which means the same identity works on a printed business card, not just in an app bio.

Thing	Moves?
Destinations and labels	Yes, by copying — five minutes
Layout and theme	No; rebuild it, and take the chance to cut buttons
Click history	No; screenshot what matters before you cancel
Your handle	Only if the name is free here; check before you plan
Followers' bookmarks	Yes, if you redirect the old page instead of deleting it

The one thing worth being slow about

Do not cancel the paid Linktree subscription the day you finish. Downgrade if you can, keep the redirect page alive, and give it a month. The cost of one more month is small; the cost of a dead link in ten thousand screenshots is not.

For the page itself — themes, blocks, the vCard and the QR — see link in bio.
