Link in bio: one page for the single link you get
A link-in-bio page is a landing page holding every link you want to share, used where a platform allows only one. What belongs on it, what does not, and how gc.mw builds one.

A link-in-bio page is a small landing page that holds every link you want to share, used on platforms that allow exactly one clickable URL in a profile.
Why it exists at all
Instagram, TikTok and X give a profile one link. Everything a creator or a business wants to point at — current campaign, shop, booking form, newsletter, contact details — has to fit through it. Editing the profile every time the priority changes is slow and loses the audience that saw the old one.
The trade is real, and worth naming: you are adding a hop between an interested person and the thing they want. A page with fourteen buttons converts worse than a profile linking straight to the one thing that matters this week. Use the page when the answer genuinely is "it depends what you came for".
How gc.mw builds one
Claim a name once and the page lives at gc.mw/@name, rendering your card in its own template inside one of
six page themes. The page has two companions on the same name: gc.mw/@name.vcf downloads a contact file,
and gc.mw/@name.qr is the QR image for the page — both work from printed material without a second tool.
Underneath, every page owns a permanent short code. QR codes printed on a card encode that code rather than the handle, so renaming yourself does not invalidate anything already in circulation, and the old handle answers with a permanent redirect to the new one while its hold lasts.
Names of five characters and up are free; shorter ones are priced by length. The subdomain surface,
name.gc.mw, needs Pro; the page does not. Free pages carry a small "Made with gc.mw" pill at the top; paid
plans switch it off. The "Powered by Growcord" credit in the footer stays either way.
What to put on it
Three to five blocks, ordered by what you want most. The thing that changes weekly at the top. Contact details at the bottom, as a vCard rather than a phone number people have to retype.
Example
gc.mw/@growcord: current launch, pricing, contact card, one social row. Four blocks, four sets of numbers,
and the printed card carries the QR of the same page.
Mock a page up before claiming anything with the link-in-bio preview.
Questions people ask
What is the address of a gc.mw bio page?
gc.mw/@yourname. The same name gives you gc.mw/@name.vcf for a downloadable contact file and gc.mw/@name.qr for the page's QR code. Names of five characters or more are free; shorter ones are priced by length.
Do bio pages get their own analytics?
Yes, through the same pipeline as a click. A page view is recorded as a pageview event attributed to the page's permanent short link, so views sit next to link clicks with the same country, referrer and device breakdowns. Crawlers are not recorded.
