Linktree: A defined path of creation

You have to remember that Linktree is a configurator - an easy and intuitive tool, but a very limited one. You can navigate in it only within the boundaries set by it. Linktree provides just two options for creating a project.

 

The first option is to select a specific Theme and then complete it with your own content, like a bio or social media links. 

 

The second option is to select “Custom” in the "Themes" category. Then you create your own Theme by going through the different types like Background, Buttons, or Fonts. However, you must remember that you only have access to some of their content in the free plan.

3. Customization: Where can you really get what you want?

BOWWE: Freedom to customize the project

You can think of Micro Page as your mini website. Does that mean it can host the same things as a regular website? Yes, BOWWE doesn’t put any limits on you. Your microsite can consist of just links to your social media, but it doesn't have to. It's always a good idea to add something extra to it, something that will actually draw the attention of your audience and encourage them to, for example, read your entire offer. 

 

Your Micro Page can be freely personalized and completely customized to your needs. You can freely change the background, shapes, and colors of buttons, and fonts of individual text blocks or add various multimedia materials like photos or documents. 

 

Micro Page created in BOWWE Builder can take any form you desire. You can stay with the classic - a simple link aggregator, or you can expand it more by adding unique applications created by BOWWE such as Blog, Portfolio, Reviews, and so on, making it an attractive and engaging Micro Page.

Linktree: Basic customization 

Linktree is a configurator - so it only allows for a quick but limited design modification. You are limited to those categories that Linktree provides.

 

For example, you can choose a font (one for the entire project), change the look and color of the buttons, change the background or create a bio (maximum 80 characters). That it.

4. Add-ons: Which provides more features?

BOWWE: Rich list of custom add-ons

To the Micro Page, you can add many additional elements. BOWWE also provides its own internal applications and allows you to connect external ones. 

 

Some applications from BOWWE that you should consider when creating a Micro Page are Portfolio, Reviews, and Blog, among others. They will help you present yourself from the best possible side and keep your audience engaged for longer.

Linktree: Mostly external add-ons

Linktree offers more than a dozen add-ons to projects. Some are for social media, such as Pinterest, Facebook, etc. By adding them to your Linktree, they not only allow you to add a link but also provide a preview of your profile. 

 

Other add-ons to Linktree include adding a headline and sharing a document or a video (with a link only).

5. Analytics: Which provides the most valuable data?

BOWWE: Extensive statistics database 

From BOWWE statistics, you will find out how many people clicked on the link to your Micro Page. You will also be able to see how many people have accessed it and how often. In addition, you will have access to the Facebook Pixel that helps measure the effectiveness of advertisements based on the analysis of actions taken by users on your Micro Page.

Linktree: Helpful statistics database

The stats provided by Linktree allow for measuring visits, conversions, or link clicks, among other things. Depending on your chosen plan, you get more or less data. 

6. SEO: Which gives more online visibility?

BOWWE: Dedicated sections for advanced SEO 

Two SEO sections are available for Micro Page - "Basic SEO" and "Rocket SEO." The latter is available in higher plans. 

 

"Basic SEO" allows you to perform basic SEO activities like adding meta titles and Micro Page descriptions. On the other hand, "Rocket SEO" enables you to perform more advanced actions, which are very easy even for a person without extensive SEO knowledge. In this section, you will find the settings from "Basic SEO" and the possibility to set a canonical URL, add additional meta tags, and much more.

Linktree: Section for basic SEO activities

Linktree only allows you to perform basic SEO actions, such as adding a meta title and description. However, these features are only available on the paid plan.

7. Free plans: Where do you get much more?
