So, if you’re in need of having a link in your bio then worry not because we have you covered. Here is our step by step guide for you on how to add a clickable website link in your TikTok bio.
Reason why there is no website option on your TikTok
TikTok for all intends and purposes with its large user base has now turned into a place much more than for people to have fun. People, creators and businesses have now started tapping the platform’s large audience to increase their reach and advertise their goods and services.
Hence, to cater to their special needs TikTok offers its users a choice to select between two types of accounts: personal and business account. The business account is meant for Brands or Businesses that need special tools and references to study various aspects of their business on the platform. These tools are only specially available on business accounts and are not available for normal personal accounts.
An option to add a website link is a very useful feature that can easily divert a lot of users from the platform to your main website to increase its traffic. By doing so you can either expect user coming from TikTok to avail services or purchase goods on offer by your business on your site.
Therefore, if you use a personal account on TikTok this is probably the reason why you lack this feature, as this feature is solely reserved for business account only.
