Stop Hurting Your SEO With Linktree β€” Do This Instead!

Nov 19, 2025
 

Realtors, let’s talk about something small…

that’s actually HUGE for your SEO and your visibility in Google + AI search. πŸ‘‡

Most agents put Linktree as their main link in their bio.

It feels organized.
It feels simple.
But it’s quietly working against you.

Here’s why:

βΈ»

🚫 1. Linktree gets ALL the SEO credit — not you.

When someone clicks Linktree, Google sees Linktree as the authority…
not your website
not your brand
not your business.

Those clicks should be building your domain authority — not theirs.

βΈ»

🚫 2. AI platforms treat Linktree as a “middleman,” not a trustworthy source.

ChatGPT, Google AI, and Meta AI all prefer:

πŸ‘‰ direct website links
❌ not redirect hubs
❌ not third-party pages

If your one and only bio link is Linktree, AI may not index your brand correctly — or at all.

βΈ»

🚫 3. Every Linktree click is a missed opportunity for YOU.

Your website only gains strength when you receive direct traffic.
Linktree interrupts the pathway that builds your SEO + online authority.

βΈ»

⭐ So what should agents do instead?

βœ… 1. Make your MAIN link your actual website. Always.

Your bio link should be:

πŸ‘‰ yourwebsite.com

This is the link that builds:
βœ” Google ranking
βœ” AI search visibility
βœ” credibility
βœ” overall brand authority

This one change makes a massive difference.

βΈ»

⭐ 2. Choose the BEST place for your additional links (Linktree or LinkedIn)

You have two smart, SEO-friendly options:

βΈ»

πŸ”Ή Option A: Add Linktree as your SECONDARY link (not your main one).

If you love having multiple buttons and organized links:
Use Linktree — but after your main domain.

Example:
Main link: yourwebsite.com
Secondary: linktr.ee/yourname

This keeps your SEO strong AND keeps your resources organized.

βΈ»

πŸ”Ή Option B: Use LinkedIn as your secondary link (high trust + high SEO)

Yes — the LinkedIn info is correct.

Google ranks LinkedIn extremely high.
It sees LinkedIn as a trusted, professional, verified directory.

This is powerful for:
βœ” referrals
βœ” recruiting
βœ” networking
βœ” growing your team
βœ” personal branding credibility

Example:
Main link: yourwebsite.com
Secondary: linkedin.com/in/yourname

βΈ»

⭐ 3. Keep your website link the SAME on every platform.

Instagram
Facebook
TikTok
YouTube
Pinterest
Threads
Google Business Profile

One consistent URL =
βœ” a stronger digital footprint
βœ” higher trust with Google
βœ” better AI search recognition
βœ” more eyes on YOUR brand

This is how you build long-term visibility.
