Instead of sending followers to a single destination, you can give them access to multiple links, highlight offers, and collect email leads. This can help you connect with your audience more effectively and drive more traffic where it matters. In this article, we’ll walk through how to set up and customize your own Link in Bio Funnel using ClickFunnels.

Instead of choosing between your website, store, or latest promo, this funnel brings all your key links into a single branded page. It acts as a quick snapshot of who you are and what you offer, helping followers take the next step whether that’s watching a video, signing up for your email list, or checking out your products. For businesses, this means more control over traffic and more chances to guide visitors toward meaningful actions. It’s a simple way to introduce your brand and give your audience choices without overwhelming them. For example, in the fitness niche: - A coach might link to their online calendar, a free training video, and a newsletter sign-up. - Someone selling digital products could promote their workout programs, healthy meal plans, and a free download. - A physical product business could use the funnel to feature their supplements, gear, and a limited-time offer. --- ## Understanding the Hero Funnel Structure The Link in Bio Funnel is built around a simple two-step layout. Each page plays a clear role in helping you connect with your audience and guide them toward action. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-WH6C6JXQ.png) - **Link in Bio / Hero Page** This is the main page your visitors will see after clicking your bio link. It usually includes a short bio, a photo or video, and a list of buttons linking to your top content or offers. You can also add an email opt-in form for people who want to stay in touch. Everything on this page is designed to introduce you quickly and give visitors easy ways to explore your brand. - **Thank You Page** Once someone signs up for your email list, they’re taken to this page. It’s your chance to confirm the subscription, say thank you, and share the next steps like a special offer, a link to a free resource, or a quick message. This helps turn new leads into engaged followers or potential customers. --- ## Creating a Hero Funnel A **Hero Funnel** can be built quickly using ClickFunnels' pre-designed templates.

If you prefer a completely custom setup, click **Start from Scratch** to build your Hero funnel manually.

Once the template is loaded into your workspace, you can begin customizing it to fit your business, audience, and sales message. --- ## Editing Hero Funnel Pages Once the Hero Funnel is installed, you can customize it by clicking **Customize Now** from the installation screen or by going to the **Funnels** section in your dashboard. From there, select the **Hero Funnel** to open the page editor. 1. Open the Funnel Workflow Editor by clicking on the funnel.

Each page is made up of sections, columns, rows, and elements. For a Hero Funnel, key areas to customize include: - **Profile Section**: Add a clear photo or video and a short intro that highlights who you are and what you do. - **Headline**: Use a simple, engaging message that invites people to explore or take action. - **Link Buttons**: Add buttons for your top content, products, or platforms. Keep the labels short and specific. - **Email Opt-In**: Include a name and email field to let visitors subscribe to your updates or free offer. - **Confirmation Message**: Use the thank you page to confirm the sign-up and guide them to a next step, like checking their inbox or visiting another page.

With workflows, you can: - **Send Welcome Emails**: Thank subscribers for joining and let them know what to expect next. - **Deliver Lead Magnets or Free Offers**: Share links to your free guide, video, or downloadable resource. - **Notify Your Team**: Automatically alert your team when a new lead comes in or hits a specific trigger. **To create a workflow:** 1. Locate the funnel step where you want to trigger the workflow. 2. Click the **Lightning Bolt** icon next to the step to add a new or existing workflow. 3. Select an existing workflow from the list or create a new one. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-NJABOYZ0.png) 4. Click **+ (Plus)** icon to add actions such as **Send an Email, Send an Asset, Enroll in a Course, or Tag Contact**. 5. (Optional) Add a **Delay** to space out follow-up actions over time. 6.
