Profiles Updated Jul 13, 2026

Profiles

Profiles are optional link-in-bio pages for a person or organization. They provide one clean destination for a short introduction and a collection of important links.

Personal profiles

Open Profile settings to manage your account information and public profile.

The public-profile editor remains collapsed until you choose to create or edit a profile. From there you can:

  • Claim a unique username.
  • Add or update a short bio.
  • Add, rename, reorder through editing, or remove profile links.
  • Choose whether the profile is public or private.
  • Open the published page at /p/{username}.

Your account email, password, and other private account settings are never shown on the public profile.

Visitors can return to URLNow from the icon at the top of the profile card or use the share control to open their device's share sheet. When native sharing is unavailable, URLNow copies the public profile URL instead. Privacy and Cookie Policy links remain available below every public profile.

Organization profiles

Organization owners and admins can open Public profile inside an organization workspace. An organization profile uses the workspace name, username, and logo together with a profile bio and a curated link list.

When publishing is enabled, the page is available at /o/{workspace-username}. When publishing is disabled, the public URL returns a not-found response while the saved content remains available to authorized workspace managers.

Profile analytics

Choose View analytics from the personal profile manager, or Analytics from an organization profile manager. Profile analytics include:

  • Public profile views.
  • Estimated unique visitors using a daily-rotating, privacy-safe identifier.
  • Outbound clicks for each profile link.
  • Click rate from profile views to outbound links.
  • Referring websites and UTM campaign sources.
  • Coarse visitor country when the network edge provides it.
  • Device type, operating system, and browser.
  • Coarse city and region when the network edge provides them.
  • Daily view and click trends for the last 7, 30, or 90 days.

Visits from detected bots are excluded from the displayed totals. Preview visits from the personal profile owner or organization owners and admins are also excluded.

Add utm_source, utm_medium, and utm_campaign parameters to a public profile URL when you want campaign attribution. For example:

https://urlnow.me/p/yourname?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=launch

URLNow parses device, operating-system, and browser values during the request, then discards the raw user-agent string. It does not store raw IP addresses or raw user-agent strings for profile analytics. Organization analytics are available only to organization owners and admins.

Platform icons

URLNow detects common platforms from link destinations and displays a matching icon. Supported destinations include popular social networks, video platforms, code hosting, messaging, email, and general websites.

The link title remains visible regardless of icon detection, so use a short label that tells visitors where the link goes.

Public and private visibility

New profile content can be prepared privately. Publish it only when the bio, image, and destinations are ready for anyone with the URL to see.

A public profile and every external link on it can be copied, shared, or indexed outside URLNow. Making a profile private hides the URLNow public page; it does not remove copies previously saved by other people or search services.

Profile safety

Profile bios and links must follow the same Terms and Safety Policy as short links. Do not use a profile for impersonation, phishing, malware, spam, deceptive destinations, or unlawful content. URLNow may hide a profile or remove individual links while reviewing reported abuse.
