What is a multi-link page?

A multi-link page transforms a single QR code into an interactive experience that presents visitors with multiple destination choices. Instead of redirecting everyone to the same URL, it displays an interface where people can select from various options like social media profiles, contact information, portfolio links, or custom forms.

This approach maximizes the utility of each QR code while providing valuable insights into visitor preferences and behavior patterns.

The evolution beyond simple links

Most people think QR codes only redirect to one destination. You scan, you land on a webpage, end of story. But that's like using a smartphone only to make phone calls. You're missing the real potential.

A multi-link page transforms a single QR code into an interactive experience that can present multiple destinations, collect information, and guide visitors through sophisticated workflows. Think of it as the difference between a road sign pointing in one direction and a smart GPS that adapts its route based on your preferences.

"Traditional QR codes are static billboards. Multi-link pages are interactive conversations."

How multi-link pages work in Linkbreakers

At its core, a multi-link page is a workflow step within Linkbreakers' intelligent routing system. When someone scans your QR code, they don't immediately jump to a final destination. Instead, they enter a carefully crafted sequence of interactive steps.

Here's what happens behind the scenes:

1. QR scan triggers workflow entry
2. Interactive page displays multiple options
3. Visitor clicks their preferred button
4. System routes to appropriate next step or destination
5. Analytics capture every interaction

Each button on your multi-link page can lead somewhere different. One might take visitors to your Instagram, another to your email signup form, and yet another might trigger a completely different workflow based on their interests.

Real-world applications that actually work

The networking powerhouse

Sarah, a freelance graphic designer, replaced her traditional business cards with QR code stickers. Her multi-link page offers visitors these options:

• View portfolio (routes to Behance)
• Schedule consultation (Calendly booking)
• Follow on social media (Instagram)
• Download contact info (vCard)
• Request quote (custom form)

Each choice tells Sarah something valuable about her prospects. Portfolio viewers are serious potential clients. Social followers might refer others. Quote requesters are ready to buy.

The restaurant revolution

Marco's Italian bistro uses multi-link pages on table tents. Diners can choose:

• View today's specials
• Join loyalty program
• Leave feedback
• Order takeout
• Reserve for next visit

The same QR code serves multiple purposes while tracking which options customers prefer. Marco discovered that 67% of table scans lead to loyalty signups, but only 12% result in immediate takeout orders. This insight shifted his marketing strategy completely.

The event management game-changer

TechCrunch 2024 used multi-link pages for attendee badges. One scan offered:

• Download conference app
• Connect with speakers on LinkedIn
• Access presentation slides
• Provide session feedback
• Network with other attendees

Instead of printing different QR codes for each function, one code handled everything. Event organizers tracked which sessions generated the most engagement and which speakers people wanted to connect with most.

The technical magic behind the curtain

Linkbreakers implements multi-link functionality through what we call workflow steps. These aren't just fancy redirects - they're intelligent components that can:

• Display custom interactive interfaces
• Collect visitor information progressively
• Apply conditional logic based on responses
• Route to different destinations dynamically
• Track comprehensive analytics throughout

You can chain multiple workflow steps together. Maybe your multi-link page leads to a quick survey, then based on those answers, visitors see different social media options. Or perhaps they fill out contact details first, then get personalized product recommendations.

The system supports everything from simple contact card sharing (like Linktree) to complex lead qualification funnels that rival expensive marketing automation platforms.

Why this matters for your business

Traditional link-in-bio tools force you to choose: either send everyone to the same place, or create multiple QR codes for different purposes. Multi-link pages eliminate that compromise.

More importantly, they transform passive scanning into active engagement. Instead of hoping visitors remember to check out your other social profiles, you can present those options immediately and track which ones resonate.

Consider these statistics from our customer base:

• Multi-link pages see 3.2x higher engagement than single-destination QR codes
• Visitors spend 45% more time interacting with content
• 73% of businesses report better lead quality from workflow-captured data
• 89% of users prefer choosing their next action rather than being forced down one path

Building your first multi-link page

Creating a multi-link page in Linkbreakers starts with understanding your visitor's journey. What are the different things someone might want after scanning your QR code?

You can set this up through our workflow system or programmatically via our comprehensive API. The process involves:

1. Designing your interactive interface
2. Defining button destinations
3. Setting up analytics tracking
4. Testing the complete experience

For developers and advanced users, our API documentation provides complete control over workflow creation. You can build multi-link experiences that integrate with your existing systems and trigger complex business logic.

Advanced multi-link strategies

The real power emerges when you start thinking beyond simple redirects. Consider these advanced patterns:

Conditional routing: Different buttons appear based on visitor location, device type, or previous interactions.

Progressive profiling: Each workflow step collects a bit more information, building comprehensive visitor profiles over time.

A/B testing workflows: Show different multi-link options to different visitor segments and measure which performs better.

Integration triggers: Button clicks can fire webhooks, update CRM records, or trigger marketing automation sequences.

Dynamic content: Multi-link pages can display different options based on time of day, inventory levels, or external data sources.

Measuring success beyond click counts

Traditional link tracking tells you how many people clicked. Multi-link page analytics tell you how people think.

Which options do visitors choose most often? At what point do they drop off? How does behavior differ between mobile and desktop users? Between different traffic sources?

This granular insight helps optimize not just your QR code campaigns, but your entire customer experience. When you know that 80% of restaurant QR scans lead to menu views but only 15% result in loyalty signups, you can redesign the experience to improve conversion.

The future is interactive

We're moving beyond the era of passive consumption toward active, choice-driven experiences. Multi-link pages represent this shift in microcosm.

Instead of bombarding people with everything at once (traditional websites) or forcing them down predetermined paths (single QR codes), multi-link pages respect visitor agency while providing business intelligence.

This approach scales from personal networking to enterprise marketing campaigns. The same fundamental concept works whether you're a solo consultant sharing contact information or a Fortune 500 company orchestrating complex customer journeys.
