Your name
How to claim linkz.io/yourname, what names are allowed, and how to change it.
Your name is the part after linkz.io/. It’s what people type, and what your codes point to.
- On the sign-up screen, type the name you’d like under Claim your name.
- We check it as you type. If it’s free, carry on. If not, try another.
- Fill in Business or page name. This is the name shown at the top of your page, and it can be anything.
What’s allowed: lower-case letters, numbers and hyphens, from 3 to 30 characters, not starting or ending with a hyphen. Some names are kept back, such as names that sound like parts of linkz.io itself, or other people’s brands.
Pages don’t have to be for a business. Clubs, bands, makers or just you are all welcome.
Changing your name
You can’t change it yourself yet. Write to hello@linkz.io from the email address on your account, and we’ll move it for you. Your codes keep working: they follow your account, not the name.
If it doesn’t work
- “That name is not available.” Someone has it, or it’s kept back. Try a variation.
- “That name is kept for linkz.io.” It’s reserved. Try another.
- “Names need a few more characters.” Names start at three characters.
