What does a PulseLink page look like?

To help you visualize this feature, we will use Agorapulse's PulseLink page as an example. You can view it here: https://pulselink.bio/agorapulse.
​
Within Agorapulse's PulseLink page, you can find:

  • Customizable Header: At the top, include your brand's display picture, a page title (e.g., "Agorapulse | Social Media Management Tool"), and a short description.

  • Social Media Icons: Below the header, add clickable icons for your other social media profiles (like Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, YouTube, Pinterest) to drive traffic across platforms.

  • Prominent Call-to-Action Buttons: Feature customizable buttons with labels and links. These direct followers to key resources such as demo bookings, free trials, or specific product features (e.g., "Book a personalized demo," "Start a FREE 30-day trial").

  • Interactive Instagram Post Grid: A grid displays your selected Instagram posts. Each post is clickable and links to a unique URL, guiding followers from specific content directly to a relevant product page, article, or resource."
