Total Bio Link Taps

Total taps on any link in your bio. Fittings and shop traffic are your priority destinations this quarter.

A softer month. Several signals held steady, but retention and saves dipped and are the focus going into next month.

Your score reflects how this month performed against your stage targets, weighted by what predicts buyer behavior. Monthly score is a snapshot. Strategy decisions are made on quarterly trend, not single-month signal.

2 What we did

We published 14 posts, leaning into the Juniors program, community events and traditions, and product collections, all pointing toward fittings and shop visits.

Your engagement stage scored 35%, down from June. Retention fell from its 66% breakout and saves dropped to 2, which pulled the layer down, though comments recovered. Save-worthy carousels and stronger hooks are the levers to rebuild it.

Built from Bio Link Taps, CTR, PCR, weighted by buyer-predictive value.

Your conversion stage scored 48%. Click-through and link taps held inside their Spark ranges, while profile conversion eased under floor as reach softened. The conversion path is efficient; the job is feeding it more volume from the top.

Below the Spark floor and down sharply from June’s breakout. Stronger hooks and tighter edits are the clear focus.

▼ 82% vs June

Well below floor and down from June. Save-worthy fit guides and how-tos are the lever to rebuild it.

▼ 0.1 pts vs June

Inside range and essentially flat. The bio link keeps converting the traffic it gets.

Bio link tap trajectory · 2026

As we’ve worked together, we’ve grown your ability to drive attention through organic social. This chart tracks your bio link taps across 2026, the highest-intent signal we can measure directly and the cleanest read on your direction. At your current volume, dollar modeling gets noisy, so we chart tap volume now and begin dollar modeling once you clear roughly 50 taps a month. Watch the trend: more taps means more people choosing to act.

Once your tap volume supports dollar modeling, these figures will use industry benchmarks for your category, not your books. Share your real numbers (average sale, repeat rate, typical customer lifetime value) and we will build this on your actual economics, so the trajectory reflects your business instead of the category.

4 What we learned

Your community-program and event content is what reaches new people.

Your audience is stable and still clicking through. Content depth and save-worthiness are what slipped, so that is where the work goes.

5 What’s next

We rebuild retention with stronger hooks and tighter edits, and test save-driven formats like fit guides and how-tos.

Where our attention is in August

Rebuild retention

In August, our attention is on retention: stronger hooks and tighter edits to bring watch-time back above the 35% Spark floor after this month’s dip.

Save-driven formats

We’re testing fit guides and shoe-comparison carousels built to be saved, the clearest lever to lift saves back off the floor.
