Linktree: What it is and how to take advantage of it in social media. When we have a business, we will always try to have a presence on various platforms or digital sites. The recommendations to increase our visibility can be creating a page or website, creating a profile on a social media platform, and another very frequent these days, the use of WhatsApp Business for customer service.
