How to Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile with a Digital Card
Bridge your LinkedIn presence and digital card for maximum reach
LinkedIn is where professionals discover you, but your profile alone cannot share your phone number, portfolio, or scheduling link. Adding your NexaLink digital card to your LinkedIn profile gives visitors a one-click way to get all your contact details.
Before You Start
- NexaLink app installed
- Digital business card created
- LinkedIn profile

Open the NexaLink app, navigate to your card, and copy the shareable link.
Add It to Your LinkedIn Featured Section
Go to your LinkedIn profile, click Add Profile Section, select Featured, then add a link with your NexaLink URL.
Include It in Your Contact Info
Edit your LinkedIn Contact Info section and paste the NexaLink URL in the Website field.
Add It to Your LinkedIn Bio
Mention your digital card in the About section with a call to action like 'Grab my digital card at [link]'.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do recipients need the NexaLink app?
No. When someone scans your QR code, taps your NFC, or clicks your link, your card opens as a mobile-optimized webpage in their browser. They can save your contact directly — no download required.
Can I update my card after sharing it?
Yes. Change your job title, phone number, or company and every person who received your card sees the update instantly. No reprints, no re-sharing — one card, always current.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 1 digital card, basic templates, QR code sharing, and 10 card scans per month — with no time limit or credit card required. Upgrade to Pro ($5.99/month) for unlimited cards and NFC sharing.
How is this different from a paper business card?
Paper cards can't be updated, don't track engagement, and get lost in pockets. A digital card stays current, shows you who viewed it, and lets recipients save your contact in one tap.
What sharing methods are available?
Five options: QR code (they scan it), NFC tap (phone-to-phone, Pro feature), direct link (text or email), Apple Wallet, and Google Wallet. Pick whichever fits the moment.
