A SmartLink is a single shareable link (in the form distrovi.be/your-slug) that displays every store your release is available on — Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and however many others — as a clean landing page. Instead of picking one platform to share (and losing everyone who uses a different one), you share one link and let each fan choose their own.
Why this matters for promotion
If you post a direct Spotify link on Instagram, an Apple Music listener has to manually search for your track themselves — most won't bother. A SmartLink removes that friction entirely, which is why it's the standard link to use in bio links, press releases, and paid ad campaigns rather than any single store's URL.
Creating a SmartLink
- Go to SmartLinks in your dashboard.
- Select the release you want to create a link for. For releases already live through DistroVibe, store links can be pulled in automatically.
- For a pre-release or upcoming track (before it's live), you can still create a SmartLink manually and add store links as they become available, or use it as a pre-save style landing page.
- Customize the URL slug, the cover art shown, and which platform buttons appear (you can hide platforms you don't want listed even if the release is technically available there).
- Publish — the link goes live immediately and is ready to share.
Editing after publishing
You can go back and edit a SmartLink's cover art, title, links, and settings at any time after publishing — changes apply immediately without needing to create a new link or losing the URL you've already shared.
