Linktree, Facebook, Google My Business, WordPress: what really changes for a merchant, in one table, then in detailed guides.
No credit card · Live in 10 minutes
Most merchants already juggle one tool: a Linktree bio, a Facebook page, a Google listing, sometimes an old WordPress. Each has a real role, but none covers the full need for a clear, shareable, local business page.
Heedsy sits in the middle: more than a link-in-bio, simpler than a site, complementary to Google and Facebook. The table below summarizes the gaps. The detailed guides go deeper on each matchup.
The goal is not to “replace everything”, but to give you a pro page of your own (with QR code, hours and local SEO), in 10 minutes.

How to read this comparison
Linktree excels for creators: links + monetization (tips, shop, affiliates). It is not a business listing with hours and local SEO.
Facebook Pro (Meta Business Page), remains useful to animate a community and run ads, but customers stay inside Meta, and organic reach varies.
Google My Business (Business Profile), is almost mandatory for Maps. That still is not a full page you control end to end.
WordPress can do everything if someone maintains it. For many businesses, the time and money cost exceeds the real need.
Heedsy targets the “business pro page” niche: fast, local, shareable, no technical load. Often alongside Google and Facebook, sometimes replacing a Linktree or an abandoned WordPress.

Frequently asked questions
Should I drop Google or Facebook for Heedsy?
No. The most effective setup is often to keep Google (Maps), and optionally Facebook (community), and use Heedsy as the single destination page (bio, QR, flyers).
Does Heedsy replace Linktree?
For a local business, yes in most cases. If you monetize a creator audience (tips, digital products), Linktree remains relevant on that side.
Does Heedsy replace WordPress?
If you need a clear business page: often yes. If you need a multi-page site, blog or complex shop: WordPress (or an e-commerce solution), remains a fit.
Is it free?
Yes, the Starter plan lets you publish. Advanced modules are on Pro. No credit card to start.
