One link or a category directory: where should your profile live?

June 26, 2026 · 4 min read

A single shared link is easy. A category directory makes you findable on purpose. The strongest setup uses both, pointing at one canonical profile.

Pick one canonical destination

Spreading yourself across ten handles dilutes you. Pick one canonical profile that you control and point everything at it. A single link is easier to cite, share and rank than a profile buried inside one app.

Why a directory adds discovery

A lone link is only useful to people you send it to. A category directory adds the missing half: people browsing a category or a country can run into you without ever having heard your name.

  • Browsable by category and location
  • Indexable by search engines and AI answers
  • A shared surface other members help promote

Use both, not one

Keep your one canonical link for the audience you have, and add a directory spot for the audience you do not have yet. On Million Profile your spot is both: a permanent link to your main profile and a listing inside a searchable grid.
