bento.me

Bento.me is a Berlin-based platform launched in 2022 for creators, startups, and individuals to build elegant, visual "link-in-bio" pages. It allows users to integrate links, images, videos, podcasts, newsletters, photos, and calendars into personalized, grid-like pages—ideal for social bios on Instagram or TikTok where only one link is permitted. Acquired by Linktree in June 2023, it operates separately for now but will shut down on February 13, 2026, after which user pages redirect to Linktree and data is deleted.

For SEO value, Bento.me offers backlinks from a domain with Domain Rating 11, though links reportedly do not get indexed by Google until externally linked, limiting direct SEO impact. Links are likely nofollow given the platform's nature, but submission can drive referral traffic from creators' audiences. With Linktree's massive user base (over 40 million), there's potential exposure before shutdown, making it a short-term option for startups.

Tips for listing: Sign up quickly at bento.me to create a free page—add your startup product link prominently with visuals for appeal. Export/backup your page data before February 2026 shutdown, as all content will be removed. Promote the Bento page on socials to encourage backlinks for indexing; migrate to Linktree post-shutdown for continuity.
