Method 1) Add Link to Post Content
You can still add a link to your post content on Instagram.
But it would appear as a text and not as a link.
Most Instagram users are conditioned to scroll or swipe. And so many indulge in copying the text and pasting it into their browser until or unless they desperately seek something.
Method 2) Add Link to Instagram Profile
Instagram allows you to add one link to your profile.
But is it sufficient?
You can add a link to your profile and get some visitors to land on your website.
