Claiming a square and never linking it is like buying a billboard and leaving the lights off. This is a practical placement guide for your Internet Map profile URL (https://oninternetmap.com/@handle) - ranked by leverage, with notes on copy and tracking.
High leverage placements
- X / LinkedIn / Instagram bio - highest casual discovery.
- Personal or company site footer - always-on, low friction.
- About / Team pages - context-rich, good for verification storytelling.
- Launch tweet / PH maker comment - spike traffic when attention exists.
- Email newsletter P.S. - surprisingly high CTR when used sparingly.
- Pitch deck appendix - one slide, one screenshot.
- GitHub profile README - great for devtools brands.
- Community Discord/Slack bookmark or topic - for niche tribes.
Medium leverage / situational
- Job descriptions - culture signal.
- Conference speaker bios - novelty without being the whole talk.
- Support signatures - only if it doesn’t confuse customers.
- Packaging / merch QR - if you already make objects.
Copy templates
- “Map address: oninternetmap.com/@handle”
- “Early square + coordinates - find us on Internet Map”
- “Verified on the internet’s map → /@handle”
Use UTMs (lightly)
Example: /@handle?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=bio&utm_campaign=map_address. Don’t UTM every casual mention into unreadability. Track the big bio and launch posts; ignore the rest.
What good looks like after a month
Steady profile views, occasional map opens, a few inbound “what is this map?” messages, and at least one screenshot from someone else. If you’ve linked it everywhere and still see zero, refresh tile art and lead with a clearer one-liner on the profile itself.
