Overview

What Is a Shazam Deep Link?

Shazam is the discovery reflex of modern music, billions of taps from people asking “what’s this song?” the second they hear it in an ad, a film, a store, or a TikTok. The friction for artists: a normal shazam.com link tapped off-platform often opens a logged-out web page that stalls that high-intent moment, instead of carrying the listener forward into a stream and a follow.

A Shazam deep link removes that friction. Instead of sharing a raw shazam.com URL, you share a short LinkTwin link. When a curious listener taps it on their phone, LinkTwin detects the Shazam app and opens it directly on your song or artist page, where they can preview the track, see its details, and tap through to play it in full on Apple Music, Spotify, or their service of choice, then follow you.

When the Shazam app isn’t installed, the same link opens the matching shazam.com page in the browser instead, so one link works whether the listener is a daily Shazammer or a first-timer. Use it in your bio, a sync-placement promo, an ad, or a QR at a live show, and every tap is tracked before the app opens, turning a fleeting “what’s playing?” into measurable discovery.

Discovery that converts

Shazam captures the highest-intent moment in music, your link turns that spark into a stream on the listener’s service.

Step by Step

How to Create a Shazam Deep Link

From a shazam.com URL to an app-opening, trackable link in under a minute, no developer, no setup.

1

Copy your Shazam link

Grab the URL to your song or artist page from the Share menu in Shazam or the web address bar.

2

Paste it into LinkTwin

Drop the URL into the generator above. LinkTwin recognises the Shazam link and prepares the iOS and Android app handoff.

3

Brand your short link

Use the short link as-is, or add a custom alias like /whats-this or your own domain for a clean, memorable URL.

4

Share it everywhere

Add it to your bio, sync promos, ads, and live-show QR codes. Every tap opens Shazam when possible, and every tap is counted.
