Every client’s links in one place, and one link to send them

Where a consultant’s links end up

No engagement starts with a link system. Links accumulate in whichever tool was open when someone sent them, and the cost shows up when you, a colleague or the client needs one back.

• Buried in client email threads and meeting invites
• Pasted into slide speaker notes and spreadsheet cells
• “Final_v3” in the client’s Drive, and “final_v4” in yours
• SharePoint and data-room links only one person has access to
• Bookmarks on your laptop that nobody else on the engagement can see

Consulting knowledge management, without a knowledge-management project

Most firms don’t need a new knowledge base; they need the good material from the last engagement to be findable on the next one. Keep a practice library next to your client folders, tag it by industry, capability and deliverable type, and write in each link’s note when to use it. Search covers titles, URLs, descriptions, your notes and the readable text of saved web pages, so “that retail pricing benchmark” is one query away. Give important frameworks an owner and a review interval, and Linkbry shows them as due for review instead of letting them quietly go stale.

• Nested folders for practice areas, clients and engagements
• Tags for industry, capability, stage and deliverable type
• A private note on every link, visible to your workspace only
• Link owners and review dates for material that ages
• A broken-link checker that flags sources that died or moved

A client portal for links, not another file portal

A Linkbry client page is a read-only list of links (and any files you upload), grouped by subfolder, with a search box. Give it the client’s name, a description, your logo and accent colour; add a password and an expiry date if the material is sensitive or the engagement has an end date. Documents stay where they already live (Drive, SharePoint, the data room), and the page is the one place that points to all of them. On Pro, a client page can also be served on your own domain, which we set up with you.

Keep each client’s work separate

Two ways to separate clients. Keep one workspace with a folder per client and restrict each folder to the people on that engagement, or (on Pro) create a separate workspace per client and invite the client’s team into it as free viewers. Either way, links can also be kept private to you, and a shared page never shows notes, archived links or private links. One thing to plan for: sharing a folder also publishes its subfolders, so keep internal working links in a sibling folder rather than a child of the client’s page.

Pricing for a consulting practice

Solo consultants can run on the Free plan: one person, up to 100 links, and client pages with passwords, expiry dates and your branding (the page shows a small “Made with Linkbry” footer). Pro is $10 per owner or editor per month, or $100 a year, with no link limit, more storage for uploaded files, the option to hide the footer, and more than one workspace. Clients, reviewers and read-only colleagues are free viewers, so a three-partner boutique pays $30 a month however many client stakeholders it invites.

When Linkbry isn’t the right fit

Linkbry is a library of links, not a practice-management suite. If you need invoicing, contracts, e-signatures, time tracking or file approval workflows in one client portal, use dedicated client-portal software and link to it from Linkbry. It doesn’t replace your document storage or version history, and it keeps the readable text of web pages for search rather than full archived copies.
