About branded links

One naming convention, total campaign clarity

UTMs for the machines, short links for the humans

Launch-day telemetry, not next-week reports

The first three hours of a launch tell you which creative works - If you can see them. Short-link stats update in real time, so budget moves while the campaign is still live, not in the retro.

FAQs

What's the fastest attribution win to start with?

Split your next campaign's links by channel - One for email, one per platform. The first week of comparative click data usually settles a debate you've been having for months.

Can we A/B test creatives with links?

Give each variant its own link and compare click counts live - The fastest possible read on which creative pulls before platform dashboards catch up.

How many links does a typical campaign need?

One per channel-placement pair you want to compare: email, each social platform, each poster site. The naming convention keeps twenty links as readable as two.

How does this fit with UTM tagging?

Build the UTM-tagged destination with our free UTM builder, then shorten it - Analytics platforms get their parameters and your audience gets a clean link.

The marketing placement playbook

Where marketing teams put their links, what the link looks like, and what the numbers mean once clicks arrive.

Placement	A link that fits	What the numbers tell you
Paid social ad	`goto.now/spring-ig`	Per-platform clicks beside ad-manager numbers catch discrepancies.
Email campaign	`goto.now/spring-email`	Clicks by campaign without waiting for the ESP report.
Influencer brief	`goto.now/spring-creator2`	Per-creator attribution that ends screenshot-based reporting.
Offline (print/radio)	`goto.now/spring-radio`	The channel that never had click data, finally measured.

Worth knowing: Lock the naming convention before the campaign, not after - 'campaign-channel' slugs sort themselves; ad-hoc names become archaeology in a quarter.
