Branded Short Links
Branded short links your audience trusts.
Branded short links use your own domain instead of a generic shortener, which dramatically improves click-through rate and reduces spam filtering. LinkPilot makes the setup painless and gives every branded link the same analytics, expiry, and audit controls as the rest of your link library.
Common use cases
- Replacing bit.ly links in marketing campaigns
- Shipping branded URLs in newsletters and SMS
