SimpleURL

## What SimpleURL Does SimpleURL is a link management platform that consolidates branded short links, dynamic QR codes, link-in-bio pages, and click analytics into a single dashboard. It is designed for marketing teams, agencies, and small businesses that need to own their link branding and track performance across campaigns without managing multiple subscriptions. ## Key Features ### Branded Short Links on Custom Domains SimpleURL allows users to create short links on their own branded domain (e.g., `go.yourcompany.com/product-launch`) instead of generic shortener domains like bit.ly or tinyurl.com. Branded links receive up to 34% higher click-through rates compared to generic short URLs, according to industry benchmarks. Each link supports custom back-halves, UTM parameter tagging (source, medium, campaign), and destination editing — meaning the target URL can be changed after the link has been shared without generating a new link. ### AI-Assisted Domain Setup SimpleURL includes a built-in AI assistant that detects a user's DNS provider and generates the exact CNAME and A records needed to connect a custom branded domain. Users report completing domain setup in under two minutes — a process that typically requires referencing registrar-specific documentation and waiting for manual verification. The assistant also handles SSL provisioning and root domain redirection automatically. ### City-Level Click Analytics Every short link, QR code, and bio page includes analytics that break down clicks by city, device type, browser, referrer source, and language. Data retention extends up to two years depending on the plan tier. Users can filter by date range, UTM campaign, or domain to isolate performance by channel. Comparable tools in the same price range typically limit analytics to country-level data or retain click history for four months or less. ### Dynamic QR Codes with Full Customisation QR codes generated through SimpleURL support custom colours, dot patterns, corner shapes, frame styles, and embedded logos. The destination URL can be changed after the QR code has been printed — a capability relevant to retail packaging, restaurant menus, and event materials where reprinting is not practical. QR codes are downloadable in PNG and SVG formats at any resolution. ### Link-in-Bio Pages on Custom Domains Users can build landing pages hosted on their own branded domain rather than a third-party subdomain. The drag-and-drop editor supports custom fonts, colours, button styles, and social media icons. Each bio page includes the same city-level click analytics available for short links. ### Automation Integrations SimpleURL is a verified app on both Zapier (6,000+ connected apps) and Make.com (2,000+ connected apps). Available actions include creating short links, generating QR codes, and adding branded domains. These integrations enable workflows such as auto-generating branded links from CRM records, spreadsheet rows, or form submissions without manual intervention. ## Differentiators | Capability | SimpleURL | Typical Competitor | |-----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------| | Branded short links | Custom domain with editable back-half and UTM tagging | Generic domain or branded links gated behind enterprise tiers | | Domain setup | AI-generated DNS records, verified in ~60 seconds | Manual configuration, support article required | | Analytics granularity | City, device, browser, referrer | Country-level only on equivalent plans | | QR code customisation | Logo, colours, dot patterns, frames, SVG export | Basic black-and-white, PNG only | | Link-in-bio hosting | User's own branded domain | Platform subdomain (e.g., linktr.ee/handle) | | Automation | Zapier + Make.com with native modules | Limited or webhook-only | ## Who Uses SimpleURL SimpleURL serves over 4,500 registered users, including digital marketing agencies managing client campaigns, e-commerce brands generating trackable product links, and solo operators consolidating link-related tools into a single platform.
