Short links: shorten your URLs and track the clicks
Nobody can read out a long link full of letters and numbers over the phone, and it looks bad on a flyer. With 1li.ch short links you turn any address into a short link that’s easy to share, type and remember, and you see how many people click on it.
What short links are for
A short link is a brief address that leads to any page you like: a registration form, a video, an online document, a product page. You use it in WhatsApp messages, text messages, newsletters, on social media and in print.
The benefit isn’t just cosmetic. Every short link has its own statistics, so you know how many clicks it has received and where they come from. If you use a different link on each channel, you’ll see straight away whether the newsletter or the Facebook post works better.
You can also add deep linking, app opening on mobile, link scheduling and limits, UTM parameters, password protection and short URL masking to your short links. Passwords and scheduling are included from Personal; deep linking, app opening, UTM parameters and masking from Business. A short link can also be turned into a QR code or published on your custom domain. And if you want to show several links together rather than a single address, what you need is a bio link page.
Three examples from Ticino
The carnival association
For Rabadan, the association shares a short link to the volunteer form in the group chat. It’s short and readable, and the committee can see how many people opened it before the meeting.
The accountant in Chiasso
Emails to clients include a short link to the document with the tax deadlines. The link is clean, doesn’t put anyone off and can be read out over the phone without mistakes.
The gym in Biasca
One link for the flyer, one for Instagram and one for the newsletter, all pointing to the same autumn offer. After two weeks, the gym knows which channel brought in the most sign-ups.
