Branded link shortener FAQ
What is a custom domain URL shortener?
It's a link shortener that lets you use your own domain (like go.yourbrand.com) for short links instead of a shared generic domain — so every link is branded to you.
Why use branded short links instead of a free shortener?
Branded links build trust and get more clicks because people can see your name in the URL. They also keep your brand consistent across campaigns and make links harder to mistake for spam.
How do I connect my custom domain?
Add your domain in the dashboard, then point a DNS record at Shortly. Once connected, you can choose that domain when creating links so the short URL uses your brand.
Do branded links still include analytics and QR codes?
Yes. Every link — branded or not — includes real-time click analytics and an auto-generated QR code, plus options like password protection and expiry.
