BRAND CONTROL

    Branded Links That Keep Your Domain Visible

    Replace an unfamiliar shared domain with a branded address your audience can recognize before clicking.

    Your domain

    Connect an approved domain or subdomain and assign it to links and public profiles.

    Readable slugs

    Pair the branded host with a descriptive back-half that makes sense in social, email, and print.

    Central control

    Update destinations and review analytics without losing the branded URL already shared.

    What makes a link branded

    A branded link uses a domain controlled by your business or creator brand instead of a generic shortening host. The domain and slug work together to provide context before the visitor opens the destination.

    Examples include go.example.com/summer or links.example.com/booking. The exact structure depends on the domain and DNS configuration you choose.

    • Recognizable host name
    • Consistent campaign naming
    • Custom short back-half
    • Destination managed in Linktery

    Where branded links help

    Brand visibility matters when the URL is exposed as text: creator bios, podcast descriptions, direct messages, event signage, packaging, and email. A clear address can also make internal campaign reviews easier.

    Branding does not replace good security practices. Visitors should still evaluate the destination, and link owners should keep DNS, account access, and destination content secure.

    • Social media bios
    • SMS and messaging campaigns
    • QR codes and print
    • Affiliate and partner links

    Domain setup in practice

    Connecting a custom domain normally requires adding DNS records provided by the platform. DNS propagation and certificate issuance can take time, so plan the setup before a campaign launch.

    After verification, keep system and marketing pages canonical on linktery.com while using the custom or alias domain for the intended public link traffic.

    • Choose a short, dedicated domain or subdomain
    • Add the required DNS record
    • Wait for verification and HTTPS
    • Test redirects on mobile and desktop

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I use a subdomain for branded links?

    Yes. A dedicated subdomain such as go.example.com is often a convenient choice because it can be managed separately from the main website.

    Will my custom link use HTTPS?

    A production branded domain should be verified and served over HTTPS before it is shared publicly.

    Can a branded domain serve public profiles too?

    Yes, when the domain is connected and assigned to the profile according to the account's available domain settings.
