How marketers and growth teams use GoTinyURLBranded short links
A custom URL shortener that keeps every link tidy and trackable
GoTinyURL is a URL shortener: paste a long web address and get a short link you can share anywhere. You can pick the back-half yourself, put it on your own domain, add UTM tags and see who clicked, from where and on which device. The free plan includes 25 active short links.
What is a URL shortener?
A URL shortener turns a long web address into a short one that redirects to the original. The short link is easier to read, type and share, and because every visit passes through the shortener first, it can count clicks and record anonymous details such as country and device before sending the visitor on.
In short

UTM builder built in
Add source, medium and campaign so Google Analytics attributes the visit correctly.
SEO preview control

How creators and influencers use GoTinyURLFAQ
Branded short links: common questions
Q01Is GoTinyURL a free URL shortener?
Yes. The free plan lets you keep 25 active short links with click analytics, custom back-halves and UTM tags, with no card required. Paid plans raise the limits and add features such as smart targeting and longer click history.
Q02Do GoTinyURL short links expire?
No, not unless you ask them to. A short link keeps working for as long as your account has it. If you want a link to stop on a date or after a number of clicks, turn on the expiring-link option for that link.
Q03Can I change where a short link points after I share it?
Yes. Open the link in your dashboard and edit the destination URL. Everyone who clicks the same short link from then on goes to the new page, which is why short links are safer than printing a long URL.
Q04How short are the links?
Automatically generated back-halves are 5 characters long, for example gotinyurl.com/x7Kp2. You can also type your own back-half, such as /menu or /webinar, as long as nobody else is using it on that domain.
Q05Are the "links" limits per month?
No. The limit is the total number of active short links on your account at one time, not a monthly quota. Delete an old link and you can create a new one in its place.
Q06Can I shorten links in bulk?
Yes, on paid plans. Paste a list of URLs and GoTinyURL creates a short link for each. Starter handles 50 per batch, Pro 500 and Business 1,000.
Q07Will short links hurt my SEO?
Short links use permanent server redirects, which search engines follow to the destination. They are meant for sharing in social posts, messages, print and ads rather than for replacing the internal links on your own website.
Q08Can I use my own domain for short links?
Yes. Connect a domain or subdomain you own, such as go.yourbrand.com, and your short links use it instead of gotinyurl.com. See the custom domains feature for setup.
Q09Is there an API for creating short links?
Yes. Every plan, including Free, can create and manage links through the REST API with a personal API key.
No question matches that. Try another word, or ask us directly.
