Use custom aliases for better sharing

Custom aliases make links easier to recognize, remember, and reuse. They are especially useful in podcasts, SMS campaigns, event signage, printed flyers, and sales conversations where a random code is hard to communicate.

Use campaign names that match the destination.
Keep aliases short and readable.
Avoid vague labels such as link1 or promo2.
Reserve branded domains for high-value or public campaigns.

Custom short URLs also improve measurement

When each campaign has a dedicated custom short URL, reporting becomes cleaner. You can compare clicks, referrers, devices, and locations without depending only on analytics inside the destination page.

Create one alias per campaign, channel, or creative.
Attach UTMs to keep GA4 and ad reporting consistent.
Use QR codes for print and offline attribution.
Disable or expire links when campaigns end.
