Whether you're looking to shorten a long URL for easier sharing or create a geo link to tailor user experiences based on location, the found.ee platform makes it simple & easy!
What Are Short Links and Geo Links?
Short links are compact versions of long URLs that are easier to share and track. They also look more professional and often come with analytics to monitor clicks and engagement. For instance, a long URL like www.yoursite.com/album-release/2024-new-songs can be shortened to something sleek, like found.ee/NewAlbum.
Geo Links are specialized links that redirect users based on their geographic location. This ensures that users are directed to the most relevant site or platform for their region. For example, a geo link could send US-based users to Spotify while directing France-based users to Deezer.
